My story

DOB: 4/02/2020Breed: Black Lab/Belgian Malinois mix -Spayed Female 61lbs-Microchipped & fully vaccinated.-Negative for heartworm & tick-borne diseases, and on a monthly preventative*Adoption Fee $300*A little bit about me… Made ya look! Hi, I’m Xyla. I’m a sweet, sharp girl who’s always looking for something to do and someone to love on! I’ve got tons of energy and drive, so I need a person who can help me focus all that excitement in the right direction. I walk really well on a leash, but I do get very reactive around other dogs, so I need an experienced, confident human who can guide me and take control. I come on very strong when meeting other dogs, so any future doggy friends will have to be selective and just the right fit. I love interactive toys, puzzles, and anything that keeps my brain busy. I’ll thrive in a home that keeps me mentally and physically active. If you’re looking for a smart, active, and affectionate partner and you’ve got the experience to match my energy, come meet me!The highlights…-Very leash reactive-I am stronger than I look -I love people-I’ll make sure to keep you upbeat and activeKey points to know…-Commit to daily mental and physical exercise: High drive dogs need structured outlets for their energy.-Use positive, consistent training methods: Leash reactivity can improve with reward based training and desensitization.-Set up for success, not stress: Avoid busy dog-heavy areas at first, and use tools like front-clip harnesses or head halters for safety. Advocate for your dog by maintaining space and avoiding unexpected greetings.
