Description
Dog Breed: Boxer. Hi! My name is Theo but my foster family calls me "Toby"! I am a handsome 10 year old flashy fawn boy that was part of a loving home but after my dad went into a nursing home I spent time with family, at a shelter, and with two rescue foster homes. I'm now looking for my forever home that will give me all the love and attention! I am pensive and quiet, well mannered inside and outside, love to be touching humans all of the time, likes to drink from the hose when watering the garden, enjoy snacks and treats, sniffin my toes and cats, giving kisses, and only barking when someone is walking on the sidewalk! I love going for walks or car rides, but not a fan of crowds like Home Depot. I am house trained and leash trained! I am trusted to have full range of the home when the humans are away and usually go from couch to human's bed and nap, so no need for crating. I currently live with a cat who mostly swats at me unprovoked, but I don't care and am not reactive. I can be a little reactive to small dogs who run up to me off leash but love meeting cool dogs and have stayed with a foster family with 2 and 10 year old boxers and we are buddies! I am an active boy that can easily do a 3 mile per day walk, heat withstanding. I would do best in a fun household with dogs and a family that has someone home at all times, although I do fine with a working foster parent and mean cat brother. I am a sweet gentleman but l will remind the humans that it's time to go to bed at 10pm sharp. If you think I would make a great addition to your family, contact the rescue today and give them my name 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.
