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 the day. He's an absolute sweetheart. He's just the right blend of confidence and cuddles. He's adventurous, curious and loves soaking up the sunshine outside.

Paxton loves exploring, looking for leaves or twigs and when he finds one, he struts very proudly back to his blankie where he plays and chews on them. He loves the sound of the crunchy leaves.

Paxton is 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 would love a home with another dog to learn all the good things from and play with. While he has not met cats, he is at the right age to learn about them so we believe with proper introductions, he would be fine in a home with a cat.

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's not a couch potato so will need hoomans who will enjoy taking him on adventures, getting out for daily walks and seeing the world together as well as someone to cuddle up with on the couch in the evenings.

His foster mum says: "He has a calm, steady nature that makes him a joy to be around.
He is also incredibly affectionate and will bring joy and companionship into your home."

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.
