Xena (On Trial 2/6/13)

Introducing Xena, a charming little Staffy, roughly 8 years old. She does not require long vigorous walks but enjoys moderate walks (not runs). She would be suitable for retired person/couple who could spend time with her. She is a quiet girl. She ignores cats and is friendly with other dogs but doesn’t want to play and run with them. She doesn’t like dogs standing over her.

She rarely barks and is well trained but has a mind of her own. She is an inside dog and loves being close to you but is not demanding of your attention. She likes her bed and needs to stay inside at night.

She is a very good eater and may develop a weight problem if you don't control her food. She eats everything but in particular she likes fruit like mango, banana and fresh figs. At times she may decide to go for a walk by herself so she needs to be in a well fenced area and people need to be careful when opening doors and gates.

Xena has beautiful and loving nature and is dreaming of a permanent home. She'd be an ideal companion for someone who doesn't want a dog that requires lots of walking. Xena is just great company and a joy to have around.
