SKIP - BOXER / AMERICAN BULLDOG / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Posted Breed: Boxer / American Bulldog / Mixed (short coat). Adoption Fee: $541.88 (includes MN taxes). Update 9.30.24 Meet Skip! Age: Approximately 3 years old Personality: Sweet, affectionate, and always ready to wag his long tail—especially when he sees you! Training: Eager to learn and food-motivated but needs some additional training. He’s nervous at times with commands but really wants to please. Stranger Caution: Has some “stranger danger” when new people come to the door but is learning to calm down with training. Once he knows someone is friendly, he’s all about receiving pets! Dogs: Has done well playing with a female labradoodle. He shows interest in playing with other dogs when he sees them on walks, whining wanting to see what they are doing. He has met one other male boxer on leash but they did not hit it off. Overall I think he would do well living with another dog but just doing slow intros is always best. Good with Kids: Lived with kids before and did great, but like many boxers, he can be overly protective over the kids. Barking at the dad when hugging kids for example. It’s important that adults establish clear leadership. Energetic & Playful: Loves walks, playing outside, and is always on the hunt for squirrels! Leash Skills: Uses a gentle leader to keep him from pulling—he’s strong and full of muscle! Cuddly: Would love to cuddle on the couch but is happy sleeping on his own bed at night. Fully Potty Trained: Skip is kennel trained during the day, as he gets nervous when left alone outside of his crate. Non-Destructive: Not destructive but will pace when anxious. Loves to sniff around, so counters should be kept clear! Perfect Companion: Skip is full of love and will make a wonderful companion for someone with patience to help him continue learning and building trust. Skip is looking for a home where he can share all his love and wiggle his way into your heart!
