Xena
German Shepherd
Xena is a loyal and protective nearly 5-year-old German Shepherd who has been part of a busy family with children. She is okay with cats under supervision, can be food dominant, and is naturally wary of visitors making her a good guard dog. She is a reactive and nervous dog around other dogs and would best suit an experienced owner in a calm home with no other dogs.
In the care of West Cork Animal Welfare Group, Cork.
