XENIA

Mixed Breed · Female

Xenia A clever girl waiting for her chance Some dogs just need the right person to see what they can become and we think Xenia is one of those dogs. Xenia has been at the kennels for two years now, and despite the long stay, she remains a bright, alert and incredibly switched-on girl. She’s active and intelligent, and she has a real working-dog brain. She may stalk and lunge at some dogs, so she needs an experienced owner who understands her behaviour and is willing to continue her training. But there’s another side to Xenia that you might not expect… She’s surprisingly affectionate and has always got on well either way her kennel mates. She knows her basic commands and is very sharp, she loves human interaction and we get the feeling she’s simply desperate to have something to do. Give her structure, training, stimulation and a purpose, and we really think this girl could absolutely shine. Xenia is looking for someone who will see beyond the challenges and recognise the intelligent, affectionate dog underneath. A little more about Xenia: Female Medium-sized Approx. 24.5kg Approx. 58cm tall Distinctive, beautiful eye Intelligent and active Affectionate with people Needs an experienced home and continued training Two years is a long time to wait for a home. Xenia deserves someone who will look at her and think, “I know exactly what you need.” Could that be you?

About XENIA

What life with XENIA looks like

XENIA is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Murcia) in Lips Rescue.

An 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 Spain

Spanish protectoras generally include sterilization, all vaccinations, microchip ID, and EU pet passport in the adoption fee (typically €250–€400 for a dog, €100–€180 for a cat). Many maintain partnerships with rescue transport providers across the EU.

Frequently asked

Adopting XENIA, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about XENIA?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Murcia) handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw XENIA on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt XENIA if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Murcia) 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is XENIA 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 XENIA 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 Murcia) early rather than rehoming privately; they know XENIA 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. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
