Meet Bixby! With his adorable little face, happy personality, and heart full of love, Bixby is sure to steal your heart! This sweet, playful one-year-old boy was rescued from a high-kill shelter in Houston, and now he's ready for a fresh start with a family of his very own. Bixby is a friendly, affectionate little guy who loves attention and greets everyone with a wagging tail! He enjoys romping and playing with the other dogs in his foster home and peacefully ignores the resident cats. With his medium energy level, he's a wonderful mix of playful fun and loving companionship. Bixby is also a good traveler and is perfectly crate trained, sleeping quietly through the night without barking or accidents. His housetraining is still a work in progress, so he'll need a family willing to continue helping him learn and develop good house manners. His ideal home would be one with a low to moderately active lifestyle, plenty of love, and people who will cherish him forever. Bixby has so much love to give and is just waiting for someone to give him the happily-ever-after he deserves! All known information about the animal is listed above.
