Saint

My story

Meet Saint – A Little Soul With a Big Heart Saint is a sweet, spirited little guy who’s about a year and a half old and weighs around 11 pounds. TXCR rescued him from their local shelter at blood test results told they were surprised to learn he was heartworm positive at such a young age. But Saint’s story took a turn for the better—he’s been fully treated, handled it like a champ, and never had a single complication. And his fostering in Canada has confirmed there has been zero coughing. Now, he’s making up for lost time with a full heart and a playful spirit. Saint is a joyful, loving pup who adores playing with other dogs and has plenty of puppy energy to share. But once playtime is over, his favorite place is curled up next to you on the couch, smothering you with kisses. (He’s a professional licker!) He gets along wonderfully with dogs of all sizes and is great with kids. He sometimes playfully chases cats and kittens, but it’s all in good fun—never with any harm. He’s a gentle soul through and through. Saint walks well on a leash, settles in quietly at night with his person, and is incredibly food-motivated and smart. He quickly picks up routines and will bond deeply with his forever family. He’s likely a Chihuahua/Jack Russell mix and carries the best personality traits of both—spunky, smart, and so very loyal. He’s still very puppy-like: curious, a bit nippy when excited, and working on finding his voice. He does well with stairs, wants to sleep cuddled up to a person all night, and will thrive in a home with another dog who can help show him the ropes. Saint can have a little separation anxiety and might cry when left alone, so a family who can offer patience, training, and love would be perfect. An apartment could work too—with the right attention and routine. He doesn’t need a fenced yard—he’s great on leash and loves walks. This little guy just wants to love and be loved. DISCLAIMER; I understand that the breed,health, age, nature, or temperament of the TXCR adopted dog is not guaranteed. I understand that said dog is a rescue that has come from the streets or shelters and often there is no history on this animal.
