Description
Dog Breed: Boxer. Olive was living in a cemetery, heavily pregnant and completely alone. By the time she was finally caught, she had delivered her newborn puppies outside. Somehow, despite everything, those puppies survived. They are now healthy, thriving, and have adoptions pending. But Olive’s story is different. We chose to hold Olive back because she is so emotionally scarred from her past. We were actually able to locate her previous owner, who had given her away a few months earlier and had no interest in taking her back. Somewhere along the way, someone hurt Olive badly. We may never know exactly what happened to her, but it was obvious from the beginning that she was terrified of life itself. Eye contact scared her. Loud noises and vibrations terrified her. Quick movements made her panic and run. For months, her foster mom has patiently worked to show Olive that she will never hurt again. And yesterday, something happened that brought foster mom to tears. For the first time , Olive approached her to be pet. No convincing. No coaxing. No backing away in fear afterward. It was the first time Olive chose affection for herself. We will never fully know what these dogs endured as strays or with previous owners. But while we wait for the perfect forever home for Olive, her foster mom will continue coddling her, protecting her, and showering her with the love she deserves. Now it’s Olive’s turn to be babied.

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.
