Zena was a black lab who came to Journey's End at age 12. She had
been adopted by a man when she was only 8 weeks old and had lived with him her
whole life. He hit some hard times financially and was homeless, living in his
truck with his son and Zena. He finally found a shelter to move into
with his son, but the shelter wouldn't accept Zena, so he arranged for
her to come to Journey's End. He was heartbroken at having to part with
her, but he knew she had a good home here.
Zena seemed to adjust well and soon made friends with her roommates
Sheba,
Lola, and
Sara. She was easygoing and was
friendly if approached, but she wasn't very extroverted and would wait for people to come to her.
One night Zena was reluctant to come inside, and had to be coaxed in.
The next day, she was found unresponsive and soon passed away. She was
quite old, and the vet guessed it was probably due to heart, liver, or
kidney failure.
