My name is Twix!

ABOUT TWIX
Twix is a 1 year old terrier mix with a heartbreaking backstory. This little girl was saved from a hoarding case in West Virginia, at only a few months old. The local animal control took her and her littermates to safety, after living in unimaginable conditions. She stayed at their shelter, with her siblings, for 9 months and received no adoption interest. Typically, puppies are adopted quickly, but given the environment she was raised in, Twix was fearful of people, often seen cowering or running away from strangers. The shelter in West Virginia no longer had space for her, so she came to Delaware!

When she arrived at HAP, she displayed some submissive, nervous behaviors but began to open up with other dogs. After being cooped up in a hoarders house, to an overcrowded shelter, to HAP, Twix is still settling in and can be nervous at the shelter. While she is not aggressive with children, she trembles and cowers with loud or fast kids, so older kids that can respect her space would be best. She would likely thrive in a quieter home environment, where she can feel safe and loved.

If you are interested in adopting this dog, please submit an adoption questionnaire! Our adoption process is on a first-come, best-match basis and we are not able to hold animals. If you are interested in this specific dog but it ends up not being the best fit upon meeting, our adoption counselors will work with you to help find a match! All household members, including children and other dogs, must come along for the meeting to make sure it's a good fit. If a match is made, we encourage same-day adoptions! Our adoption fees include the animals' spay/neuter, microchip, age-appropriate vaccinations and preventatives, fecal testing, heartworm testing, and a small bag of food to get you started.
