More about Xena

Xena is a lovely example of an American Bulldog and is looking for her new forever home.
She has lived in a home before so is used to a household routine – she loves nothing more than to lean in for a fuss with her bonded owners.

Xena is an active girl and will therefore need a garden where she can have some time off lead.
She does have a high chase drive and will chase birds, cats and squirrels. Because of this, she will need to be kept on lead in public places.

Xena has been able to socialise with a variety of dogs here at Battersea; however, she does sometimes struggle passing other dogs and can become frustrated, pulling and panting on her lead because she wants to say hello. As a result of this we have been doing some handler focus games using some high value treats and we would recommend this continues in her new forever home.

In Xena’s previous home she suffered from separation anxiety and would bark when left alone. As Xena spends time settling into her new home, we do recommend that she is not left in the home on her own, and if owners do have to leave her, we recommend having someone she knows to sit with her.

Xena loves her tennis balls and will like nothing more than playing with her new family in the garden. She knows a 'drop' and has no issues swapping her toys for a treat.

Xena is delightful girl and is looking for a peaceful and loving home where she can relax and show off her bubbly personality.
