Selena is an 11 week old Italian Greyhound x Dachshund mix who is ready to take the stage and perform for her forever home! Selena was rescued from the shelter with her sister, Sabrina, after they were left behind by a moving family. We will be looking for separate homes for each of these singing superstars as we do not place siblings together. We expect Selena to end up in the 12-15 pound range when she reaches her adult size. Book Selena for a permanent residency at your forever home and adopt this gal today! Hurry, tickets are going fast. 

 

Selena is a confident and courageous gal who has the spirit of adventure and a heart of gold. Selena is curious and affectionate, just as happy to follow her sister around on adventures as she is to curl up in your lap for a long cuddle and nap. Even when Selena gets puppy zoomies, she still has a gentleness that is adorable and unlike most puppies. Selena loves being near her people, and loves sleeping on any surface she can find. She adores toys of all shapes and sizes, and true to her puppy nature she will run after just about any toy. Her favorite toy is whatever you are holding. If you walk up to Selena, you are equally as likely to see her wag her tail for a game of fetch as you are to see her roll onto her belly for some rubs. She loves playing and wrestling with her sister and would adore a canine companion in her forever home. Selena is such a sweet little angel who is the perfect mix of fun and chill according to her foster Mama. 

The girls start their day at 7 AM after sleeping through the night in a pen. They keep themselves occupied until their foster family is ready to start the day with their toys. They go outside to practice going potty before they come inside for breakfast. After breakfast they go back outside for some romping and playing before they take a long nap. Around noon, they get some playtime and cuddles during their foster parents lunch break before they head back to their pen for a bit. In the late afternoon, the puppies once again get a chance to practice pottying outside and then explore the yard. They love discovering new hiding places. In the evening, the girls have dinner before they get some socialization and playtime in the living room. Once their foster family finishes their workday, they settle down on the couch for some snuggles. The girls head to their pen for the night at 10 PM. 

Selena gets along well with dogs of all ages and sizes. She is curious about the resident cat but not aggressive. Selena is curious when she is held on neighborhood walks and loves meeting new people. She is very smart and will thrive in puppy school. If you are the competitive type, you will beat all the other puppies at training! Selena would love a home where she is adored and showers her in love and toys. She is incredibly adorable and sweet, with the best happy-go-lucky attitude. We know she will make your life complete! 

 

Selena is only an option for homes who have owned a dog in the last 5 years. Kids in the home should be over the age of 6.
