About Xena

Meet Xena, an adventurous and spirited German Shepherd mix who is all about loyalty and fun. At just six months old, she’s still growing—and so are her famously big ears and that puppy exuberance. Xena’s a quick learner with the classic shepherd blend of intelligence and devotion, plus a whole lot of playful confidence. Always up for action, she gets excited the minute she sees her people. Whether heading out for a long walk, dashing around the yard, or sticking close to your side around the house, Xena lives to be with you. Her natural shepherd instincts are already on display—she shadows her human and wants to know what you’re up to. She’s incredibly loyal and focused on her people. She gets along well with other dogs and is making solid progress with house training, learning basic commands, and walking on a leash. Xena settles quietly in her kennel when you’re not around, but be ready for lots of tail wags and energy as soon as you return. She’ll need a home with plenty to do and someone excited to keep her mind and body busy—structure and activity will bring out her best. Once Xena is spayed and has her vaccinations up to date, she’ll be ready for her next chapter. If you’re looking for a smart, devoted partner and lifelong companion, Xena is ready to join you.
