Description
Dog Breed: Boxer. 6/7/2025 Gus Walters is an owner surrender looking for a new home. Hi! My name is Gus Walters! I am a handsome 6.5-year-old flashy fawn boy that is an owner surrender due to my family downsized and I no longer am getting along with the other dog in the home. I am described as friendly, active, playful, and protective! I am selective on my dog friends, especially in small spaces and if they play too rough so a proper meet and greet is encouraged, but I would do best as an only dog. I currently live with six kids (ages 6-15 years old) and do well with them! I have never lived with a cat so it is uncertain if I am feline friendly and would need a proper introduction. I am house trained, crate trained, and at night I sleep on the human's bed or in my kennel! If the humans must be away and I am left alone, I am initially vocal because I want to go with them, but I will eventually lay down and sleep and am not destructive. I do not like lawnmowers and will start barking at them when they are being operated. When outside I have good behavior and do not dig or attempt to jump fences/ gates. Some of my favorite things are riding in the car, playing tug of war with rope toys, squeaky toys, and walks! I will even howl in joy when I squeak my squeaky toys! If you think I would be a great addition to your family, contact the rescue today and give them my name because I am waiting to meet you!

Overview:
The Boxer is a medium-sized, short-haired dog breed of German origin, known for its distinctive appearance and vibrant personality. Physically, Boxers possess a strong, athletic build with a characteristic square head, an undershot jaw, and often a docked tail and cropped ears (though these practices are becoming less common). Their short, glossy coat typically comes in fawn or brindle, often with white markings. Temperamentally, Boxers are renowned for being incredibly loyal, intelligent, and energetic, making them fantastic companions for active families. They thrive on human interaction and can be playful and patient with children, making them excellent family pets. While their energy levels require regular exercise, their adaptability means they can adjust to apartment living if their activity needs are consistently met. However, potential owners should be aware of certain health considerations, including a predisposition to some cancers, heart conditions like cardiomyopathy, and hip dysplasia, underscoring the importance of responsible breeding and regular veterinary check-ups.
