Lena is playful, sweet and slightly anxious 68 pound golden doodle. She adores human attention and affection, is a people person and needs to know where everyone in the house is at all times, and will find her person to attach to and specifically follow that human around everywhere (even poking her head into the bathroom to find that human).
She took a good week to transition to feeling “safe” at home but was able to work up to being able to be left alone for a few hours at a time, though still gets anxious when people are getting ready to leave and does not like the kennel still.
Lena loves to play outside and would have a ball in her mouth at all times if given the opportunity. Her stubborn poodle side has started coming through, as evidenced by her lack of desire to listen to commands when outside (we have learned some tricks to get her to come to us when it’s time to come inside). She loves to go for walks, but is easily distracted by other dogs and animals, and will need to solidify her basic obedience to improve her listening to her leader.
Lena LOVES to have play dates with other gentle playing dogs and could play for hours on end with a furry friend, though her perfect home would have no other animals as it is hard for her to settle and stop playing.
Once she feels safe, Lena settles comfortably to being inside and will lay calmly, gladly accepting pets and affection at any moment. She has the sweetest eyes that speak to your soul and will make your heart melt. She deserves a home that can give her the time and dedication to training, building trust, and building a relationship to feel safe and loved, something she missed out on the first couple years of life.
Lena is from a local impound. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application. An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract.
