Meet Twix Life hasn’t given Twix the easiest beginning. This sweet boy was rescued from a bad situation in the Bronx, and now he finally has the opportunity to start over and find the loving home he deserves. Twix is a sweetheart with a whole lot of love waiting to be shared. He deserves a family who will give him patience, kindness, and all the little things that make a dog’s life wonderful: a cozy place to sleep, fun adventures, gentle guidance, and people who will always be there for him. His next chapter should be filled with happiness, security, and plenty of love. Could Twix be the missing piece in your family? Please remember that adoption bios are only a snapshot of each animal. Reach out to our Adoption Team for additional information about Twix and to learn if he may be the right fit for your home. All dogs will be altered, microchipped, and receive age-appropriate vaccines prior to adoption. Interested in adopting or fostering? Need more info on this dog?
