Boxer and Beagle Dogs Available for Adoption in Nashville, Tennessee

Say hello to Gallax, a 16-week-old Boxer/Beagle puppy who is looking for a home. Yes, Big Fluffy Dog Rescue has a Boxer, a Beagle, and their offspring. No, we are not taking questions at this time.

Gallax is a social, affectionate, very sweet puppy who is in the magical middle of gentle and playful. He likes people, enjoys attention, and has the soft, easygoing temperament that makes him feel like he could slide into just about any home. His mom and dad are both lovely dogs too, so this was not a personality fluke. The whole family appears to have been issued the nice-dog software. And then there is the coloring. Gallax is spectacular. Graphic and bold, he goes with every decor. Farmhouse, mid-century, maximalist, sad beige, whatever you are doing over there, Gallax will improve it.

He is still a baby, so he needs all the normal puppy things: training, patience, supervision, routine, and someone prepared to explain repeatedly that shoes are not legally classified as toys. But he is a very good puppy with a very good start, and we think he is going to make some lucky family ridiculously happy.

All known information about an individual dog is provided in its listing. We do our best to provide accurate information, but adopters should understand that each home is different and the dog may behave differently in a new home. Dogs are creatures of their environment and you help make the dog what it will be.

Homes considering adopting a puppy must be prepared for 1.) Flexible schedules for potty training. Puppies can only hold it for one hour per month of age (i.e. a 4-month-old puppy can only go 4 hours without a potty break). 2.) Crate training until the puppy is at least one year old to prevent chewing on inappropriate things when you can't supervise. 3.) Socialization. The more positive and varying experiences as a puppy the better, both in and out of your home. 4.) Puppy behavior and life stages are equivalent to a human toddler. It takes at least a full year to have a calmer, well-adjusted dog. Patience is required and when your dog's behavior is a positive experience for you and those around you, your patience will be rewarded ten-fold, for years to come. Please do not consider adopting a puppy if you have not thoroughly thought through the pros and cons of having one. So many people end up returning them after 3-5 months because they didn't realize the amount of work involved in raising a puppy. Patience, appropriate toys, socialization, and obedience training are all musts. All are time-consuming and can be expensive. All dogs require supervision with children and obedience training. Adopters that want to have good dogs must be prepared to put the time and effort into training a dog. Any dog requires work and effort, but a well trained, well-socialized dog is more than worth the effort to get them there.
