Story
I am in a foster home and not at the shelter. If you are interested in adopting, submit an adoption questionnaire by email. Learn more hereHi, I’m Xipe—a 35-lb, 1-year-old Xoloitzcuintle (that’s a fancy name for a Mexican Hairless pup), and I’m on a journey to find a forever home where I can feel safe and loved. I’ll be honest—I’m a little shy. If you approach me too fast, I might freeze up because the world still feels a bit overwhelming sometimes. But underneath that nervous exterior, I promise there’s a playful, loving pup just waiting to shine. I do my best when I have a confident, social dog friend around to show me the ropes—and some patient humans who are willing to go at my pace. The good news? I’m a quick learner, especially when there are treats involved! I already know cues like “sit,” “leave it,” “house,” “couch,” and working on “four-on-floor.” I even like my crate—it’s my cozy little space where I can relax with my favorite toys. Right now, I’m living in a foster home with four cats and three dogs. I really enjoy their company—especially playing chase or hide-and-seek with my doggie buddies or chilling next to my feline pals. If you’ve got a calm, nurturing home and you’re ready to help me keep growing with positive reinforcement and patience, I’ll do my part to keep blossoming into the joyful, trusting dog I’m meant to be. Could you be the one I’ve been waiting for? I’m ready to give my heart to someone who sees me for who I truly am. Follow Xipe's adventures in foster with @gordas_oas_gang_of_fosters on Instagram!
