Story
🐾 Meet Xena — A Smart, Snuggly Sweetheart with a Playful Side! 💕
Xena is a beautiful 1-year-old Border Collie/Whippet mix with a big heart, an athletic spirit, and so much love to give!
After raising her four puppies, this young mama is ready for her next adventure: finding a forever family where she can play, learn, cuddle, and finally be the one getting spoiled! ❤️
💕 Shy for Five Minutes, Your Best Friend Forever!
Xena might be a little bashful when meeting someone new, but her shyness usually disappears within three to five minutes. And if you've got treats? You might win her over even faster! 🥰
Once she's comfortable, Xena is incredibly affectionate and loves cuddles. In fact, her foster mom sometimes carries her around the house like a baby! 🤣 This sweet girl absolutely adores attention and being close to her favorite people.
🐶 A Friend to Dogs and Kids!
Xena loves children and gets along wonderfully with other dogs! She enjoys canine companionship and could make a fantastic playmate for another friendly pup.
While she'd likely do fine as an only dog with plenty of human companionship, she'd especially enjoy having another dog or someone around to keep her company.
Her compatibility with cats is still unknown. She's shown interest in a cat during a walk, and her foster mom has noticed that squirrels really get her attention! A cat-free home may be the safest choice until we know more.
🎾 Smart, Athletic & Ready for Adventure!
Xena is one smart cookie! She's food-motivated, eager to please, and very trainable. Her foster mom is excited to begin formal training with her, and Xena has all the enthusiasm needed to become a wonderful student.
She's also quite the athlete! Xena loves playtime and is still discovering just how much fun toys can be. With encouragement, games, and plenty of opportunities to run and explore, she's sure to keep her family entertained.
And if your backyard needs a dedicated squirrel patrol officer, Xena would be delighted to apply for the position! 🐿️👀
Although she has plenty of youthful energy, she settles down nicely after exercise. A home with a yard where she can run and play would be especially appealing to this active girl.
🏡 Learning Her Household Manners!
Xena is making progress with house training, although she's not quite 100% there yet. Accidents have become uncommon, and she's continuing to learn.
She's also working on kennel training. She can be kenneled in one of her foster environments but sometimes protests for a few minutes in another. Because she's a curious youngster who likes finding things to investigate, continued training, supervision, and a consistent routine will help her succeed.
💗 It's Mama Xena's Turn!
Xena has already done the hard work of raising four puppies. Now she's ready to enjoy everything life has to offer!
She's smart, affectionate, athletic, playful, dog-friendly, and wonderful with kids. Whether she's learning a new trick, patrolling the yard for squirrels, discovering a favorite toy, or snuggling up for some quality cuddle time, Xena has so much love and personality to share.
If you're looking for a fun-loving best friend who's equal parts adventure buddy and cuddle companion, Xena might just be your girl! 🐾❤️
