About Xander
Xander came into care as a very small, roly-poly, 4-week-old puppy. We do not know what happened to his mum or siblings, but we do know that he has received all the love and the very best care from his foster family — Mum, Dad and two children — during that time.
Foster Mum and the children have been trying to convince Foster Dad to adopt Xander, but Dad has remained firm: “We have five dogs and a cat already!” So Xander will be available for adoption from 8 May, the day he turns 8 weeks old.
This calm and gentle boy loves snuggling with his humans and spreads his sweet puppy nature wherever he goes.
He is in the early stages of toilet training and happily sleeps on his bed all night long. He would no doubt enjoy snuggling in bed with you if allowed.
His ideal home would be with someone who is around most of the time and where he can be part of daily life as a true “house dog”. Indoor living is a must for this precious pup.
Xander will be adopted through ARK’s deferred desexing program, with his adoption fee including the cost of desexing when he is old enough (terms and conditions apply).
Adoption is by online application only:
