Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Xavier!
I'm Xavier! I am about a year old and am looking for my forever home. I'm a special boy because when I was young, I was a stray and hit by a car and broke my back leg. The vets decided that I could get by without it, so now I'm a tripod and loving life!
I absolutely LOVE people of all ages! In fact, I really don't ever want to be alone so I need a family with some patience to help me learn that I really will be there forever.
I get along with dogs that are about my size. I prefer to play more gently, though, because I can get a little off-balance on my three legs. A home where I am the only dog would be awesome! I'm currently in boarding in Northern Illinois at my trainer's house. But I’m ready for my forever home now!
Do you think maybe I could join your family? I promise I would love you forever!
Xavier's adoption fee is $250 and he’s located in Illinois. Because all our Cupids are fostered in private homes, an approved application MUST be on file before proceeding with a meet-and-greet. The online application can be found at http://www.caninecupids.org/adopt-.html.
About Canine Cupids
Canine Cupids is a rescue in Milwaukee that is comprised of volunteers who have been fostering for various organizations and volunteering at our local animal control. Canine Cupids focuses on Milwaukee’s homeless dogs, but will always help a dog in need when we can — regardless of location.
Canine Cupids is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. For more information visit www.caninecupids.org.
Our Thoughts on Visual Breed Identification
Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable. For most of our adoptable Cupids we are only guessing at the predominant breed or breed mix. We think it’s most important is to get to know each dog as an individual! We then do our best to describe each of our adoptable Cupids based on their personalities in order to determine whether they’ll make good companions based on prospective adopters’ lifestyles. Dog behavior is not exclusive to breed — it’s a complex mix of nature and nurture.
