About Zena
Zena's life began with unimaginable hardship. Permanently tethered with no shelter, fresh water, or freedom, she was found emaciated and desperate. Despite such a traumatic start, this beautiful girl has blossomed into a happy, affectionate, fun-loving young dog who embraces every day with enthusiasm and joy.
Zena is: Affectionate & sweet-natured Confident & resilient Toy obsessed A water-loving splash queen Friendly & sociable Energetic & playful Lovely on lead Enjoys human company but is also independent
One of Zena's greatest joys is spending time with her best friend, Angel the Kelpie. The pair love rough-and-tumble play, sharing toys, playing tug-of-war with rope toys, and splashing around together in water. Zena absolutely adores her paddling pool and can happily spend her day running in and out of it!
Despite her neglectful past, Zena has been handled by multiple volunteers and has proven herself to be a friendly, confident girl who loves being included in activities. She doesn't appear anxious around men and thrives on companionship, adventure, and play.
Her ideal home: An active family A friendly canine companion Plenty of toys and enrichment Space to run, play, and explore People who will include her as a valued family member
Zena is a busy, intelligent young Border Collie with a heart full of love and a zest for life. After missing out on so much, she's making the most of her newfound freedom and is ready to find a family who will cherish her forever.
From neglected and forgotten to joyful and thriving, Zena is proof that love can change everything. Could you be her happily-ever-after?
