ADOPTED ON 03-04-17 - Xavier, Logan and Rogue were left on the steps of a veterinarian’s office in a box in Louisiana. They were covered with mange and malnourished. Our wonderful compassionate vet called and asked their now foster if she could take them and find them new homes. Our foster tells us that they are all a joy to take care of.
This is yet another story of tragic abandonment of precious, innocent puppies that ask for nothing and are treated like garbage. If this is not cruel enough, imagine them being sick puppies, left to suffer, and unable to care for themselves at such a young age? This is exactly what happened to Xavier and his brother and sister. Adorable 3 month old Fiest/Lab mix pups suffering from malnourishment and severe mange left in a box. At the very least, the person who dumped them was at last human enough to leave them outside a veterinarian’s office. They probably though they were doing a good thing. Unfortunately this just creates more of a burden to wonderful, caring people who would never think of turning a blind eye. This vet, and a wonderful foster mom took these babies in and nursed them back to health. Today they are gorgeous pups who bounced back from the horrible treatment they received in their first few weeks of life, and are awaiting patiently a forever home full of fun and love.
Xavier is a very sweet, friendly and Comical little guy that you couldn’t possibly go wrong with if you are thinking about adding a canine companion to your family. ..He has a very happy and bubbly personality and loves to play he would be a great dog for children also if he gets along with everyone who will pay him some attention
Xavier is a spunky little boy with a beautiful, healthy coat, and he has a look on his face that says “what can do” but melts your heart anyway. Xavier loves to play hard and wrestle with his brother. Tug of War is his favorite game. His target is his brother, and they go at it all day. Xavier likes to talk and is a spirited bouncy most adorable boy; he loves an adventure! At the end of playtime Xavier loves attention and affection. He loves everyone he meets, children and other dogs included, and would let you scratch his ears and belly forever if you offered to. Xavier will be a wonderful companion in a loving home and make any family beyond happy. He is a sweet-natured boy and wants nothing more than to have his own family. Will you give Xavier a home for the holidays?
Xavier is ready to slide right into your heart, do you have the requirements of a forever home of her own and endless love to celebrate her special qualities? Now all he needs is many years where he can continue to be a peaceful and loyal member of a family. Will you open your heart to him and give him the love he so deserves? In return, his companionship and friendship will be with you every day.
Our vet has recommended that all dogs under 6 months not to spay or neuter the pups because they are too young and their bodies are not fully developed.
Adoption donation includes transport and all vaccinations, except for the Lyme—therefore, the dogs will not need to get any vaccinations for the first year.

ABOUT THE BREED
Ask anybody who has adopted an adult dog, and they'll swear their bond with their rescued pal is as deep as they come. When you open your heart and your home to a dog who needs help, they really do show their appreciation for the rest of their life! Dogs who have been uprooted from their homes, or have had difficult beginnings are likely to bond completely and deeply with their new human caretakers who they view as heroes. Feists usually want nothing more than to please their new hero---YOU! No matter what circumstances brought them to the shelter or rescue group, most Feist dogs for adoption are exceptionally affectionate and attentive pets and extremely loyal companions. But first you have to adopt one!
PERSONALITY
They have gentle, adaptable personalities, and they know when to adjust the energy level. They are generally good with new people, however, they will alert the family if they sense a threat. Feists aren’t likely to bounce off the walls—in fact, they are more than happy to cuddle on the couch. Easy to train and eager to please, Feists can help on the farm, in the field or in the yard. And if you have a rat problem, they will soon make it go away. They also love to play in the park and jog through the neighborhood.
TEMPERAMENT
Feist prefers to live in a house with ample spaces for running, playing and jogging. If it properly exercised sufficiently it might live with you in an apartment. Families living in apartments must ensure their dogs have enough necessary exercises in a day. These are active dogs and want plenty of interaction with its humans. It requires a reasonable amount of activity to stay healthy with a satisfaction. Intelligent breed that should want a calm, consistent and firm leadership while on training.
CHILDREN & PETS
Feists get along great with children. The Mountain Feists behaved nicely with children. They come with gentleness of temperament and flexible personality, since they are aware to control and adjust their energy according to situations. They should be introduced well enough to household pets.
BEHAVIORAL TRAITS
Feists need at least 30 minutes of exercise every day, whether through walks, jogs through the neighborhood or hikes in the park. Being an intelligent breed, they also like constructive games, they will be happy living in an apartment as long as their daily exercise requirements are met. These are solid, healthy little dogs for the most part. Their short coat is easy to manage and groom, it only need just casual combing and brushing to remove dead hairs from the appealing coat.
