About Xena

Xena is a tiny warrior princess (and growing fast!), she is a professional toy enthusiast, and a full-time bundle of puppy chaos and love! This silly, happy girl is bursting with personality and is ready to take on the world (one squeaky toy at a time). She’s playful, happy, energetic, and completely obsessed with attention. Belly rubs? Yes please. Pets? Absolutely. Squeaker toys, chew toys, stuffed toys? All of them. At the end of a busy day, she sleeps in a cozy makeshift kennel with her siblings and recharges for tomorrow's adventures.

Ideal Home

Xena is looking for a loving, engaged home with lots and lots of time for training, play, exercise, and adventure. A fenced yard is required for romping and zoomies, and plenty of play and activity time with her family. Because she's still very young, she needs someone home for a good portion of the day to help with potty training, playtime, and outings. We do require at least one other playful and confident dog in the home for Xena to bond, play, learn, and grow up with! She is kid-friendly, but older kids are best since she's teething and can jump or nip when excitement takes over.

Ongoing Health

Xena will be spayed, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and current on her monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives.

Training & Support

Positive-reinforcement training, daily walks, puppy playtime, and introductions (minimum weekly prefer daily) to new sights, sounds, and places are a must. If your schedule doesn't allow for hands-on puppy life, Xena may not be the right match. Taking her to doggie day camp and/or puppy socialization classes would be great activities for her as well. Puppies are still learning about the world and can be bouncy, mouthy, and full of joyful energy. With loving adult supervision at all times, puppies and children can learn to grow together safely and happily.
