Description
Dog Breed: Boxer. Hello! My name is Garth! I was saved from a shelter by the nice lady from Houston Boxer Rescue who said she would find me a great home! Can you believe someone didn't want this cute face? I think I'm pretty cute! I have lots of polka dots and a squishy pink face. I am still very much a puppy which means I have a lot to learn. I am still learning potty training and what I can and cannot chew on, but I hear Boxers are pretty smart so I think I will figure it out with some basic training and patience! Speaking of hearing...I am NOT deaf! I can hear just fine! I enjoy laying in the green grass and wrestling with my brother! I like to lay down in the grass like a baby fawn deer and be still so nobody can find me. I am a little shyer than my brother, but I still like to run and play with everyone and be near the action! I get along great with the other dogs in my foster parent's home, they have a female Boxer and a small male dog. I am unsure about people in hats and will bark at them, but I am still learning all the sights of outside the shelter. I am a little smaller than my brother, but not by much! People can't hardly tell us apart, but my foster mom knows exactly which ones we are. When I am done being cute, I like to lay on a big dog bed, or cuddle in your lap! I have been doing great sleeping in the kennel at night and during the day when my foster parents aren't home. My brother and I are sharing a big kennel! Please fill out an application if you think you could be my forever family! Transport Fee: Our basic transport fee is $300 for boxers traveling outside of Texas to their new homes in predetermined destinations(East Coast) using a trusted transport company. The transport is based on location and travel time. Note: Transport is not available within Texas or Louisiana.

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.
