Charlyne's Pound Puppies in Thorndale, TX (near Austin) rescued this 2 year old Min Pin mix that was injured by a hit and run driver which severed Xena's nerve to right front leg. On April 21st of 2014, Xena's leg was amputated. She has been doing great ever since! Contact C.P.P. at (512)832-4101 for more information or Email us at: info@poundpups.org
Hello, my name is Xena. It used to be something else but when Charlyne's Pound Puppies rescued me after being hit by a car, they decided I was a Princess Warrior! Because of the car accident I had to have my leg amputated. Now I am a Tripawd, and proud of it. I can run as fast as ever (just not as long as I used to)! I had a hard life before CPP took me in. It frightens me when people shout at me or raise their hand to me. But I forget easily and can’t wait to snuggle up as close as I can to my caregivers. I like dogs that are about my size and cats are ok too. I weigh about 10 lbs and am a Miniature Pinscher mixed with something else…perhaps a dachshund. My foster mom started a blog for me here of my adventures since staying with her: http://cfitetx......wds.com/ Being a tripawd makes me a little less perfect than the other pups needing homes, but I promise to love you unconditionally fur-ever.
Oh Xena aren't you adorable! Thanks for posting here, we'll help get the word out.
Didja hear that everypawdy? Check out Xena's blog and help her find a furever home OK?!

Xena is still available for adoption! But we are looking for a home for her in Texas. We can't ship a dog especially in this heat and we want to make sure it's a good fit, so the closer to Austin, TX the better in case Xena would have to be returned. Thank you for understanding.
Appreciate the update, we'll keep the word going out. Thanks for all you do.

I'm so happy for Xena that she has found her forever home!!
And thank you for what you do with fostering...it takes a special person to provide pups in need with love and support until they reach their permanent home. Me...I would just want to keep each one that came into my home.

I was about ready to keep the little cutie but this lady that took her home will give her a very special home something more than I could give her, I am sure of that.
