About Xavier

Hi, I'm Xavier! Thanks for checking me out! I know my cute face is hard to resist, but here's the scoop: I'll need a lot of your time and attention as I grow up into the amazing adult dog I'm destined to be! I'm looking for a forever family that will help me with socialization, training (yes, that includes house training!), and plenty of exercise. And let's not forget the chewing and teething-I'm still learning what's okay (and what's definitely not okay) to put in my mouth. So, be ready for some puppy-proofing! Don't forget those vet visits! I'll need to stay up to date on my boosters and vaccines, which means a few trips to see my favorite vet in the first few months. But trust me, all that effort will be worth it when you experience the endless love, puppy kisses, and pure joy I'll bring into your life. So, if you're up for the challenge and the fun, why not come meet me in person? The friendly folks here will be happy to answer all your questions! Can't wait to meet you and start our adventure together!

Ideal Home

A family that is prepared for the time, attention, and training commitment that comes with a young puppy. Puppy-proofing your home is a must, as I'm still learning what is and isn't appropriate to chew on.

Ongoing Health

I will need to stay up to date on my boosters and vaccines, which will involve several vet visits in the first few months. I will go home spayed or neutered, microchipped, and heartworm tested (if over 7 months). I will also be up to date on core vaccines, as well as heartworm, flea, and tick preventatives.

Training & Support

I am still learning house training and what is okay to chew on. Consistent training and socialization will be essential for me to grow into a well-adjusted adult dog.
