Laken, a tan purebred German Pinscher, with her friend Marina have overcome heartbreaking circumstances. These bonded sisters from different mothers, estimated to be around 3–4 years old, were overbred and then cruelly abandoned in a local shelter, emaciated, with poor coats and desperately underweight.
Thankfully, a kind shelter worker stepped in, taking them home and giving them the care they desperately needed. After being vetted, spayed, and nursed back to health, these two beautiful souls are now ready for the next chapter of their lives.
Laken, on the other hand, is shy and hesitant, taking her cues from Marina’s bold personality. Together, they balance each other perfectly and provide one another with comfort and security.
These two amazing girls love other dogs—and even cats! Laken and Marina are ready to live their best lives, and they deserve nothing less. Apply today and help give them the forever home they’ve been waiting for.
