Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Xander - what a silly, sweet and affectionate boy! A complete mess when he was found by a Good Samaritan, you'd never have thought that cute face was under all that hair (see his before picture). He is only about nine pounds, three years old, and we are guessing at his mix of Poodle and Havanese because his eyes just aren't typical poodle. Whatever his mix this little guy only has eyes for his people.
When we took in Xander we actually weren't planning on it! We had gone in to rescue two other dogs and ended up with three - we just couldn't stand to leave such a sweet dog. His sweetness has only gotten sweeter now that he's out of the shelter too. He loves to be held or hang out in a lap or just be near his humans.
Xander gets along with other dogs, sleeps great in a crate throughout the night, loves walks, and is good with cats. We are looking for a home where any children he would be around are over eight years old due to his small size,
If you would like to meet and potentially adopt Xander please read on or go to the Adoption Process page of our website - throwmeabonedogrescue.org.
All potential adopters are expected to complete an application and provide pictures of their yard, patio, and/or balcony making sure we can see the fence line and/or railing. The application can be completed and submitted from our website - throwmeabonedogrescue.org - the link is found of the Adoption Process page. Applications will be reviewed for approval before setting an appointment to come meet and possibly adopt the dog of interest. In addition, those who live in a rental property are expected to provide proof that they are allowed to have a dog where they live.
Each of our rescued dogs has been de-wormed if necessary, de-flea'd (with topical treatment if old enough, and by medicated bath if too young), spayed/neutered, microchipped, is up to date on shots, and has been fully examined by a veterinarian. In addition, each adopted dog comes with a starter baggie of the food it has been eating, a few treats for training purposes, a rawhide chew, a lead and collar, and a folder containing pertinent records.
