Introducing Crixus, named after the gladiator because he fears nothing. He's 10 weeks old and part of the boxer/pit mix litter who were being given away for free in horrible condition, starving. He's twice the size of the others, and was in the best shape, but he was skinny too.
The moment he was put in my arms he climbed up my body onto my shoulder. When we got inside, the other three were scared and sad, but not him. He was all over the place as soon as his feet hit the floor.
He likes to be where the action is. If there is no action, he'll make some. If he's trying to make off with contraband and I catch him, he'll talk back with his mouth full and keep runnin'.
The other two are cautious and unsure of new things and it takes them a minute. He'd jump off the roof if I let him. Don't be fooled by his wings.
He's a bouncy, playful, baby boy, but when he's worn out, and done licking your face, he's quite the cuddler. Sleeps like a log. He's rolled out of his bed a couple times and didn't even wake up. Whatever position he lands in is how he'll stay.

If you would like to meet Crixus, please fill out the application below (copy and paste to your browser) and we will get back with you as soon as we can.
