Fluffy Xo Xo- ancient breed for modern love

They say ancient spirits walk among us. In Fluffy Xo Xo’s case, they also cuddle on your couch, do little dinner dances, and nap with cats. Yes the name is ironic given he is believed to be a Xoloitzcuintli (aka Mexican Hairless, and 100% magical.) Fluffy Xo Xo is lovingly known in his foster home as Xo Xo (pronounced Sho Sho), and he is a gentle, calm presence with a quiet nature. As a Xoloitzcuintli, he’s part of an ancient Aztec breed once believed to be spirit guides who helped carry souls safely to the afterlife. Today, Xo Xo considers himself an experienced guide to the fridge, your coziest blanket, or wherever his next head scratch might be waiting. Fluffy is estimated to be 4 years old, and weighs 46 lbs. Because he is a rescue, we cannot guarantee age or breed but the info is provided based on experienced veterinary observation. Fluffy is fortunate and is in a dedicated, multi-pet foster home Complete with an 11 y/o female pittie, a 1 y/o female pittie, 3 y/o male cat, and 8 y/o male cat, a 2 y/o female cat, and a 3 month old female kitten- he gets along beautifully with them all! We also introduced him to variety of other dogs to get a feel for the type of dog he gravitates to and what his play style is like. First, his on-leash greetings with each and every dog were calm, welcoming, and polite. The immediate and lasting connection he had was with a playful and friendly female pittie. When the dogs got to running and the play got rowdy, he was more observant than all-in, but he was unbothered by the wild energy. He would love a home with a happy-go-lucky female! He may have an air of mythical royalty, but don’t let the fool you into thinking his personality is ridgid—he’s got so much quirk and charm. He’s a lap-leaner, bone-burier, puzzle-lover, and if you time it right, you’ll get to see his famous “dinner dance,”complete with spins, foot taps, and a full-body wiggle that ends with one ear pressed to the floor and his tail swirling like a helicopter. The one area where he will need a bit of royal treatment is his skincare routine.Xo Xo is still healing from a rough past spent outdoors with no protection for his delicate skin in the brutal Texan sun. He’s hairless, besides the tuft of head fluff -his favorite spot for pets, and requires regular baths, sunscreen or protective clothing in strong sun, and moisturizing in dry climates. Think of him as your skincare-savvy friend, at-home spa days and pampering for you both. Because of his sensitive skin and gentle spirit, he’s looking for a calm, caring home with humans who will cherish his unique needs and quirks. He’d love a canine gal pal to share space with and he gets along fabulously with cats, he even tries to play with them!. He prefers quieter environments and may take a little time to fully open up, but once he does, he’s the kind of companion who stays close by your side—just like this ancient breed was meant to. He’s still learning the basics (like “sit” and “place”), but he’s easygoing, treat-motivated, house and crate-trained, and sleeps peacefully through the night. His foster family shared a few of his favorite things and they are worth bullet pointing He loves watching the world go by from the window or the front gate if he is outside. Dinner time! Enough said (he’s a foodie at heart) Squeaky plush toys, especially if you're excited about them too Chin scratches, forehead kisses, and being wherever you are. Velcro dog, sincere shadow… its what he was born to do. . Xo Xo may look otherworldly, but the kind of love he offers is very real. Quiet, loyal, a little shy at first—but once he trusts you, he’ll give you everything. He’s a once-in-a-lifetime kind of dog: rare, ancient, soulful, and absolutely unforgettable. If you’ve got the heart to give this velvet-skinned sweetheart the safe, adoring home he deserves, Fluffy Xo Xo just might be the guardian angel you didn’t know you were waiting for. Questions?
