About Twix

Twix is a three-year-old, neutered male Mastiff/Herding mix in Bridgewater, NJ, looking for an experienced, active adopter who understands medium-large breeds. He’s completed several rounds of training and responds quickly to new instruction—especially if treats are involved. Training foundations are strong, but consistency is key. Twix is best as the only pet in the home and should not live with small children. He’s reliably housetrained, very communicative about his needs, and crate trained by choice. At home, he isn’t destructive or anxious when alone and will nap quietly or put himself to bed at sunset. He’s happiest in a structured environment that maintains his training habits. Twix loves long hikes, swimming, tug-of-war, and fetch. He’s active when you are but equally happy lounging around. With proper introductions, he’s done well meeting new people and is generally selective around other dogs—especially intact males. He’s lived peacefully with a cat who ignored him but generally does best in a pet-free household. Resource guarding has been noted around meals and high-value treats, so a hands-off feeding routine and a confident owner matter. Twix experienced one bite incident in the past, attributed to poor handling and lack of introduction by a previous owner; a professional behaviorist has evaluated him and found no signs of serious aggression. He loves affection from his family, greets with enthusiasm, and offers a goofy, playful energy to those he trusts. Twix is a loyal, silly companion ready for stability and care with someone who can meet his exercise and structure needs. Your new best friend is just one click away.
