Paxton is a 1.5-year-old Basenji/Husky mix with the brightest smile and a heart full of love! Once a stray wandering the streets of a Houston neighborhood known for dumped dogs, Paxton was rescued after no family came forward to claim him. Now safe in a foster home, he’s thriving and ready for his forever family.

 

✨ Why Paxton Might Be Your Perfect Match:

• Dog’s Best Friend: Paxton is dog-friendly and absolutely lights up when he has a canine companion! He’d love a forever home with a dog buddy to play with and snuggle.

• Kid-Approved: He’s been around children ages 6–10 and is always gentle and sweet, happily soaking up hugs and pets.

• Adventure Buddy: Paxton loves going for walks, stays close by your side, and even sneaks in head pets while strolling. He’s the perfect match for an active family who enjoys hikes, the outdoors, or even water adventures.

• Home Ready: Paxton is fully vaccinated, neutered, microchipped, potty trained, and crate trained. He’s trustworthy when free roaming for short periods but also naps contently in his crate when needed.

• Adaptable Energy: Whether it’s zooming around the yard or curling up on the couch, Paxton adjusts to your vibe. Playful when you’re ready, snuggly when you’re winding down.

 

🏡 Paxton would thrive in a home with a fenced yard and another dog to keep him company. He’s still young and full of life, so an adopter who enjoys walks, playtime, and exploring new places would be a dream come true for him.

 

🛋️ From His Foster Mom:
“Paxton is the best boy! He’s incredibly smart, affectionate, and a HUGE cuddler. He loves meeting new people and will walk up to just about anyone for pets. He rides perfectly in the car, calmly watching out the window. He’s fun, loving, and easygoing – truly the kind of dog who makes every day brighter.”

 

📍Paxton is being fostered in Houston, TX but is available to transport to his forever home once the right match is found!
