A couple of weeks ago we took in several Cocker Spaniels/Cock-a-poos who had been used for breeding. They are now retired and ready to live the good life as a family pet. Xena is one of these beautiful girls.
Xena is the sweetest 10 year old lady! Despite her previous living situation, she has taken to living in a home quite well. She absolutely loves getting petted and receiving attention. She has great manners and will walk to the door when she needs to go out. As you can see, Xena is a bit overweight, so she will need an active adopter. Someone who can walk her daily and encourage regular exercise. For a dog that has probably never been on a leash, she does very well. She loves going for walks and checking out the scenery. If she feels you walking too slow for her, she does give a little tug to speed up.
She is currently around dogs of all sizes and does very well. She does prefer that male dogs give her space sometimes. She doesn't overreact, but she does let them know. She does great around kids as well. Xena will go in a crate but doesn't really need one.
She has been spayed, micro-chipped and is up to date on vaccinations. She did test positive for heartworms so we have started her on medication. She can continue the medication in her new home which is covered by Homes Fur Hounds.
If you are interested in giving this sweet girl a loving home her application can be found at www.homesfurhounds.org. She is located in Williamsburg, Va.

More about this rescue
Homes Fur Hounds Inc. was formed to help the overwhelming number of animals that are abandoned, surrendered to county agencies and simply unwanted. These animals are facing death due to no fault of their own other than not being convenient. Our mission is to help stop the unnecessary killing of animals. Thousands of animals are put to sleep (some more humanely than others) every day. We strive to educate the public on the importance of spaying, neutering, heartworm preventive and general health care. We also strive to help owners who are experiencing difficulties with their pet find solutions to their problems. By helping them find solutions we keep the animals out of the county pounds and from being abandoned. It is our policy to adopt out only healthy dogs and to do our best to know and understand what type of home the dog needs. We are always striving to find that “forever home” for the animals.
