Breed Info

Norfolk Terriers are small but mighty! They're known for their spirited energy, courage, and affectionate nature. A Norfolk mix like Xolo typically weighs around 12-16 pounds and thrives in homes that give both playtime and cuddles. They're alert, smart, and make wonderful companions for active or relaxed families alike.

Owner Responsibilities

Provide daily walks, stimulation, and playtime to satisfy his terrier instincts.

Offer love, structure, and consistency - he's happiest with routine and gentle guidance.

Keep up with regular vet care, heartworm prevention, grooming, and nutrition.

Be patient and understanding as he adjusts to a new rhythm of life.

Things to Consider

Before adopting, think about:

Do you have time for daily attention, affection, and exercise?

Is your landlord pet-friendly and does your home allow dogs?

Are you prepared for the lifelong costs of vet care, grooming, and food?

Do you plan to stay in a stable home and routine for years to come?

Every dog needs patience - especially rescues who may need time to trust again.

The 3-3-3 Rule

First 3 days: Everything feels new. Xolo will need space, comfort, and calm reassurance.

First 3 weeks: He'll start learning your home, your schedule, and your heart.

First 3 months: Trust blossoms, and he'll know he's truly home - safe, loved, and understood.

❤️ Commitment for Life

Adopting Xolo means promising to be his forever family - through every season, every adventure, and every wag of his tail.

Why Xolo Would Be a Great Addition
