Xena

Cane Corso · Female · Young · 3 years

Xena could live with children aged 10+. She could live with another dog and possibly cats or other small animals, though we have no history of whether she has met such animals before Xena is a gorgeous girl with a wonderful nature and a personality to match! She is super friendly, people-orientated and absolutely loves spending time with her humans. She enjoys attention, tasty treats and getting out and about, and has been lovely when meeting other dogs, sometimes enjoying a playful interaction and other times simply being happy in their company. She can be a little strong on the lead at times, but is generally a pleasure to walk. Xena does have some ongoing skin care needs which will need to be continued in her new home. If you’re looking for a loving, happy companion who will bring plenty of joy to your life, Xena could be the girl for you!

About Xena

What life with Xena looks like

Xena is a small young adult cane corso dog waiting at Newcastle Dog and Cat Shelter in Newcastle.

A young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Xena, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Xena?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Newcastle Dog and Cat Shelter handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Xena on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Xena if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Newcastle Dog and Cat Shelter will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Xena already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Xena isn't the right fit?: Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Newcastle Dog and Cat Shelter early rather than rehoming privately; they know Xena and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?: TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
