About Xena

Xena is a gentle and affectionate girl who is looking for a loving family to care for her. Previously known as Azucar, she carries a sweet nature and would thrive in a nurturing environment. Xena is diabetic and needs twice-daily insulin injections, making her adoption a special case. She once lived with kids, large and small dogs, and even cats, and she tends to get along well with them. At the shelter, Xena has shown herself to be calm and polite. She walks nicely on a leash and appreciates affection, though she might be slightly shy at first. Her previous caregiver describes her as smart and responsive to commands; Xena learns quickly and enjoys being close to people. She is house trained but needs to go out more often due to her diabetes. While staying in her crate at night, she handles it well but does need access to the outdoors during the night. If you have the love to give and can commit to her medical needs, Xena could be the perfect companion. Be prepared to provide her the care she deserves, and you’ll find that Xena will return your affection tenfold. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
