Meet Xzyna – Your Holiday Head-Turner!  

Looking for a big, beautiful bundle of joy to make your season bright? Xzyna is a 10-month-old English Mastiff/St. Bernard mix with a luxurious coat and a blocky head that could star in a doggy fashion magazine. She’s basically the canine equivalent of a luxury SUV—large, gorgeous, and full of fun!

The Highlights:

  • Age: 10 months (still rocking that puppy brain!)

  • Size: Huge body, even bigger heart

  • Skills: Crate trained, housebroken, and walks well on leash… until she doesn’t (formal training will make her a superstar!)

  • Social: Cat-friendly, loves other dogs, and would adore a furry sibling to play with

  • Personality: Affectionate leaner, world-class cuddler, and owner of the cutest tail wag you’ve ever seen

  • Energy: Short bursts of play, then snooze mode (yes, she snores!)

  • Hobbies: Tug-of-war, chewing toys, swimming, and barking at strangers outside the window like a home security system

Quirks to Know:

  • Slightly wary of adult strangers at first, but warms up with time and trust
  • Will chase cars on leash (training needed!)
  • Barks at visitors but shows no signs of aggression—just her way of saying, “I’m watching you!”
  • Food motivated (great for training!)
  • Needs an experienced owner who understands “giant dog + puppy brain” dynamics
  • Best in a home with a fenced yard and no frail humans

Why She’s a Hot Commodity:

Xzyna is the perfect mix of majestic and goofy—a dog who will lean on you like you’re her favorite pillow and wag her tail like she’s auditioning for a holiday commercial. She’s healthy, happy, and ready to make your Christmas unforgettable.

If you’ve got the space, the experience, and the love, Xzyna is your dream dog. Adopt her today and make this holiday season magical!
