Xavier

My story

Hey, I'm Xavier-a two-year-old shepherd mix with the brains, heart, and potential to be an incredible companion. But for some reason, I keep getting passed by. I've been here too long, and the shelter just isn't where I thrive. What I really need is a fresh start-and someone who's ready to see what I'm capable of.I'm smart, intuitive, and deeply loyal once I feel that bond. I already know some training basics and love having a job to do-it gives me purpose and helps me feel connected. I'd do best with someone active, consistent, and ready to bring out the best in me through play, structure, and a little patience.Yes, I've got an impressive vertical (I can jump a 6-foot fence), but with a secure setup-or just a good leash and someone who keeps me close-I'll be happy to stay right where I belong. Once I have a home and a person of my own, I won't be looking to go anywhere.If you're ready for a smart, devoted, one-of-a-kind dog who's been waiting far too long to be chosen, I think you'll be glad you met me. Come to Woods in SLO to meet me, any day from 12-4pm! Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: Tan Weight: 83.3 Age: 2yrs 4mths 1wks
