DOLLY - BOXER (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Posted Breed: Boxer (short coat). Adoption Fee: $325.13 (includes MN taxes). Update 9.16.24 Dolly the Boxer! Dolly is the perfect little buddy for people who love dogs and want that wiggle butt greeting you when you come home, but aren’t down for the challenge of raising a puppy or of training a younger dog. Bonus: She lets you sleep-in in the morning! Dolly is believed to have been a former “mill mama”/breeder and has had a difficult life but you couldn’t tell it from her personality. One of the most affectionate and sweet dogs/boxers I’ve ever cared for, Dolly is content to lay on the couch with you or will follow you around and help you with whatever projects you’re working on. She loves attention and being petted and talked to, telling her what a good girl she is. Despite what is in her past, she still has the basic Boxer instincts of sweetness, sensitivity, loving people, and wanting to please you. Dolly is healthy, doesn’t appear to have any allergies, is spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped. Dolly will reluctantly go in her kennel but seems fine once she’s in it. I’ve left her out alone for short periods and she has done just fine. She happily sleeps in her own bed at night in your room but would also sleep on the bed with you if you’d let her! She is potty trained but I’m training her to signal us with a jingle bell as well. She loves food and treats (is motivated to learn with treats) and will definitely watch you eat but she’s well-mannered and I haven’t found her to be food protective at all (I’ve had to stick my hand in her mouth to see what she found on the floor and she didn’t resist). She also lets me pick her up and lets me clip her nails! After being a mill dog - and who knows what else she’s been through - she is dog reactive, so she would need to be the only dog in the home and she is also very interested in the local rabbit population so a fenced in yard would be ideal. She is all of the best parts of a dog and a boxer and will make a snuggly (and wiggly) addition to your family!
