Description
Dog Breed: Boxer. 6/16/2026 Rufus IV is an owner surrender looking for a new home. Hi! My name is Rufus IV! I am a handsome 1.5 year old white boxer boy that is an owner surrender due to being too high energy for the other dogs in the home. I am described as friendly, active, playful, and affectionate! I currently live with two small dogs and don't bother them much but I will take things from them if I want to and need to be fed alone because I am stingy with my food. It is uncertain if I have ever lived with a cat and if I am feline friendly. There are no kids in my home but my owner's 10 year old grandson visits every weekend and I am good with him! I am crate trained but will need assistance learning house training manners. At night I sleep on the human's bed and if they must be away, I am fine in my crate. If I am in my crate while the human is home, I will howl for about 30 minutes because I want to be where the people are! If food is left out or the trash is where I can get to it, I will help myself so food should be stored off the counter and trash cans in a closed off area. When outside I do not dig or attempt to jump kiddie gates/fences, but I am strong and have pushed a gate open. Some of my favorite things are riding in the car, chewing toys, getting alot of affection, and being with the humans! If you think I would make a great addition to your family, contact the rescue 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.
