🌟 Meet Xena, the dazzling diamond in the rough! She didn’t come strutting into the world with a wagging tail or a big ol’ grin. No, my friends, this lovely creature arrived at the Animal Aid Society from an overcrowded shelter, filled with uncertainties about people, noises, and the big, sprawling world outside. At first, she was a quiet little shadow, trying her best not to be seen. But let me tell you, shadows like Xena don’t stay shadows forever!🌈 Now, Xena is embracing her journey of transformation! You should see her when it’s time to leave her run; she doesn’t just step out, oh no! She bursts forth with all the energy and enthusiasm of a popper firework! 🎇 Weighing in at 29 pounds of sheer joy, this girl’s limbs go flying in all directions (she’s only got four, but who needs physics when you’re this adorable?). And if you get lucky, a spontaneous drive-by smile and nose boop might just come your way! 😄💖 Xena is just bursting with affection and wants to love humans with all her might! She’s like a little kid learning how to swim—still figuring out that the world can be safe, and every day she checks in with her humans, her sparkle becoming brighter as the days go by. With a little patience and a gentle routine, she will shower you with loyalty, laughter, and tail-thumping triumphs that will fill your home with joy. 🐾✨ But here’s the scoop: the big wide world can still feel a bit overwhelming for Xena. She needs a home with a securely fenced yard where she can practice her confidence without worrying about busy streets or unexpected noises. 🏡🎉 She’s making progress, and she just needs someone who can celebrate those small victories alongside her. Oh, and let’s not shy away from the fact that Xena is heartworm-positive. But here’s the silver lining—Animal Aid Society will cover all the treatment costs, even after she's snuggled up in your home! Johnnie on the spot to make sure her potential family can help her transition into a forever home without added burdens. 🩺💖 So, why wait? Come meet Xena and fall head over heels for her unpolished magic! She’s looking for that special someone to be her sunshine because let me tell you, shadows will not remain shadows when the light finally shines on them! To adopt Xena, you must apply through the Buddy App. She’s ready to find her family now—are you ready for the adventure of a lifetime?
