Echinda

My story

Echinda (nicknamed Kenna) is a vibrant and affectionate medium-sized pup with a heart as big as her energy level. Though she was originally listed as a Labrador mix, a DNA test revealed her true heritage: a Boxer-Weimaraner combo—and she shows it in all the best ways! 💡 Brainy & Trainable: Kenna knows an impressive lineup of tricks, from Spin to High Five, and even a special “Clean Up” routine (for food, of course!). She responds to hand signals and unique cues like double-taps or clicks, showing just how tuned-in and intelligent she is. 🛡️ Home Guardian: She's naturally protective and makes an excellent watchdog, keeping foxes, squirrels, raccoons—and your heart—on lock. Her signature “boxing stance” when tracking critters is both effective and adorable. 💞 Affectionate Companion: Kenna is happiest when surrounded by love. She thrives on attention and affirmation, and her soulful eyes will melt even the toughest of days. Her Weimaraner side makes her prone to separation anxiety, so she’s looking for a family who can offer steady companionship and emotional support. 🐾 Doggy Daycare Darling: With familiar pups, Kenna is playful and friendly. She loves off-leash play and is a star at doggy daycare! In public, she can be wary of strangers and may need help building trust—something she’s absolutely capable of with time and patience. Ideal Home: Kenna will do best with an active, engaged family who can offer both mental and physical stimulation. She loves tug-of-war, exploring new places, and solving treat puzzles. A home without cats is ideal, though she can be taught boundaries with the right guidance. She needs consistent affection and structure to feel safe—especially after past experiences with separation anxiety. If you’re looking for a smart, loyal, and lively dog who will stick by your side through thick and thin, Kenna might just be your perfect match.
