Xeno - Beagle and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Potomac, Maryland

Xeno - a gorgeous 4-month-old Beagle/Mixed Breed pup who is absolutely ready for silly fun and endless snuggles!

Xeno's story starts with Animal Control, who brought him in before he was quickly whisked off to foster care since space was tight. That means we don't have much background on this guy - but honestly, that's part of the charm. Xeno is a total blank slate, friendly and sweet from day one, just ready and eager to learn all the puppy things.

And learn he has! Xeno is already settling into foster life like a total pro - he slept through the night in his crate without a single cry (okay, there was one rough first night, but that's totally normal), and he hasn't had a single accident in the house since. He's also been getting along great with the resident older dog, playing nicely and even taking gentle corrections like a good student. His foster family is holding off on introducing him to a more energetic pup just yet, but so far, Xeno is proving he's got great manners and an even better attitude.

Puppy stats, because you asked:

4 months old (0Y/4M/4D, to be exact) and full of personality
Beagle x Mixed Breed - the "curious nose meets sweet soul" combo platter
Crate training status: already crushing it
Zero accidents in the house so far
Plays well with older dogs and takes correction like a champ
A blank slate with a friendly, sweet temperament - ready to be molded into anyone's perfect companion
Currently accepting applications for silly playtime and cuddle sessions

Fair warning: Xeno came in without much history, so he's still figuring out the world - but he's off to an amazing start and clearly has a wonderful temperament to work with. Give him patience, consistency, and plenty of love, and you'll help shape him into the best version of himself, one silly, snuggly day at a time.

If you're looking for a sweet, adaptable puppy with a clean slate and a whole lot of heart, Xeno might just be your perfect match - fair warning, you're going to be so sick of him (in the best way)!

Ready to fall in love? Apply today - Xeno is waiting to meet his people! Warning: extreme cuteness (and extreme snuggles) ahead.

The Beagle is a beloved breed known for its friendly nature, curious personality, and distinctive howl. These small to medium sized dogs are incredibly sociable and get along well with both humans and other pets. Beagles are curious and energetic, always eager to follow a scent with their incredible sense of smell, making them excellent hunting and tracking dogs. Their short coat is easy to maintain, and they are adaptable to various living environments, making them popular companions for families and individuals alike.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
