PAXTON Australian Terrier & Cairn Terrier Mix Westmont, IL

A bit of sassy and spunk is how we’d describe this adorable, handsome guy, PAXTON. At best guess, he’s a 6 year old, 10-pound, Australian Terrier or Cairn Terrier mix. Paxton absolutely loves to play with other dogs (small and medium sized) and can be a little bit dominant at first, but settles quickly. He can be a bit timid when meeting people initially but warms up very quickly - once he gets to know you he’s your best friend. Paxton absolutely loves to run the yard with the other dogs and chase critters, and will play with all his toys in the home. He walks nicely on a leash and is not a big barker.

Paxton has had a difficult time getting potty training down, but he easily wears his assortment of fashionable belly bands in different colors and patterns. He was recently diagnosed with an exceptionally small bladder which the veterinarian thinks could be the reason Paxton struggles; despite this, he is very healthy. So, this cutie struts around looking hip with his colorful belly-bands and continues working on potty training. He just may be one of those dogs that gets to look stylish and prefers a fashionable belly band.

Paxton has no experience with children so we're recommending households with teens and older. The ideal adopter will have another small to medium sized playful dog in the home, and a securely fenced yard for play time. Paxton appears to have been not treated too kindly in his past, so he’d appreciate an understanding adopter to help him feel secure and loved. He is so worth the time and effort - he’ll love you forever!
