Xeni

Everyone please meet Xeni! This sweet girl is a 7 month anatolian shepherd mix weighing around 50 pounds. She came to us with some other pups when she was so rudely dumped on some random stranger's property. Luckily, she knows things can only go up from here and she is ready to begin her new life with her furever family! Despite Xeni's poor upbringing, this girl has a zest for life! Staying true to her puppy nature, Xeni has an abundance of energy! Because of this, a physically fenced yard and an active family would be beneficial for this girl so she can expend her energy! A furry friend would also be a plus! Because Xeni is still a puppy and her background is unknown, her adopter is going to have to be dedicated to continuing her socialization and training so she can bloom into the best girl that she can be! Xeni is both dog and cat friendly but because of her size and energy, she would do best with more sturdy kids in the house! Because of Xeni's energy, you will never be bored and this girl will keep you on your toes! She'll make you laugh even on your saddest of days, and she'll force you out of bed and remind you to enjoy the little things in life. Eating (oh woops I meant sniffing!) the flowers never hurt anyone! If you are looking for a pup to be your best friend and companion, and you think Xeni may be your girl, please apply online, at https://bigfluffydogs.com/adopt/adoption-application/ and email [email protected]! ___________________________________________________________________________________ Our main website, www.bigfluffydogs.com has more information about us and the rescue process. NOTE TO EMAILERS FROM PETFINDER: WE DO NOT RESPOND TO EMAIL INQUIRIES WITHOUT AN APPLICATION. WE REGRET WE CANNOT RESPOND TO EVERY EMAIL, BUT UNLESS YOU FILL OUT AN APPLICATION, WE DO NOT KNOW YOU EXIST. All known information about an individual dog is provided in its listing. We do our best to provide accurate information, but adopters should understand that each home is different and the dog may behave differently in a new home. Dogs are creatures of their environment and you help make the dog what it will be. Homes considering adopting a puppy must be prepared for 1.) Flexible schedules for potty training. Puppies can only hold it for one hour per month of age (i.e. a 4-month-old puppy can only go 4 hours without a potty break). 2.) Crate training until the puppy is at least one year old to prevent chewing on inappropriate things when you can't supervise. 3.) Socialization. The more positive and varying experiences as a puppy the better, both in and out of your home. 4.) Puppy behavior and life stages are equivalent to a human toddler. It takes at least a full year to have a calmer, well-adjusted dog. Patience is required and when your dog's behavior is a positive experience for you and those around you, your patience will be rewarded ten-fold, for years to come. Please do not consider adopting a puppy if you have not thoroughly thought through the pros and cons of having one. So many people end up returning them after 3-5 months because they didn't realize the amount of work involved in raising a puppy. Patience, appropriate toys, socialization, and obedience training are all musts. All are time-consuming and can be expensive. All dogs require supervision with children and obedience training. Adopters that want to have good dogs must be prepared to put the time and effort into training a dog. Any dog requires work and effort, but a well trained, well-socialized dog is more than worth the effort to get them there.
