Lena

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

We will open Lena to applications when she is back to full health and has passed her blood tests This gorgeous girl is Lena. She was found on the streets injured and sick. But she was also pregnant! Lena was taken into the care of Sand to Sofa and treated immediately for her wounds and illness. She is almost back to full health now but best of all she gave birth to seven beautiful puppies. Lena is 3 years old and is a happy friendly girl who we are hoping can travel to her forever home early in the new year. We will also be be looking for homes for the puppies later next year. Lena will be neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and blood tested before travelling to Scotland. Take a look at her photos below along with some of the puppies. Trigger warning, cuteness overload! D.O.B.: TBC (3 years old) Food Tested (Resource guarding): Not yet

About Lena

What life with Lena looks like

Lena is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Sand to Sofa Rescue in United Kingdom.

A young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Lena, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Lena?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Sand to Sofa Rescue handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Lena on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Lena if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Sand to Sofa Rescue will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Lena already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Lena isn't the right fit?: Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Sand to Sofa Rescue early rather than rehoming privately; they know Lena and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?: TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
