Xena is very much house broken and never has accidents. When using the bathroom outside she will go on the grass or cement. When left alone in the house she is well behaved. She has never been left in the yard due to the fact her previous owner never had one. Xena has never been crated so it is unknown how she will react. Xena knows how to sit, stay and come when called. She is used to brisk walks on the leash. When off the leash she will wander but comes back when called.

A volunteer writes: Sweet, gentle, pretty little Xena the warrior princess! Xena the senior is gentle, calm, and laidback, very easy to walk on a leash, and loves her people. When I first met Xena, she wasn’t sure if she was that into me– sniffing the treat I offered her and turning up her nose. But about 2 minutes later, she was wagging her tail and eating out of my hand (literally!). Xena was even standing up on her hind legs and gently pawing me for attention. Xena’s sweet grey face and gentle paws are looking for a nice, comfy couch to chill out on. Could it be yours? Please come and meet her at the Brooklyn ACC today!
