XENA

XENA is approx a 2 1/2 to 3 year old purebread German Shepherd She’s slender … only approx 60 lbs After spending time with her, we think she may have come from a puppy mill.....or a backyard breeder, both which cause over-breeding In spite of everything she has been through She still has a JOY for life! She is very sweet and loves people She’s very obedient and goes right into her dog run on her own ….we don’t even have to ask…. Her re-call is excellent… she comes immediately when you call her She’s very fun and playful, loves to run around in the back yard and play ball She’s an excellent and alert watch dog so will help keep her family safe.. She is NOT an escape artist and has never escaped once! She is NOT food aggressive even though she has a digestive issue This is pretty amazing….! QUIRKS Xena does have some "high anxiety" going on but who can blame her as this has been hard on her, she’s lost her home and family and has been in a Rescue for over 2 years If we can get her into a stable home, this will get better …..! Her family life included 2 young children who she loved and was very good with but because she's high energy and active older kids 8 or above is recommended She's dominant with other dogs especially small ones so we have to recommend that she go to a home with no other animals which makes it harder but still very possible She DOES have EPI a digestive condition....(common to German Shepherds) While it can be serious once it’s diagnosed it’s very manageable She is on a special diet so she's stable however this IS a life time thing.....she will always have it but it’s just managing her diet Her DIET: she's on No-Grain dry food with Pantenex powder, B-12 and pumpkin and Fruitables treats, that's the only kind she should have! She just needs a home with someone who has the time and patience to handle a special needs dog but it’s also a very rewarding journey....!
