Notes from TLC K9 Rescue

Meet Lena — A Tiny Girl With a BIG Personality! ❤️ Sometimes you just can’t say no to your fosters. LOL! ❤️ Lena is a tiny 5-pound spunky little girl who was dumped as a stray at the San Bernardino Shelter. Sadly, no one came looking for her, and what broke our hearts even more was that she was completely overlooked. Not one share. Not one comment. Thankfully, our wonderful fosters Crystal and her awesome daughter Jessica saw this precious little girl and knew they couldn’t let her be forgotten. TLC K9 Rescue stepped in, claimed her, and gave her a new name — Lena — and a chance at the life she deserves. ❤️ Lena is now ready to leave her past behind and start the next chapter of her life. She is a spunky, smart, curious puppy who absolutely thrives on learning. She loves her walks, going for car rides, exploring, and, of course, getting LOTS of attention and love. Because Lena is such a social little girl, we’re looking for a family who will include her in their lives and take her along on adventures whenever possible. She would also love having a gentle, friendly dog around her size to bond with and grow up alongside. ❤️ Lena is tiny enough to fit in your purse, but she has a personality that will fill your entire heart! ❤️ She has already been given a second chance. Now she just needs the family who will make sure that second chance lasts a lifetime. Apply to adopt Lena at www.tlck9rescue.org
