Age: 2.5 years (as of 2/4/25)
Weight: 23 lbs (as of 2/4/25)

This dog has been spayed/neutered, is up to date on shots, on heartworm preventative and is microchipped.

Meet Paxton, a fun and happy Pug mix. His playful nature is infectious, spreading joy wherever he goes. His boundless energy makes him the perfect companion for long walks or runs. Despite his love for fun, Paxton is also a perfect gentleman. He's well-mannered, patient, and has a knack for making everyone around him feel at ease. He is a smart boy that is house trained and crate trained but needs a little work on his leash skills. His propensity for dashing through doors adds a charming quirk to his personality – potential adopters will need to have him leashed before heading out or put him in a crate before opening the door.

We recommend that you and Paxton sign up for some dog training classes together, ideally in the first 60 days or so of bringing him home. Group training classes are a great way to reinforce important skills, learn some new tricks, and get some quality socialization time with other furry friends.

Paxton is more than just a pet, he's a friend, a confidant, and a source of endless entertainment. His loving and friendly demeanor is sure to brighten any home. So, why adopt Paxton? Because a home with Paxton is filled with laughter, love, and countless adventures. His unwavering loyalty and companionship are the perfect additions to any family.

An adoption donation is required for each adoption; please see   HERE   for more information about this.

**Additional info you should know - For most of our dogs, we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each of our dogs as an individual and do our best to describe and place them based on personality not breed label. Some dogs may not yet be in New England, nor ready for immediate adoption. There may be additional vetting, quarantine, waiting periods and/or fees depending upon your state of residence. If you have questions or concerns on any of this, you can discuss this with your Adoption Counselor.

As a first step in the adoption process, we ask that you fill out an online application.
