Xena

(DOB 11/02/2025) 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).<br/><br/>Xena is looking for a loving, engaged home with lots and lots of time for training, play, exercise, and adventure. 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, but if you do have the time, she will reward you with endless joy and laughter.<br/><br/>A fenced yard is required for romping and zoomies, and plenty of play and activity time with her family. Speaking of which, Xena loves car rides and is always ready to hop in and tag along wherever life takes you. 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; long stretches alone or crated just aren't appropriate for her age.<br/><br/>Classic puppy traits? Oh yes!! Xena checks all the boxes. 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.<br/><br/>Young puppies are wonderfully adaptable and often take cues from the pets already in the home. For this reason, we do require at least one other playful and confident dog in the home for Xena to bond, play, learn, and grow up with! This social butterfly loves playing with puppy pals and definitely wants another playful dog in her forever home. Taking her to doggie day camp and/or puppy socialization classes would be great activities for her as well.<br/><br/>Kitties and kiddos you ask??? With gentle introductions and a cat that is open to adjusting, puppies typically do very well living with feline friends. She is kid-friendly, but older kids are best since she's teething and can jump or nip when excitement takes over. We definitely wouldn't want her baby shark teeth meeting tiny fingers or accidentally knocking over a little one. 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.<br/><br/>If you've got the time, energy, patience, devotion, and sense of humor required for puppy life, and you're ready for a lifetime commitment then Xena just might be your paw-fect match.<br/><br/>As part of Xena's $325 adoption fee, she will be spayed, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and current on her monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives. In addition to the adoption fee, a $100 spay/neuter deposit and puppy spay/neuter agreement will also be required. The deposit will be returned once the puppy is altered. If you have questions about this sweet girl, you can email: Dogteam@pawsforlifenc.org. If you wish to adopt Xena, you can complete an application online for her under the Adopt a Pet Tab on our website: www.pawsforlifenc.org.
