Xena the Dog needs a home

Adopting A Shelter Dog



These dogs come without background histories/ past medical information. We present these dogs as we have observed in relationship to age, size, breed, behavior, housebreaking, crate training, good with children, cats, dogs, and strangers. Dogs may present themselves differently in different environments, therefore The Dog Spot Rescue, their agents, volunteers, can not guarantee behavior, age, size expectations, breed, house Training, destructive behavior tendencies, and/or medical issues. All dogs from shelters have been subjected to pathogens from the shelter level which can materialize into disease in the future.  Each adopter must observe for themselves pre-adoption and make decisions for themselves the suitability of said dog and their tolerance levels for transitional time when adopting a shelter dog.  We ask that each adopter take their time when making the choice to bring home a rescued dog.

Xwna is A beautiful and unique looking girl. While we can’t say for sure what her breeds are, we think she may have husky, Akita, border collie etc. and her. She is about 2 years old.She is an active and powerful girl.  She loves attention and belly rubs and would be a great jogging partner. She gets along well with the large dogs and does not care about the small dogs running around her. We feel she would be best placed in a home with bigger dogs though as she may be a little too much for a small dog. We do not feel she would be good with cats.  Xena came to us from a small high kill shelter in central California. She was owned by a police officer and his familywith several other dogs turn them all in when he got sick of taking care of them.  Xena  is a very loving and exuberant girl who could use some manners but has a good heart and will make a wonderful companion. She Was reported to be housebroken but we have not tested her. She is crate trained and walks on a leash though is not heel  trained and will pull some. Once  she has her exercise and activity, she actually does mellow out pretty well.

Your Adoption Fee covers the following expenses: Spay/Neuter, DHLPP, Bordatella, Rabies (if age appropriate), De-worming and Frontline/Advantage



Please Note: Shelter/rescue dogs have been exposed to many pathogens such as kennel cough, parasites, diseases and conditions some of which may not have been discovered prior to adoption. Any dog that shows symptoms here at TDS are routinely identified, taken for tests and treatment. Our vet bills can exceed $10,000 a month. However, without symptoms, we may miss a disease, or pre-existing condition or parasite. Consider carefully if you have the tolerance for these possibilities. We consider, you, the adopters, the last leg of the rescue process.
