Boxer and American Staffordshire Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption

Izzy

WHAT IS YOUR NAME?
Izzy (short for Isabella because I’m so bella!)
 
ARE YOU A GIRL OR A BOY?
I’m a gorgeous girl! 
 
HOW OLD ARE YOU?
I was born on November 29, 2018. 

WHAT BREED ARE YOU?
Just the most perfect Boxer/Pit Bull mix!

HOW MUCH DO YOU WEIGH?
I’m 80 pounds of pure love! 

WHAT DO YOU LOOK LIKE?
I’m a classic, fawn Boxer beauty with soulful brown eyes and natural black eyeshadow.

WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO EAT?
I’ll pretty much eat anything but have a soft spot for cheese! Can you blame me, though? Cheese is life!

WHAT KIND OF PERSONALITY DO YOU HAVE?
I am goofy and playful but also love a good cuddle sesh. I’m loyal to my humans and adore little kids! 

DESCRIBE YOUR PERFECT DAY:
Oh that’s easy! My perfect day would start with a long walk, popping some bubbles or chasing a ball, then some quality couch time with my humans, followed by a nice long nap.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TOY?
Anything that squeaks will not squeak for very long when I get my paws on it! 

DO YOU KNOW ANY TRICKS?
I’m good with the basics, sit, stay, leave it, and wait! I am very food motivated, so if you want me to learn more, bring on the treats!

WHAT SCARES YOU?
On leash, I am sometimes nervous about other dogs, so I tend to react to tell them to stay away from me and my human!
 
HAVE YOU BEEN AROUND CHILDREN? DO YOU LIKE THEM?
I LOVE children, especially little ones! I am so tolerant of their shenanigans, although I appreciate when my humans step in when they start to get a little handsy with me! 

DO YOU LIKE CATS?
Oh, no thanks. I’ll pass on cats! 

HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT OTHER DOGS?
With slow, structured introductions, I should be alright with large dogs, but I do not want little dogs in my space. As I mentioned earlier, I can get uncomfortable with some dogs when on leash. I’m practicing and getting better, treats can help! 
 
IF YOU COULD BE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, WHERE WOULD IT BE?
It doesn’t matter where I am as long as we’re together. Right beside my human is the best place in the world! 

HOW IS YOUR HEALTH?
I’m very healthy!
 
WHO DO YOU LIVE WITH IN YOUR FOSTER HOME AND WHO IS YOUR CLOSEST COMPANION?
I live with two adults and two children under five years old. My foster mom is my super-favorite person in the world right now, although those littles sure are a lot of fun!
 
WHERE DO YOU HANG OUT WHEN YOU ARE HOME ALONE?
I chill. Sometimes on the couch, sometimes on the floor. I take myself out and like to find cool spots in the house.
 
WHERE DO YOU SLEEP?
Pretty flexible! Couch, floor, dog bed. A crate if I must, but I like crates the least.

DO YOU LIKE WALKING ON A LEASH?
A leash means walks! I love walking on a leash! 
 
DO YOU HAVE ANY "NOT-SO-GREAT" HABITS THAT WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT? FOR INSTANCE, DO YOU BARK OR DIG IN THE YARD?
Sometimes when I’m on leash I have a hard time telling between friend or foe. Even though I’m big, that doesn’t stop me from acting like a puppy. I am willing to learn, so let’s spend some time working together and have some fun bonding while you teach me what you want me to do!
 
ARE YOU HOUSE TRAINED? (MEANING DO YOU GO POTTY OUTSIDE)
Yes, I am! No problems there! Make sure you tell me where and I’ll stick to it.
 
DO YOU LIKE WATER?
I’m not much of a swimmer but I love getting in the water and playing with the hose. Maybe you can teach me how to swim?
 
WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR FOSTER FAMILY?
I love spending time with my foster family, especially all the cuddles. The best is when I get to hang out with the kids.

IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE TO TELL YOUR FUTURE ADOPTER?
I’m SO ready to start the next phase of my life with my forever family! Let’s do this!

The American Staffordshire Terrier, also known as the Amstaff, is a medium sized, muscular breed known for its loyalty and courage. Developed in the United States, they are intelligent and affectionate dogs, making them great family companions. With a distinctive short coat and strong build, American Staffordshire Terriers are often misunderstood due to their past as fighting dogs, but they are actually loving and playful pets when raised in a nurturing environment. They thrive on human interaction and are eager to please their owners.

The boxer is a medium to large sized dog breed known for its muscular build, distinctive square head, and energetic personality. Boxers are loyal, affectionate, and good natured companions, making them an ideal family pet. They are intelligent, playful, and love to be around people, making them excellent with children. Boxers require consistent training, plenty of exercise, and socialization to thrive. With their strong work ethic and protective instincts, boxers excel in various roles, including as service dogs, therapy dogs, and in dog sports.
