Description
Dog Breed: Boxer (short coat). Adoption Fee: $374.06 includes all applicable MN sales tax. UPDATE 2/6/25 FROM KELLY: Drago sure has come a long way since he first arrived here at Prestige. Drago had kenneling issues, trust, confidence and manners issues. These have all been worked on and corrected with a strong leader he would be your best friend and loyal companion, couch buddy, foodie, he loves being outside, basking in the sun while you do yard work. He lives for his food and affection. Drago really is a very good boy! I know the perfect family is out there for him! 5/5/26: Drago is still in need of a foster or adoptive home. His perfect family will need to offer him leadership and structure and lots and lots of exercise. Drago has been in the "foster system" for quite a while and he will need some decompression time and patience to adjust to being back in a home. Drago is very food, treat and attention motivated He is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, and has been on monthly preventatives. He requires daily allergy medication year round and will need to be an a grain free and/or limited ingredient food due to allergies, more prevalent in the spring and fall. Drago also takes Phycox for a wonky left front leg that does not seem to bother him or slow him down at all, it is believed to be from an old untreated injury. He has done well with some other dogs, fosters/trainers Kelly & Josh can offer more information on that. He has not been around cats, we would say a home with no cats would be best. Drago would likely do OK with older, dog-savvy kids. We know it's asking a lot (but he deserves a lot!!) but we would love to see him in a home as an only dog where he would receive all of the attention and a home where he would be able to run and play to his heart's content Please consider welcoming this handsome hunk into your heart and home

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.
