Xena recently came to us as a stray with another dog so we do not know her history. What we do know is she is incredibly sweet and affectionate. Xena just wants to be loved on all of the time! If you have another dog, we would need to do a meet and greet prior to adoption. If this sweetheart looks like your next best friend, apply today! Visit Xena at the Venango County Humane Society from noon to 5 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays.
