Description
Dog Breed: Boxer / Bulldog / Mixed (medium coat). Please contact Lowell Nelson (lowellnluckydoganimalrescue) for more information about this pet. Handsome and Strong BUTTERSCOTCH NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!! Name: Butterscotch Best Guess for Breed: Boxer/Bulldog Mix Best Guess for Age: 5 years as of Mar 2026 SEX: Male Approximate Weight: 36 lbs Gets Along With: Other dogs! We haven't seen them with cats or kids but we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters! Currently Living at: Shelter--needs a foster or forever home! Special adoption considerations: Butterscotch is a truly Lucky Dog. He tested positive for heartworms, but landed in a place where heartworm treatment is provided! Heartworm is not contagious to people or other pets, but results from mosquito bites. Heartworm, if left untreated, is life threatening, but after treatment, dogs that were heartworm positive should suffer no significant long-term effects so long as they are kept on a monthly heartworm preventative. Heartworm dogs can resume full active and normal lives, but need to be kept calm for 4-6 weeks after treatment. We are happy to discuss where in the treatment process this Lucky Dog is in right now! Just email the adoption coordinator - the address is at lower left! Butterscotch is Looking For: A family who appreciates a handsome, serious‑faced gentleman with a soft heart underneath. I’m a 5‑year‑old Boxer/Bulldog mix who may look stoic at first, but I’m really a sweet, loyal companion who loves calm walks, cozy naps, and being close to my people. If you want a steady, affectionate dog with a noble look and an even sweeter soul, I’m ready to go home with you. What My Foster Says About Me: Will update once we have a foster! Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken. All of our dogs are working on their crate training. TO ADOPT: The adoption fee for this dog is $475, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including vaccinations, spay/neuter, and heartworm treatment.

Breed overview
Overview:
The Bull-Boxer, a robust and charming hybrid, emerges from the crossing of the energetic Boxer and the sturdy Bulldog, creating a dog with a unique blend of traits. Originating in the late 20th century, these intelligent and affectionate companions typically inherit a muscular build, often featuring the Boxer's athletic frame combined with the Bulldog's broader head and sometimes a slightly undershot jaw. Their coat is usually short and dense, varying in color. Temperamentally, Bull-Boxers are known for being loyal, playful, and protective, making them excellent family pets who thrive on companionship. While adaptable, their moderate energy levels mean they appreciate a yard but can also adapt to apartment living with sufficient daily exercise. Potential owners should be aware of possible health considerations such as joint issues (like hip and elbow dysplasia) and brachycephalic-related breathing difficulties, especially in warmer climates, underscoring the importance of choosing a reputable breeder.
