Alec is a 3.5-year-old Xoloitzcuintli weighing about 20 lbs, currently in Atlanta, GA. He’s got a big personality: affectionate, spunky, but reserved with new people until trust is earned. Once Alec decides you’re his person, he sticks close, never far from your side. He craves cuddles—couch naps, bedtime snuggles, or just being nestled against you—this is his idea of happiness. Alec is famous for lounging in comfy clothes and adores a soft dog bed. He’ll play with toys here and there, but really just wants to be with his favorite human. He’s crate trained and settles down easily when needed, but it’s crucial he goes to a home with a fenced yard where he can relax and feel secure. He can be protective with his person and needs other dogs in the home to give him space and respect his boundaries. Alec values consistency and ongoing structure with house manners. He isn’t suited for homes with children and does not want to be picked up by strangers. He needs adopters who appreciate a devoted bond and are patient as he settles in. For the right home, he will be an endlessly loyal, loving companion. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
