Description
Dog Breed: Boxer. Hi! My name is Coco III! I am a darling 11 year old brindle girl whose previous owner passed away but I am ready to bring joy to your heart! I'm a pretty easy going lady. I sleep the majority of the day along with 12 hours at night but get very excited when my foster mom gets home from work! I run a pretty tight ship with my sleep and if the humans stay up too late, I will take myself to bed. I have not played with any toys since coming to my foster home but I love to follow the humans around the house to supervise what they're doing! I love going on walks and am friendly to dogs I meet, even though I will shake my back leg in fear and am very nervous at first. I'm not too interested in making new dog friends but will allow them to sniff me before I continue onward. When walking I could care less about squirrels or small animals and have no interest in running to chase them. I am house trained, leash trained, and have had interactions with 9 year old human twins and I love them and look forward to them coming over! I haven't had to do much crate training in my foster home and can be trusted to roam freely as long as there is no trash left out for me to rummage through. I used to live with a dog that I was not bonded with and a cat that I ignored, just like I do with other cats when I see or meet them. My foster mom says I am a great girl that is really an easy going, large house cat! She thinks I would do great in a home with other animals or by myself to be treated like the queen I am! 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.
