Story
Xena is a cutie. Well-behaved but can get into mischief if left alone for long periods. 5 years old but still acts like a puppy. She’s athletic and active and enjoys the dog park or going for walks. I listed as special needs because she has skin allergies and needs weekly baths to keep her skin healthy and happy.
