MY HISTORY

Xena has been a well loved dog and has been with one owner her whole life. Due to unforseen circumstances, she is looking for a new home.

ABOUT XENA

Hi, I’m Xena! Pleased to meet you!

I’m a spoilt lady and my favourite food is steak for dinner! I am also bilingual and can respond to commands in two different languages!

I’m a very active and fit girl, I love going out for walks and playing with tug toys!

I’ve never lived with children, but I am gentle with children who may wish to say hello to me whilst I’m out. Because I haven’t lived with kids, I am looking for a home where any children are 12+ as I am used to quieter homes and being the centre of my owners world.

I am used to being left for reasonable periods of time with no seperation issues.

I can be anxious in the car as I am not really used to car travel.

I am very treat oriented and will sit and paw for food!

I would love to find a special home who can love me as much as I am currently loved right now!

MY TEMPERAMENT WITH OTHER DOGS

I will walk past other dogs politely and can also stop for a sniff and a hello. I am an on lead dog unless in quieter areas. For example, a private and secure field. I can be strong on lead.

TYPE OF HOME NEEDED

I am looking for:

• A forever home
• A pet free home
• I can live with kids 12+

Do you have a home for Xena?

We are looking for foster families and adoptive families.

We do ask foster homes to be within an hour’s drive of Bournemouth foster homes will be expected to drive back to our vets in Bournemouth and to meet with prospective new homes.

We rehome to adoptive families within a 2 hour driving radius of Bournemouth. (maximum 2hrs,20 minutes for the perfect applicant willing to travel) Please DO NOT ask if we make exceptions further and look at other rescues covering your area if we do not.

A home check and a vet check is required, with a £250 adoption fee (or £400 for puppy adoption under 1 year), which contributes partially to kennel fees, vaccinations, microchipping, spay/neutering, flea/worming treatment and other veterinary costs. This adoption fee will contribute to the care of all our dogs.

We have a thorough rehoming programme to prepare you and your dog for each other. We also offer help and support for you both in the future. Learn about responsible ownership or contact us if you have any questions.
