About Hux

Meet Hux! At 10 years old and 12 pounds, Hux is a delightful little gentleman with a big heart and an easygoing personality. While he appears to be a Chihuahua mix, his sweetness transcends any breed label. Hux enjoys being near his humans, quietly observing without demanding the spotlight. He loves to settle in a sunny spot, basking in the warmth while keeping an eye on the household activities. Social and friendly, Hux gets along well with dogs, cats, children, and adults. Although he guards his food a bit when other dogs are nearby, this is manageable by feeding him separately. Hux thrives with a structured routine and would appreciate a home with a fenced yard for his leisurely strolls. He has a medium energy level — enough to enjoy playtime but also to relax and unwind comfortably. His new family should help him adjust to being left alone since he may exhibit some destructive behavior if unattended. Hux is already neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and wears a belly band, which will need to be accommodated in his new home. If you're searching for a sweet and gentle companion who enjoys the simple pleasures of life, Hux may be the perfect match for you. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
