Xinnia

Everyone please meet Xinnia! Xinnia is a 7 month old Anatolian Shepherd mix who came to use after being dumped on a stranger's property with nine other pups. Despite that unfortunate start to life, Xinnia has put the past behind her and is ready to start her new chapter with her furever people! To put it simply, Xinnia loves life and because of that she tends to be on the higher energy side in terms of wanting to be everywhere and with everyone at all times which can be compared to having a short attention span and jumping from one fun thing to another! Because of this, Xinnia would love a physically fenced yard where she can befriend the squirrels while sniffing the grass and finding a tennis ball she may have lost months ago due to her excitement taking her elsewhere! Xinnia is both dog and cat friendly, but because of her zest for life, she would do best with sturdy children who can handle a high energy pup! She would do best in a home with adopters who are willing to exercise her whether that be through going for a nice jog, or hiking through the woods, or taking her with you on adventures to the brewery or winery! If you're there, Xinnia would love to be there also! Because Xinnia is still a young puppy with an unknown background, her adopters are going to have to be dedicated to continuing her training and socialization so she can become the goodest girl there ever was!

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.
