Xander

This cutie pie is XANDER! He is just about 4 ½ to 5 months old. We believe him to be a coated Xolo mix. Xolo or Xoloitzcuintli , is also known as a Mexican Hairless. They come hairless and coated. You can read more about Xolo’s at this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xoloitzcuintli . Little Xander was rescued from the county pound where his days were limited and his future was bleak. We are so glad to have saved this happy-go-lucky boy just in the nick of time! Xander is a silly, sweet, smart and super cool boy! He is a puppy and has lots of puppy energy! Xander started using the doggie door within the first hour of coming to his foster home. He uses the doggie door like a champ and along with frequent trips outside has not had an accident yet. He is still a puppy though and will continue to need supervision and training. He still pees like a girl – so no marking for this boy! Xander likes to be around other dogs and would certainly love an active playmate or two. With his friendly disposition he would probably do good with older kids as well. We are not sure about kitties yet, as he has not met any. Like many puppies, Xander does like to find things around the house and move them around. He needs to learn what toys are his and what things are not  He is quiet most of the time and usually only barks if ready to play or if he sees something he is not quite sure about. He loves to be around his people but he is not super needy. He loves to explore the house and new things, look out the window and run around the yard. He also loves to be petted, is fine with being held and is very easy to handle. Xander just weighed in at 11 ½ pounds and should not grow too much larger. He has a nice, sleek easy to care for coat. This little puppy is looking for a loving family to call his own. He promises to bring lots of fun and laughter to your life! If you are interested in Xander, please email his foster mom at [email protected] and she would be happy to tell you all about him!
