🌟 Say hello to Xena, the delightfully snuggly pup that’s ready to steal your heart! Xena is a vibrant and playful Lab mix, likely with some shepherd in her, and she’s about 5-5.5 months old. At only around 20 lbs as of December 31, 2024, she’s expected to grow into a lovely companion around 35 to 40 lbs when fully grown. 🌈 Xena’s story began on the streets, where she was rescued from a mom who’d had several litters. Talk about a survivor! She's already experienced home life in her foster home, and oh boy, does she know how to make the most of it! Her foster describes her as "the cuddliest" among her siblings, always up for a cozy cuddle session, showering her humans with affection, and keeping them in good spirits. 🥰 When she senses someone’s mood dipping, she’s right there as the ultimate furry therapist, bringing joy to everyone around her! But wait, there’s more! Xena is not just about cuddles; she loves her four-legged friends too! Her foster has dogs of all shapes and sizes, and Xena plays well with all of them. Whether it's running around with her siblings or getting into some toy mischief, Xena shows her playful side every day! 🎾 Anyone can see that she has a heart of gold, and she would make a wonderful companion for kids too! 🌼 Now, sweet Xena is doing well with house training, though she’s still a puppy. Adopters should prepare to establish a new routine, with a little patience and consistency, but that’s all part of the adventure, isn’t it? Xena is located in Puerto Rico but will travel to NY/NJ once she finds her forever home. The team is dedicated to finding her just the right fit, so make sure you are ready for a commitment that includes plenty of love, exercise, and quality time! After applying, you can have a virtual meet-and-greet with Xena and her foster to see if the bond is there. Think you're ready for this bundle of joy?
