Story
Xena, born 10/23/15, is a female mix weighing around 20 lbs who is housebroken/pee pad trained and crate trained. Xena loves attention and being with her people as their lap dog. Xena has had 3 weeks board and train with a trainer. The trainer is available for Xena's lifetime to help her adopter if needed. (if you are not local, he is available via Facetime) We do not recommend small children. She is as loyal as they come! She is quite happy with one person and does not need an active home. She would be best with someone who spends most of their time at home. Xena is dog neutral but would do best as the only dog in the home. We have not had her around cats, so cats are unknown.Xena's adoption fee is $150 She is fully vetted. If you want to meet Xena with hopes to make her part of your family, be sure to FIRST apply on our website for approval: https://www.theroadhomeanimalproject.org/companion-adoption-form-pdf.htmlYou can visit our website at theroadhomeanimalproject.org

Rocket is a male, born 5/18/24, Norwegian Elkhound/Poodle mix pup. He came to us as an owner surrender and is the sweetest boy! He was vet checked on intake and started his vaccines and deworming.
