SARGE IV - BOXER DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Boxer. Hi! My name is Sarge! I am a handsome 8 year old fawn boy that is on the hunt for my forever home after being found as a stray in the Galveston area. I am an 85lb boy with very low energy. I am crate trained, leash trained, and house trained but will have an occasional poop accident in the house if I don't get my daily walk the day before. I prefer to do 'my business' on my walks and keep my yard clean but I will go outside with coaxing and do my business if I must. I prefer to be inside laying around unbothered, so being outside is not my jam! When outside against my wishes, I do not dig, attempt to jump fences/gates, or try to run away. My walks are short and sweet and take 2-3x longer because I move slowly and take my time. There is a 10 year old beagle in my foster home and we do well together with occasional cuddles. I do not play with toys, balls, or people. I am not a fan of water or baths but if I am forced in the tub I will stand there and accept it. I am such a good boy that I am trusted to free roam the house outside of a crate while the humans are working. I will follow humans everywhere and can be considered a Stage 5 Clinger velcro dog. I do not willingly go on couches or beds and basically have to be put on them to cuddle. I have been around a 10 year old high energy human kid and did great and was very tolerant of him hugging and petting me constantly, so my foster mom believes I would do well with older kids that won't require me to play with them. It's unsure if I am cat friendly but I was spunky with a bird outside so I may not be a fan. My foster mom thinks I would do best in a low energy home with older dogs because I do like the company of dogs that aren't interested in playing. Although I look clinically depressed, I love attention! I'm the biggest sweetheart and need all the love and attention! If you are looking for a slow paced, low maintenance, loving guy, contact the rescue today and give them my name because I am waiting to meet you!
