Meet the magnificent Xavier! This sweet senior soul has found himself in a heart-wrenching situation, and while it may seem like a discarded story, he's ready to write a new chapter in your life. 🌟 At around 13 years old and a delightful 13 lbs, Xavier is a poodle/bichon mix who radiates kindness and love, despite his challenging past. Imagine a little fluffball that looks like a rug begging for attention! 😢 Having been left at animal control after being 'found' by someone who clearly didn’t understand the joy of companionship, Xavier was not given a fair chance. When he first arrived, he resembled a sad old bathmat and was overwhelmed with health issues: chronic dry eye, heart murmur, arthritis, and a few crusty dog wart growths among them. Seriously, folks, you'd think he'd lost the battle against bad breath — one whiff and you'd be clear across the room! 😆 But here’s the beauty of Xavier: He doesn’t let his physical ailments dampen his spirit! With some love, a little medication, and heaps of encouragement, he’s getting around so much better and wagging that tail like there’s no tomorrow! With a heart as big as his personality, all this lovable guy wants is a warm lap and some belly rubs. He even mimics the sounds of a human baby when innocently ignored! 🤗 Xavier gets along well with other little dogs, although he may need a little help in the enthusiasm department since he hasn’t been neutered yet. Rest assured, this will be handled while he gets some much-needed dental TLC. Let’s just say Xavier truly believes that age is just a number and he deserves the same Second Chance we all do! 🎉 Now, let’s talk about the little quirks! He’ll steal your heart in an instant — just picture those adorable puppy-dog eyes begging for love! 💖 If your heartstrings are tugged at the thought of offering a soft and loving home to this charming old gentleman, please apply to adopt Xavier through the Buddy App. Remember, he’s looking for a forever family, and your kindness could be the missing puzzle piece to his happiness.
