Description
Dog Breed: Boxer. Hi! My name is Dapper! I am a 4 year old super sweet, cuddly, boxer boy that is looking for my forever home! I am leash trained and house trained! I will tolerate being crated for a few hours at a time, but beyond that I do not like it but will go in it and nap while unlocked. It is unsure sure how I am with other dogs or cats but while staying overnight at the temp foster I was nonreactive to the Chihuahua, even when it was laying in my bed (I was crated). I also met other dogs at Adoption Days and was excited but didn’t have time to properly meet them. I do get a little anxious when the humans first leave but soon gets over it and am non destructive if freely roaming in the home. I love car rides, playing tug of war, and take treats very gently! I’m a big guy and haven’t learned that yet, so I might not be good with small children because I could accidentally knock them over. If you think I would make a great addition to your home, contact the rescue today and give them my name because I am waiting to meet you! If you're interested in fostering a dog, please fill out the Foster Application austinboxerrescue/ways-to-help/foster/ If you're interested in adopting a dog, please fill out the Adoption Application austinboxerrescue/adoption-application/ Our volunteers will work with you to find the best dog for your home. Dapper is being virtually fostered by Cindy McWhirter, thank 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.
