Meet Ximera! 💕🐾 If you’re looking for a sweet, gentle girl with a heart of gold, Ximera may be your girl! This beautiful pup has been nothing but sweet and loving so far. Every time I walk her, she’s happy, smiley, and clearly thrilled to spend time with her people. 🥰 Ximera has a *mild energy level* and seems calmer than many of the heelers I’ve met. She does have a playful side—during her dog testing, she seemed interested in playing and being around another dog. Her first playmate was a little too much for her, and she became overwhelmed, but she tolerated him well. She seems genuinely interested in canine companionship and may enjoy having a dog friend who matches her energy and play style. She does like to jump up to say hello, but overall, she has been a wonderfully sweet and manageable girl. She’s still getting to know the world and would benefit from a patient family who can continue helping her learn and feel comfortable. We’re not sure how Ximera feels about cats just yet. She did have a pretty intense stare-down with a feral cat, and her interest appeared more prey-driven, so a cat-free home may be the safest fit unless proper introductions and management are possible. Ximera also has some kennel-related potty struggles, so her adopter should be prepared to continue working on her house-training routine. Most importantly, Ximera is *VERY, VERY SWEET*. ❤️ She has such a happy face and a gentle spirit, and she deserves someone who will give her the chance to blossom into the wonderful companion she can be. Come meet Ximera and let that smile steal your heart! 🐶💕
