About Alex

Meet Alex, a Chiweenie mix and a neutered male who's about 3 years old and weighs 15 pounds. This little guy has a calm and gentle demeanor, and after learning to trust, he's ready to embrace love fully. Alex adapts well to new environments and enjoys quiet walks without the fuss of barking or destructive behavior. When Alex first arrived, he was hesitant and unsure about human affection, likely due to his past experiences. With time and patience from his caregivers, he discovered that warm human companionship isn't something to fear. His journey from fear to trust has been touching to witness. Alex, along with a companion dog, was saved from an uncertain fate after losing their owner, who experienced homelessness. They were at risk of being surrendered to the shelter when a kind rescuer stepped in to give them a second chance. Now, Alex is looking for a forever home where he can finally feel safe and loved. He gets along well with both dogs and children, making him a great addition to a family. Alex just needs a little patience and kindness to thrive. Could you be the one to show him he's truly loved? Every dog deserves a loving home, and Alex is no exception. Ready to give him that chance? Click apply to start the adoption process.
