About Oxana

Meet Oxana, a large, sweet Kangal/Anatolian Shepherd. She has a wonderful temperament with people, but can be a bit of a diva when it comes to asserting her place in the home—she likes to be the boss. While she's had fun playing with other dogs before, this strong personality may lead to disagreements. Oxana is fully potty trained and keeps her kennel tidy, though she does shed quite a bit! In her past, she likely served as a livestock guardian, and she wouldn’t mind returning to a similar role if you're looking for a working companion. If Oxana sounds like your perfect match, come meet her today!
