Every day of life gives me a reason to smile.

Update: Xica was adopted on December 4th!

This well-behaved, endearing girl reminds us of Baloo, the heroic blue bear featured in Rudyard Kipling's "The Jungle Book".

Xica has a Teddy Bear-like personality.  She is engaging and chatty, full of enthusiasm and joy.

She is a Shepherd mix with distinguished blue coloring.  She is spayed, about 4 years of age, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.

Like Elgin, Xica is one of the eight dogs we rescued on Thanksgiving Eve from a government shelter.  She was reportedly surrendered there when her previous owner lost the family home to foreclosure.

Besides being good with dogs, Xica reportedly is housetrained and enjoys children.
