My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Are you on a mission to find an out-of-this-world pup to traipse across the galaxy with, fighting crime and saving lives?

Look no further- Xena "pretty-much-a-warrior-princess is here!
At approximately 1 year old, Xena is a hero in her own way! She has battled the hard fight of being a young outside dog that was underweight and unwell, and is now living on top of the world as a spoiled foster girl!

Once reserved from her past, Xena has chosen to not let her hardship define her and continues to come out of her shell, letting her true princess mentality shine! She has developed a lot of confidence from her foster sibling and would thrive in a house with fur siblings that would provide that same boost she needs to feel comfortable. It would also help Xena in understanding the rules and having someone to take those journeys with her as she springs to action!

As many warrior princesses are, Xena is young, energetic, and full of life. She LOVES to romp and play, and saving the world from evil injustice's is of course on her bucket list.

She is housebroken and does amazing with routine. With her being so young and new to her role as a warrior princess (WP), she is still in WP training and will require crating when not being actively supervised. The great thing is, she loves her crate and does phenomenal with a nice bone or frozen kong to keep her occupied as she plans her next quest.

If Xena sounds like the warrior princess you've been searching for, then apply for her here!
