Personality & Behavior
Jenny’s journey has been a long and challenging one. She arrived at a municipal canil as a tiny puppy with her siblings and spent two years in a small concrete box, never knowing the feeling of soft grass beneath her paws or the warmth of human love. When she and her brothers, Atila and Gengis Khan, finally came to our shelter, they were completely overwhelmed, the world outside their box was frightening, and they hid away, unsure of what to do.
But Jenny is brave. She was the first of the three to step forward and allow herself to be touched, the first to begin trusting humans again. Now she is finally enjoying the freedom of the big play area, forming bonds with other dogs and slowly but surely learning to embrace love and kindness.
