Description
Dog Breed: Boxer / Labrador Retriever / Mixed. Meet Griffin! He’s been our weekend “roommate,” and we can confidently say he’s an absolute sweetheart. Griffin is a 13-week-old Boxer/Lab/Pittie mix with the biggest heart and the gentlest little soul. He can be a little shy at first, but once he warms up, he is pure love and snuggles. He’s the kind of puppy who plays hard for a bit and then fully commits to a long nap like it’s his job. He’s had a full, busy day of adventures—running errands, visiting Petco, and enthusiastically attacking dandelions like they personally offended him. He’s also been learning leash manners and is doing great, even if he occasionally gets a little too excited and does the cutest puppy stumbles. Griffin also spent the night with us and was a complete gentleman. Not a single accident all day or overnight, and he never once had an issue in his crate—even while we were gone for about 3½ hours. He settled in quietly from bedtime until about 6:30 AM, only letting out one tiny bark around 2 AM… and then promptly went right back to being calm and content. Truly a very well-mannered pup. He’s been fantastic with our dog, Penny—though he is very interested in being her best friend (and possibly more ), while she politely reminds him she has boundaries. He really is a special little guy. Apply here: projecthopearf.rescuegroups/forms/form?formid=6707

Breed overview
Overview:
The Boxador, a popular designer dog, is a lively crossbreed resulting from the union of a Boxer and a Labrador Retriever. Originating in North America, this hybrid was developed to combine the best traits of its parent breeds, creating a loyal and energetic companion. Physically, Boxadors are medium to large-sized dogs with a muscular build, typically weighing between 50-80 pounds. Their coat is short and dense, varying in color from brindle and fawn to black and chocolate, often displaying the distinctive Boxer mask or the gentle Lab expression. Temperamentally, they are known for being friendly, intelligent, and highly social, making them excellent family pets that thrive on interaction. While adaptable, their energy levels mean they require regular exercise and are best suited for homes with yards rather than small apartments. Prospective owners should be aware of potential health concerns inherited from their parent breeds, such as hip and elbow dysplasia, certain cancers, and heart conditions like aortic stenosis.
