Xena - German Shepherd Dog Dog for Adoption in Chicago, Illinois

Meet Xena, a gorgeous, gentle girl who wins hearts everywhere she goes. She's sweet and calm, but also loves a little adventure - fetch, outdoor lounging, and belly rubs are her favorites. She's fully potty trained, crate trained, great on leash, and knows lots of commands.
Xena adjusts beautifully to new environments and matches the energy of the person she's with. She's been around crowds, kids, strollers, and busy markets with total ease. In her previous home she loved toys (especially Chuck-it balls), though shelter stress has made her a bit quieter here.
She's part of our special care program due to a minor eye injury that may need attention later, but it doesn't affect her vision or slow her down.
If you're looking for a loving, loyal, easygoing companion, Xena is ready to be your best friend. Xena is spending some much needed time in foster care!
