Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Paxton is a sweet, gorgeous, energetic, playful, muscular and loyal, three-year-old, 54-pound, male, fawn and white Boxer/Pit Bull Terrier-mix with a velvety fur coat looking for a loving guardian. Paxton has adorable expressive eyes and ears and loves to play with balls and toys. A game of tug of war is so much fun for him. He loves people, playing with other dogs, going for walks and car rides. Paxton is already housebroken, crate-trained, knows sit and down and would love to continue training with his new family. He is so proud to show off what he knows! No one knows what Paxton’s early life was like … but we can only just imagine. He was found tied to railroad tracks in Waukegan, Illinois, and rescued right in the nick of time. He’s looking for a home with adults and children over the age of 10 who can lavish him with love and attention. He is living in a foster home right now with four other dogs and he loves everyone. Paxton is healthy, neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, micro-chipped, de-wormed and heartworm-tested. If you are interested in meeting, fostering, or adopting Paxton, please contact Lynn at caninecupids@live.com or 414-339-0465. His adoption fee of $250 benefits the rescued pets of Canine Cupids.
