PET OF THE WEEK: Meet Xena, a playful girl who loves tummy rubs

Humane Society of West Alabama: 

Xena is about a year and a half old, and is a medium-sized dog who weights in at just over 40 pounds. This energetic girl is plenty playful, friendly and sweet, and she loves being outside in the yard — she even plays fetch with herself. She loves being around people, and her main goal is seeking out tummy rubs.

Xena would make an excellent adventuring companion, and any water activity is a major plus. She's super-smart and learns quickly, especially if treats are involved, and would make a great family dog for anyone with older children. She's done well with other dogs so far and tends to be timid when playing with others.

If you're interested in Xena or any other animals at the Humane Society of West Alabama, please email humaneswa@yahoo.com or leave a message at 205-554-0011.

Xena is the Pet of the Week for Aug. 13, 2023.
