Kardi - Boxer (short coat) Dog For Adoption

View more

in Seattle, WA. Through no fault of her own, Kardi found herself in the shelter when her family had a change in their living situation and couldn’t take her with them. This gentle girl has so much love to give and is ready to be someone’s devoted companion. At 8 years old, Kardi has outgrown the wild puppy phase and has become the ultimate couch potato. She loves nothing more than snuggling up on the bed or couch with her favorite people and spending lazy days by your side. And when you pet her, you’ll discover she has the softest fur you’ve ever felt on a Boxer. Kardi has shown herself to be wonderfully gentle with the toddler in her foster home, displaying the patient and kind temperament that makes her such a special girl. She’s also been a dream during grooming—she did great with her first bath and made it easy to keep her looking and feeling her best. She does have hip dysplasia, but she’s managing beautifully with weekly shots that keep her comfortable. She has no issues going up and down stairs and can still easily hop up for couch and bed snuggles, and she’s happy with gentle, leisurely activities that suit her pace. Kardi would do well either in a home with another dog or as a single dog. She’s doing fabulous with her foster fur-sisters and has truly flourished since being integrated into the pack, showing what a social and adaptable girl she is. She free-feeds and is great about not overeating, making mealtimes easy and stress-free. It’s only been a few weeks since Kardi was rescued from the shelter, and she’s still adjusting to her new normal. She sometimes has accidents in the house during the day if not taken out frequently, but she’s completely reliable at night, sleeping peacefully in her foster family’s room for over 10 hours without any issues. With patience, a consistent routine, and frequent potty breaks, she’ll continue to settle in beautifully. Kardi’s ideal forever home would be one with a work-from-home or retired family who can give her plenty of company and regular outdoor breaks. While she can handle stairs, a one-story living situation would still be ideal to make life easier on her hips long-term. She will thrive in a quiet, calm environment where she can enjoy her golden years in comfort. If you’re looking for a loyal companion to share your days with—someone who will be your shadow, your snuggle buddy, and your faithful friend—Kardi is waiting to meet you.
