Hi, I'm Xena

About Xena

Xena is an all-black, all-natural female Doberman mix with a small stature weighing about 50 lbs.  Xena is 11 years young with the energy of a 3-year-old pup. 

She came in needing a lot of groceries and has put on some weight but still needs to gain several more pounds.  Xena is not pushy, aggressive, or mean in any way.  She came from a young family with very small children, other dogs, and cats.  Xena is great with children.  I had her around my 8-year-old granddaughter, who Xena followed everywhere.  She’s good with dogs and cats and has no food aggression. 

Xena minds her own business and loves her crate.  She rides well in the car.  She has started enjoying being outside in the wonderful weather that we have been having but when darkness comes around she doesn’t like to be outside.  She has to have a little coaching to go out for the last time at night.  She walks well on the leash and has no desire to be away from someone who she knows.  She loves attention and will follow you everywhere to get a small pat on the head or treat. 

Xena is house trained, crate trained.  Her previous owners didn’t have the money to give her vet care so since DARE has had her, she has been thru it all.  The vet techs love her and she is now UTD  on vaccines and spayed.  I’m sure she’s glad it’s all over with. 

Xena would be a good companion for another dog her size or smaller or would be great as an only dog or as a family dog.  She would be a wonderful companion for a single person who would like to take walks and enjoy the weather.   

A sweeter dog you will not find.
