About Xarpo

Click apply to start the adoption process. Meet Xarpo, a young female Husky mix named after the Greek goddess of fall—and just like her namesake, she’s absolutely stunning. While her striking beauty catches everyone’s eye, it’s her spirited and fun-loving personality that truly shines through. Xarpo can be initially shy and nervous with both people and dogs, but she warms up quickly, revealing her playful, energetic, and affectionate side. She thrives on canine companionship and hasn’t met a dog she doesn’t like. Xarpo would do best with a confident dog companion her size or larger who enjoys active play and puppy energy. She is learning her manners and basic commands, including polite play and respectful interactions. Xarpo rests well in her crate overnight but prefers to spend her days being active, true to her Husky heritage. She is in the process of house training; while she usually goes outside when asked, excitement can occasionally leave her distracted. Though she has seen cats, she is far more interested in other dogs and hasn’t been trained to live with felines. Apartment living is not the right fit for her as she can be vocal and needs both space and activity. With her adventurous Husky spirit, Xarpo is ready to become someone’s running or hiking partner. She’s searching for a forever home that will appreciate her beauty, nurture her confidence, and provide the active lifestyle she craves. Are you ready for Xarpo to be your perfect fall goddess? Make their next chapter their best one yet.
