Xion is a young, sensitive boy who is still learning to feel safe in the world. He can be unsure at first and will need slow, thoughtful introductions to new people. If he is rushed or startled, he may react out of fear, so understanding his boundaries is important. Once he feels comfortable, Xion is incredibly sweet. He has started to decompress in the shelter and has shown a gentle, affectionate side, enjoying walks, taking treats softly, and even climbing up for cuddles. He forms connections with time and becomes a loving companion when he trusts you. He is still a bit puppyish and can be awkward with other dogs at first, but he has shown he can warm up and engage in play. He will benefit from continued confidence building and a calm, patient home. Xion is at risk because the shelter environment can be overwhelming for him, and without the chance to decompress in a stable setting, his fear can escalate. He needs a home that will go slow, respect his space, and help him build confidence safely.
