Black Labrador Retriever and Boxer Dogs Available for Adoption

Guess who’s ready to bounce into your heart? It's me Bastian — your future best friend, adventure buddy, and professional cuddle expert! At 7 months old and about 30 pounds, I’m a Lab/Boxer mix who’s growing into a handsome medium-sized boy. I may still be a puppy, but I’ve already got a lifetime of love ready to give. I am almost house trained and working on my crate and leash training. I’m a very high-energy guy who would love a home with a fenced yard where I can zoom, play, and stretch these puppy legs. I get along great with other dogs and I really enjoy meeting new friends. Sometimes I just get so excited that other pups need a little break from me — I can’t help it, life is just THAT exciting! I do best with older children who can handle my bouncy enthusiasm. When I was rescued, I was very starved, so mealtime is my absolute favorite time of day. I get so excited about food that I need a slow feeder bowl to help me pace myself. What can I say? I’m just really grateful for every bite. I’m sweet, loving, and I adore cuddling just as much as I love playing. My bark is loud and squeaky (it’s pretty adorable if I do say so myself). More than anything, I just want love and a family to call my own. If you’re ready for a life full of tail wags, playtime, snuggles, and unconditional love, I’ll be waiting to meet you.

My adoption fee is $150 and includes my spay/neuter, vaccinations, wellness exam, heartworm test, and microchip!
