Under 2 years old and bursting with personality, Zena is an affectionate, playful, and hilarious young Great Dane with a zest for life and a heart full of love. She’s outgoing, curious, and lives to be close to her humans—if you’re in the room, you can bet she’ll be right there with you!

Zena is a classic Velcro dog, a leaner, a licker, and an A+ hugger. She’s a kisser, a shadow, and a natural comedian who’ll have you laughing daily with her puppy antics and expressive ears. Whether she’s rolling in the grass, de-stuffing a squeaky toy, or sticking her head through a screen door to check in on the action, Zena is always ready to play, love, and entertain.

🧡 What We Love About Zena:
• Super social with both men and women
• Fantastic with kids—lives with five in her foster home and adores them all
• Gets along great with other large dogs and loves to play
• Friendly and affectionate with guests
• Enjoys car rides and watching the world go by
• Not fearful or timid—confident and curious
• Fully house-trained and trustworthy with free roam
• Not destructive but loves to chew—bones and stuffies are her fave!
• Takes treats gently and is polite around food

🎓 Training & Manners:
Zena knows “sit” and is quickly picking up new commands thanks to her smarts and food motivation. She barks at passing dogs but is learning “no bark,” and while she pulls on leash (especially if she spots something exciting—turkeys beware!), she’s improving. She responds well to correction and consistency. She’s not crate trained but does well with her own cozy space. She can be a little mouthy when excited, but it’s all puppy playfulness.

🐾 Zena’s Ideal Home:
Zena is an active young pup who needs a family ready to match her energy and help her keep learning. She thrives with structure, space to run, and people who want a dog to include in their adventures. She would love a home with other dogs or kids to play with, but most of all—she wants love and togetherness.

Whether she’s laying her head on your lap, dashing around the yard with zoomies, or checking in on the kids while they sleep, Zena’s joy is contagious. She’s the kind of dog that reminds you how fun and heartwarming life with a Great Dane can be.

If Zena had a motto, it would be:
“Gimme a kiss!” 💋

Zena is currently thriving in her Rocky Mountain Great Dane Rescue foster home, where she fills every day with laughter, love, and a little bit of mischief. She’s learning, growing, and soaking up all the affection she can get — but what she really wants is a forever family to call her own.

If you’re ready for a fun, affectionate, and endlessly entertaining companion, Zena is ready to meet you. She’s got a heart full of love and is searching for the perfect home where she can shine. 💖🏡
