My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Xander – The Gentle Soul 🖤

Xander’s story isn’t an easy one. Life hasn’t always been kind to him, and his past has left its mark. He carries a shy, cautious air, the kind that tells you he’s seen more than his fair share of hard days. But beneath that timid shell is a heart aching to trust, to love, and to finally belong.

Xander isn’t the dog who will come crashing into your lap right away. He’s the one who will quietly watch, waiting to see if your kindness is real, if your patience is steady, and if your love is the kind that doesn’t give up. With time, gentle encouragement, and consistency, Xander begins to unfold—like a flower opening in the sun after a long storm.

And when he does? You’ll see the makings of the most loyal sidekick you could ever ask for. The kind of friend who doesn’t just follow you—he chooses you, every single day.

✨ Shy but deeply sensitive.
✨ Needs a calm, steady home filled with patience.
✨ Blossoms under gentle guidance.
✨ Has the heart of a true sidekick once trust is built.

Xander may not be everyone’s dog—but for the right person, he’ll be the dog. The one who teaches you the beauty of second chances, the power of patience, and the unshakable bond that comes when a wounded soul learns to trust again. 🐾
