Huxley is a 9-month-old Maltese/Shih Tzu mix weighing 8.3 lbs. He's a sweet young pup with lots of playful puppy energy, especially when it comes to his favorite toys. Huxley may need a little time to adjust in new situations, but with patience and a loving family, his affectionate personality really shines.
Like all puppies, Huxley will need proper socialization with the right people to help him grow into a confident, happy adult dog. With guidance and consistency, he has so much potential to thrive.
A meet and greet is required at our shelter to ensure Huxley is the right fit for his future home. If you're looking for a playful, loving companion and are ready to help a young pup continue to learn and grow, Huxley may be the one for you.

Before being rescued, many of our dogs had limited socialization, so they may need some time to adjust to life as a family pet. Older kids are often a great fit for our dogs, and homes with younger children will be considered based on each dog's individual needs. Skills like house training and leash walking may take a little extra patience and practice. However, with understanding and a gentle hand, most of these dogs adapt quite quickly. Being a part of their rehabilitation is a truly rewarding experience. To learn more about mill dogs and start the adoption process, visit our website!
