Xenon

Hello, my name is Xenon. My animal id is #30322. I am a desexed female brown brindle dog at the . The shelter thinks I am about 4 years 2 weeks old.

I came into the shelter as a stray on 6/5/2018.

Someone has already placed a deposit on me. I'm no longer available.

Xenon is at risk due to being diagnosed with Canine Infection Respiratory Disease Complex and will likely require home rest and a series of antibiotics for up to 14 days. This is a contagious illness to other dogs. There are no behavioral concerns for Xenon at this point and she can go home with an Average dog Parent.

Let's get to know each other a bit more...

A volunteer writes: Xenon is an elegant lady who is extremely well mannered- an overall dream dog! Leashing her and leaving the center was a breeze and she stayed by my side the whole walk! She would sniff curiously at passing dogs with a wagging tail and continued past quite lady-like. At the park she was so excited to see grass she rolled right over and happily accepted my belly rubs. She has an irresistible brindled coat with little white-sock paws and loves pets and cuddles. Xenon simply exudes a calm, gentle energy that is infectious and made me want to rest in the grass with her! Xenon will certainly help you find your own Zen in life! If you're looking for a gentle, sweet, laid back lady, Xenon is the girl for you!
