Description
Her story :
Elena is a kind and tender little soul who once stood on the edge of losing everything.
She was rescued from a public / kill shelter - where her time had run out.
Yet even there, behind those cold bars, she never lost her gentle spirit.
Now, safe and hopeful, she’s waiting for a loving family who will finally show her what love truly means and let her discover that life can be beautiful again.

🏷 Possible mix: Shiba Inu with Welsh Corgi influences and some local genetics
Looks & charm
Elena is a beautiful, expressive girl with soft eyes that reflect her gentle heart.
Her compact build, smooth coat and charming, fox-like features make her truly special.
But it’s her tender, affectionate personality that wins everyone over – she radiates warmth and kindness in everything she does.
Character :
Elena is affectionate, sweet and loving. She adores human attention and gets along beautifully with other dogs. Calm, social and balanced by nature, she has that perfect medium energy level – active and curious when it’s time to go out, peaceful and relaxed when it’s time to rest.
She’s adaptable and easy to have around, a dog who will quickly learn the rhythm of family life and repay every bit of love with quiet devotion.
Ideal home
Elena would thrive in a warm, loving home where she can finally feel she belongs.
A safe, dog-proof garden with secure fencing and gates would be ideal – she loves being outdoors, exploring and enjoying the fresh air in safety.
She’s not the kind of dog who would enjoy being left alone for long working days, waiting for just one short walk in the evening.
Her perfect home would be with people who have time to share life with her - for example, adopters with alternating work schedules, someone who works from home, or retirees.
The company of another gentle dog could be a lovely bonus for her, though it’s not essential if her adopters themselves have enough time and affection to give.
💛 Elena is a little ray of sunshine – a dog whose kind heart and soft presence bring warmth wherever she goes.
Whoever opens their home to her will gain a grateful, loyal friend for life.
We’ve had Elena fully vaccinated and spayed.
Friends InDeed is a registered Charity.
Home-Check (even done online, at times) is mandatory.
We do NOT supply dogs to non-genuine Dog-Loving people. There are all kind out there... can’t be too careful !
You must have your own garden and no children under 10 years old to adopt a dog from our rescue.
We do not supply work, assistance or service dogs, regardless of what noble/moral it would be ! The dog you adopt from our organisation will reside as a PET in your Home and will be well looked-after and loved !
Should you adopt ELENA, you will also agree to keep in touch with us for years to come and you will have our Rescue Backup.
Our preferred method of contact is over the phone or WhatsApp - as we work during the day, with limited access to emails ; it is also more expedient - we can exchange most information in one go.
We are a 100% genuine and transparent Rescue and are doing substantial efforts to save these lives. We reserve the right to ask any / different price / donation for our rescue dogs - depending on circumstances. In most cases, we are not covering the costs !
We keep in touch with all adopters (more than 500 families, so far). On request, we can obtain & provide good references from any of them.
We receive a high number of pointless messages or calls and we do not afford wasting time…
Therefore, Please, Please - NO TIMEWASTERS !
Thank You !
