Twix's Story
Diamond in the Rough: Meet Twix!<br/>If you walked past Twix's kennel today, you might keep walking. You'd hear the barking and see the "tough guy" act, and you'd think, "Not that one".<br/><br/>But you'd be missing out on the best dog in the building.<br/><br/>Twix is a 2-year-old Australian Shepherd/Blue Heeler mix who has spent over a year behind bars. For Twix, that kennel isn't a home - it's a scary place he feels he has to defend. His "aggression" is actually just a big, loud "I'm Scared!" from a sensitive boy who hasn't found his person yet.<br/><br/>The Real Twix (Once the Gate Opens):<br/>The Perfect Travel Buddy: He loves car rides and is always ready for an adventure.<br/><br/>Good with other dogs and people after a low key introduction. It's a big NO to cats.<br/><br/>A Total Gentleman: He's a dream on the leash - no pulling, just happy vibes.<br/><br/>The "Velcro" Mix: Being an Aussie/Heeler blend, he is incredibly loyal and smart. He just needs a job and a couch.<br/><br/>Health & Stats: 45lbs of pure muscle, fully vaccinated, and at the prime age of 2.<br/><br/>What Twix Needs:<br/>Twix needs a hero, who can see past the noise. He needs a patient adopter who understands that first impressions aren't everything. Once he's out of the shelter environment, that insecurity melts away, revealing the sweet, medium-sized companion he was always meant to be.<br/><br/>"He's a completely different dog once he's on the grass. He just needs someone to give him the chance to show it" - Volunteer Note<br/><br/>Ready to meet the real Twix?<br/>Don't let the kennel talk fool you. Come meet him outside, in the sunshine, where he can finally be himself.
