My story

It's so hard to follow Zena's back story, but from what we gathered, it seems that her owner was evicted and left her behind, tied up to a tree with no food or water. We are heartbroken for this sweet girl, but we know her forever family is out there somewhere. Zena is very friendly with people, and is being recommended for a home with kids 13 and up. This 9 1/2 year old golden girl is very petite, weighing in at 54 slender pounds. She is house trained, crate trained, and knows "sit", "down" and "touch". Zena is looking for a household the will provide her with physical and mental stimulation (she loves to play & do treat mats). She is also a total couch potato inside, so what we are are saying is that she is the perfect mix of chill and "let's play!". Zena is in need of a solo pet home. She is currently in temporary foster care and being a rock star, but still searching for her forever home!
