My name is
Xena!

Xena is a bright, perceptive austrailian kelpie/shepherd  mix, we think!   Agile, she can climb a chain link fence, out of curiosity, and go exploring but ideally she wants you near so she can  be your loyal companion.  A wooden privacy fence would be ideal, but not required if you want to make her part of your pack.  Great on a leash and very affectionate, we think Xena will do best with someone who understands the breed and has experience with intelligent, inquisitive dogs with some  herding instincts, to keep her happy.  She currently spends her days in a 4x10 kennel with very little time out, at our local animal control.  She loves playing with other dogs especially male dogs, but  settles after play time and enjoys  affection and chilling with you.  She is truly a delightful character to behold and these pictures don't do her justice. She is much smaller than she looks, at 42lbs.  She is also house trained and estimated to be around 3-4yo.     Currrent on shots, spayed,  and microchipped, she is ready to join your family!   The perfect dog to keep you company and keep you healthy as a walking buddy!    To make  Xena part of your pack,  apply to adopt her at buttsmutts.com.
