Description
Dog Breed: Boxer. 12/4/2025 Spike II is an owner surrender looking for a new home. Hi! My name is Spike II! I am a handsome 10 year old fawn boy that is an owner surrender due to my owner's health issues and other dogs in the home not getting along with me. I am described as friendly, active, playful, affectionate, and nervous! I do have some arthritis, but don't let that shy you away! I am a proud member of the rescue's Silver Heart program so be sure and ask about it because there are many perks for my adoptive family! I currently live with an English bulldog but it is no longer getting along with me and I get along best with dogs that are non reactive to me. I have never lived with a cat so it is uncertain if I am feline friendly. There are no children in my home but I have had extended exposure to my owner's 5 year old nephew and do great with him! I am house trained but will need assistance learning crate training manners in my forever home if it is required. At night I sleep on a dog bed on the floor and when the humans are away and I am left alone, I have separation anxiety because I want to be with them. When outside I have good behavior and do not attempt to jump fences/gates or dig. Some of my favorite things are my bed, chasing my laser, food, love, affection, and treats! If you think I would make a great addition to your family, contact the rescue today and tell them you are wanting to meet sweet Silver Heart Spike II 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.
