About Xena

Xena is a big, energetic American Bulldog with a strong, playful streak. She came to the shelter when her previous owner could no longer look after her, but she hasn’t lost her love for people—she gravitates toward anyone willing to spend time with her and will happily settle in for a good cuddle. Fetch is truly her game of choice; she'll keep the ball flying long after you’re ready to call it quits. While Xena is polite with other dogs on walks and out in the world, she’s clearest when it comes to her preference at home: she wants to be your one and only dog. Her leash manners are solid, but her true joy is the unbridled sprint after a thrown toy. Her last home included children, and while she can be gentle, she’s best suited to families with older kids simply due to her size and enthusiasm—it’s easy for smaller children to get swept up. Born September 11, Xena falls under the sign of Virgo. Make no mistake: she’ll keep you busy and entertained, and she’s ready for her second chance. Ready to fall in love?
