Paxton and his 6 sibilings came into Animal Control care at only ONE day old! Sadly their mama passed away while giving birth to them. At 1 week old, they came to us and have been in their amazing foster homes ever since. They've received the very best care and have all been able to be around adult doggos that have been their surrogate mamas so they've had the opportunity to be well socialised with other dogs and have also had the benefit of staying with their littermates, which means they have had the ability to learn all the good things any pupper needs to learn from their littermates too. Because they have all been bottle fed, they are also very affectionate and social pups with hoomans too.

Paxton is still a baby so he will need someone home with him during at least some of the day. He'd be just the right sort of kid to go to work with you too. 

This little man is just the right blend of confidence and cuddles. He's adventurous, curious, brave and loyal. If you're looking for a best mate... this guy is your man.

Paxton loves exploring. He's inquisitive and handles new situations well. He adores people and isn't bothered by meeting new people at all. He's also been raised around kids of varying ages from the time he came into our care at 1 week old. His foster parents have been amazing at getting him out into the world to see new things (safely of course) which has made him a very easygoing, happy and confident boy who loves to make new friends.

Paxton started off in a foster home with two of his siblings as well as two adult dogs, who he loves to play with and follow around. He is now in a new foster home with one of his brothers and 3 other adult dogs, a cat and a turtle (and a young child). He has adapted beautifully to his new foster home. He would love a home with another dog to learn all the good things from and play with but would be fine on his own too. While he has only met the cat in his foster home, we believe with proper introductions he would be fine in a home with cats.

Paxton has been around kids since he came into our care, he is so happy to see people, we believe he would do well in a home with kids 5+ who are gentle and kind but that would love to play with him. He'd love hoomans who will enjoy taking him on daily walks as well as adventures on the weekends - he really just wants to be a part of the family and do whatever you're doing - as long as that includes snuggles on the couch too of course.

Paxton is an easy guy to have around. While of course you'd need to be prepared for the normal puppy stuff, he's a super easy going guy who isn't phased by much. He's great company, learns quickly and will even put himself to bed for a nap if he needs some time to himself.

His foster mum says: "He has a calm, steady nature that makes him a joy to be around.
He is also incredibly affectionate. He is an all rounder and would do great in any family situation"

Paxton will need a family committed to making sure he learns all the things a good pupper should know so he can grow into a good doggy citizen.
