Hi I'm Xander!
I’ve spent most of my life in the shelter, but now I’m ready to find my forever family. I’m a sweet and smart boy, and while I may need a little time to adjust, I promise I’m quick to learn and eager to please. I love cuddles and neck scratches—they’re my absolute favourite! I’ll happily snuggle up next to you while we relax together, whether it’s on the couch or during a quiet walk.
One of my absolute favourite things to do is spend time in or near water. I love to dig in it, explore it, and even take a quick dip. Whether it’s a shell pool or a calm spot for a splash, I’m in my happy place when I’m around water.
Since I’ve spent a lot of time in the shelter, I’ll need a patient family who can help me adjust to home life. I’m food-motivated, which makes training easier, and I’m eager to learn new things—especially if treats are involved! While I’m making progress, I will need some ongoing guidance as I get used to my new routine and environment.
It’s important to note that I’m not a fan of other dogs, so I would prefer to be the only pet in the home. I’m looking for a calm, quiet space where I can feel safe, explore, and enjoy time with my person. After a fun day of adventures, nothing makes me happier than curling up for a cuddle with you. If you're looking for a loyal, loving companion who just needs a little extra care and attention to feel at home, I might just be the perfect match for you!
If you think you could be the perfect family for me, I can’t wait to meet you and start our adventure together! Please fill out an application at RSPCA NSW Adoptions or contact the shelter directly at 0477 064 192, or email us at barc@rspcansw.org.au.
