Backstory:
Ximena was found in an extremely poor house in a small town in México. This house is located near the rescue shelter and often the rescuers find puppies in need. In this case, Ximena was found at 3 months-old laying in the street, lost, crying. She was found by one of our rescuers and brought her home (to our shelter).
One thing about people (in México) is that they found Ximena ‘’ugly looking’’ as she grew up as she is a bigger girl and black in colour (black dog syndrome).
