About Foxy

Meet Foxy, an 11-year-old Pomeranian/Dachshund mix looking for the right place to enjoy his golden years. Foxy is a small guy at just 15 pounds and does well with dogs, happy to play or relax by their side. He likes toys, enjoys being gently petted, and takes genuine comfort in sitting with people or lounging in the yard. Foxy is house trained and prefers to come and go at his own pace, making a fenced yard a necessity for him; leashes and being picked up are nonstarters and can trigger defensive snapping. Something in his past made those things stressful, so he’ll need someone who respects those boundaries and won't try to force interactions. Give Foxy a home where he can just be himself, and he’ll quietly return your patience with affection in his own way. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
