About Xylophone

Xylophone, affectionately known as Xy, arrived with quite the backstory. After being seized by the state police due to a cruelty case, he now seeks a loving home. He's a young, big-footed male, approximately 1 year old and weighing around 62 lbs, although he’ll need to gain about 10 lbs to reach his ideal weight. Xy has a medium-length coat and a joyful, goofy personality. He’s curious about his new surroundings after spending time in cramped conditions and is eager to explore the world. While he does pull on the leash, he's making progress with training. Despite needing some guidance, we believe he has the potential to become a fantastic companion. He gets along well with other dogs, cats, and children, making him a good fit for many families. Xy is already neutered and vaccinated. Ready to give this loving dog the home he deserves?
