Description
Dog Breed: Boxer (medium coat). This senior boxer lady is so sweet and playful and curious. She may no longer operate the max speed always, but she's still got plenty of gas in the tank. Slower, steadier, sweeter- sounds like a better deal to me. She walked well on leash and was more than happy to meet a new friend. Mostly unimpressed by the noisy other dogs, she really just wanted to enjoy her time, literally stopping to smell the flowers, playing with toys, tolerating me putting toys on her head(unimpressed by that one) and getting lots of love and scratches. Lots of folks hesitate about adopting older pets- worried about the timeline-which I get. But you have to think of the quality vs the quantity. Older dogs get It- they know how to connect, appreciate and enjoy every moment. They require less training and demand less of your energy to keep them entertained. They're also a lot less likely to eat your shoes. Mississippi is gorgeous, sweet, confident, smart and basically a great catch. If you're interested in a friend like that, head into #burbankanimalshelterand meet her for yourself.

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.
