Description
Dog Breed: Boxer. Hi! My name is Jip! I am a handsome 4-5 year old white boxer boy with the most beautiful amber eyes! Prior to joining the rescue, it appears I had a rough life living outside on a chain as evident by a scar from my collar, having bite marks all over my body perhaps from other dogs attacking me, and concrete wear marks from laying in the concrete alot. I have fully adjusted to living inside of a home and am searching for my forever home! I am easy going and will do whatever the family is doing or chill on my own. I am young and get excited when meeting new people and will greet them with a 'hug' but I am working on that manner! I know basic commands, respond well to correction if playing too rough, doggy door trained, house trained, crate trained, and leash trained! I currently live with two kids (ages 11 and 13 years) and am great with them, but will try to take food from them that I've never seen before to see if I like it. I also do not know my size and may accidentally knock a child over so I would do best in a home with older kids. My ideal family would be one that will be very loving and not bothered by the constant need of affection or love because I love to hug, kiss, and show affection to anyone! I live with two middle aged dogs and over time once I learned that they wouldn't hurt me and were my friends, I was fine and no longer growled or snipped. After slow introductions and I see the dog won't hurt me, I am able to build trust and become friends! I am still learning to share toys so supervision is needed if other dogs and toys are present. I currently feed separately to help me know that I will get my own food. I love to ride in the car, go for walks, give hugs and kisses, lay on the couch and bed with the humans, toys, bones, play fetch with a tennis ball, and run zoomies in the backyard! If you think I would make a great fit for your family and are patient to continue helping me learn the good life and that I will be loved, 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.
