About Twix

Meet Twix. He was on his own for several days before someone spotted him and stepped in, so his early days are a bit of a mystery. At roughly 10 months old and around 44 lbs, Twix is still very much a puppy. He shows a gentle temperament, gets along well with other dogs, and is easy to fall for with his soulful eyes and brindle coat. Likely a hound and mastiff mix, he brings the best of both: a loving personality and loyalty you’ll notice immediately. Twix would make a loyal sidekick for someone ready to welcome a young, friendly companion. Fun fact: born June 29th, Twix is a Cancer, which makes him especially sensitive and sweet-natured.
