Description
Dog Breed: Boxer. 3/14/2026 Gus Walters is an owner surrender looking for a new home. Hi! My name is Gus Walters! I am a handsome 7.5 year old fawn boy that is an owner surrender due to changes in my family dynamics. I am described as smart, protective, and playful! I am dog selective and because of it I need to be the only dog in the home. I can be reactive to other dogs when passing during walks but settle after they pass. I am not a fan of small cats or animals so I need to be the only boy getting the love! There are five kids in my home (ages 10-16 years) and I have had exposure to kids as young as 5 years. After a proper introduction, I am good and gentle with them, even enjoying playing with my squeaky toys around them or laying near them on the floor or bed. When someone knocks on the door, I am a built in security system and will alert the humans. Once the people are inside, I am quiet and want to play. I am house trained, crate trained, know basic commands, and at night I sleep on the floor on the dog bed or in the kennel. If the humans must be away, I will cry when I see the humans leaving but will quiet down once they leave and go to sleep and am not destructive! When outside I have good behavior and do not dig or attempt to jump fences/gates. I do not like the sound of lawn mowers or tasers and will run to my kennel if I hear one on tv. I also do not like when my favorite ball rolls under the couch. Some of my favorite things are riding in the car, squeaky toys, howling in joy when I squeak my squeaky toys, balls, pup cups, playing tug of war, and going on walks! If you are looking for a loving boy that will gladly give hugs and kisses to you, contact the rescue today and give them my name because I am your guy and 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.
