My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

We love Twix candy bars for their layers of sweet textures and flavors; We love our pupper Twix for his perfect layers too- affection and sweetness topped with playfulness and gentleness; layer upon layer of very-good-dogness!

Twix is housebroken, doing great at learning crate training, and improving at hopping into vehicles, though he’s happy to be picked up if it means he gets to go along for the ride. He loves water, whether it’s a kiddie pool splash or a refreshing drink, and he has a quirky `frog jump` that’ll make you smile.

Here’s what some of his volunteer friends had to share from his time in the shelter:

“Twix is a very affectionate and sweet boy! He’s very playful and good with other dogs as well!”

“Twix is gaining confidence and has a ton of sweet puppy energy.”

“Twix was very excited to get out of his kennel today. He settled once we got out and walked nicely with little to no pulling. When I would stop walking he would sit and wait. He takes treats very gently.”

“Twix is a very sweet and nice boy who loves to play with water in the kiddie pool.”

In playgroup at the shelter Twix is an easygoing guy who wants to hang out with the people more than the dogs, but the longer he is in the yard, the more social and playful he gets with the other pups. If you’re looking for an energetic pup who is the perfect sweet combination of playful and gentle, Twix is the guy for you! Come meet him today!
