Hello there, future paw-rent! My name is Xena, but they also call me "Brandy" at the shelter. You see, I've had a bit of a rough start in life, but I'm ready to find my forever home, and I'm speaking to you directly from my heart.
Shelter life can be a bit overwhelming, and it took me some time to adjust. At first, I might seem a bit jumpy when we meet, but don't let that discourage you. I've come a long way since my first day here, and I've got a lot of love to give.
One of my absolute favorite things is going for walks. There's something about exploring the world and feeling the wind on my fur that brings me so much joy. While I adore these outings, I do have to admit that I can be a bit dog-aggressive towards my fellow canines. It's just that I need a little time and maybe a few meet-and-greets with someone who's willing to be patient and understanding as I work on my social skills.
Trust is a big deal for me, but once I build that bond, I promise I'm a great dog. I'm a big fan of treats, and they're an excellent way to win me over and reward me for my progress.
I did have some trust issues with leads when I first arrived, but I've improved a lot. Now, I can get on my lead without any trouble, and I'm ready to embark on adventures with you. When you see me wagging my tail and flashing my sweetest smiles, you'll know that I'm truly opening up and feeling happy.
I'm still a little jumpy when it comes to being pet, but I'm determined to overcome this. With your patience and love, I believe we can work through it together.
So, if you're willing to invest some time and patience into helping me build trust, I promise I'll be the most loyal and loving companion you could ever ask for. Let's embark on this journey together, one treat at a time. If you're up for the challenge, I'm ready to be your loyal Brandy. Please consider giving me a chance to be your faithful four-legged friend.
