Meet Reyna!
Reyna’s story is one of resilience, courage, and an absolutely unbreakable spirit.
At just 6 months old, Reyna was abandoned outside the NYC ACC—left tied up, alone, frightened, and in pain. When she was found, she had an untreated broken leg and was fighting parvo, a life-threatening illness that is especially dangerous for puppies. Somehow, through all of it, this little girl just kept fighting.
Thankfully, Reyna made a full recovery from parvo, but sadly, her injured leg could not be saved. Today, she is a happy, healthy tripod—and honestly, you might be surprised by just how fast and effortlessly this girl gets around. Losing a leg certainly didn't take away her determination to live life to the fullest.
Now one year old, Reyna is a feisty, funny, full-throttle little firecracker who is determined to get the absolute most out of every single day. She's a real-life Sour Patch Kid: a little sassy, a little sweet, and completely irresistible.
Reyna often goes zero to full speed in approximately 2.5 seconds—romping around, wrestling with her canine friends, chasing after toys, playing fetch, tugging, exploring, and generally making sure she doesn't miss a single moment of fun. She loves squeaky toys, bones, puzzle games, pretty much anything she can get her paws on. She's incredibly food motivated, and she's a smart, eager learner who is always ready to figure out what you're asking of her… especially if there's a tasty reward involved. She's also vocal and opinionated... like we said, a real life Sour Patch kid.
And then, as with many young pups, after giving life everything she's got, Reyna will crash spectacularly and decide that the only reasonable place to recover is curled up in your lap. She loves being close to her people. She'll squeeze herself into the tiniest little spot beside you on the couch or in bed, somehow convinced that her compact tripod body belongs in whatever six-inch space you've left available.
Reyna loves playing with other dogs and would thrive with a canine companion or two who enjoy her enthusiastic, rough-and-tumble play style. She'd also prefer a forever home where at least someone is home to keep her company during the day. But she doesn't need someone who will keep her busy every waking moment... A few good play sessions in the yard, some time with her dog friends, and plenty of time hanging out with her people is more than enough. Once she's gotten her zoomies out, she's perfectly happy to settle in and snuggle.
One of the best things about Reyna is her attitude. This little girl has already been through more in her first year of life than most dogs will ever experience. She could have let those experiences break her. Instead, she seems determined to squeeze every ounce of happiness out of every day.
Reyna isn't looking for anyone to feel sorry for her. She's looking for someone to live life with. Someone who will laugh at her antics, appreciate her big personality packed into a compact tripod body, let her be her wonderfully feisty self, and then happily make room in their lap when the inevitable crash comes.
In return, Reyna will give you everything she's got—her loyalty, her ridiculous personality, her endless affection, and enough laughter to fill your home.
She's a survivor. She's a fighter. And she's ready for the forever family who will love her exactly as she is.
If you're looking for a joyful, resilient, hilarious companion who is ready to make every day count, Reyna might just be your girl.
