Description
Dog Breed: Boxer. 5/4/2026 Big Boy is an owner surrender looking for a new home. Hi! My name is Big Boy! I am a handsome 10 year old fawn boy that is an owner surrender due to not adjusting to my current apartment living and needing to find a forever home. I am a proud member of the rescue's Silver Heart program so be sure and ask about it because there are alot of perks for my adoptive family! I am described as friendly, calm, affectionate, and quiet! I currently live with another dog and get along well with her! We play together and I do not get aggravated or annoyed with her. I have never lived with a cat so it is unsure if I am feline friendly. There is a 6 year old human in my current home and I am said to be kid friendly! I am not house trained or crate trained and will need assistance with that in my forever home, possibly benefiting from a doggy door. At night I sleep on the floor next to the humans bed and if the humans must be away, I will cry or will have accidents if left alone. When outside I have good behavior and do not dig or attempt to jump fences/gates! I am fearful of thunder and will become very anxious and pace when I hear it. If I am left alone with trash or food on the counter, I will dig in the trash for treasures or help myself to the food. Some of my favorite things are riding in the car and relaxing! My current owner says I am a "very very sweet dog" that spent all of my previous life outdoors. If you think I would make a great addition to your family and you can provide the proper patience and attention to help me become the best inside boy, contact the rescue today and tell them you are wanting to meet Silver Heart Big Boy 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.
