Description
Dog Breed: Boxer. Hi! My name is Marshmallow! Just like my name, I am a soft, sweet, big ball of white joy! I am very smart, calm, affectionate, and obedient! I know basic commands, will sit to get my food, house trained, and at night I sleep on the human's bed or my own bed. I am a very friendly girl who is kid and dog friendly, even sharing well and non reactive! It is unsure if I am cat friendly and do not live with any at this time so a proper introduction would be needed. If the humans are away, I relax in my crate. When I am freely roaming the home, I will find a cozy place to curl up and nap until they return. When outside I have good behavior and do not jump fences/gates but do get very curious about the dog next door and will poke my head under the fence or dig to go say hi. My foster mom does not like this and says it's not ladylike so we are working on that manner. I am pretty chill and will vocalize via grunts instead of barking, even if the other dogs in the house are barking. My foster mom says I snore when I sleep, but I don't mind and continue snoozing. Some of my favorite things are riding in the car and chewing on my doggy bone! If you think I would make 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.
