Boxer and Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption in Akron, Ohio

Meet Matcha aka matcha latte


Age: estimated around 1-2 years old.
Weight: 40 lbs.
Breed: boxer mix.


This sweet girl was found abandoned in a car with another dog and was dangerously underweight. Now Matcha is a healthy, medium sized dog and she's learning what a good life looks like.

Even with her rough start to life she's still a very happy, loving, carefree pup. Matcha loves playing with other dogs and snuggling on the couch (especially under the blanket). She's obsessed with all toys but anything with a squeaker is her favorite. Toys don't last long with her so be prepared to clean up fluff but she will leave your shoes/pillows alone.

We're learning that Matcha does have some fear based reactivity when meeting new people but once you earn her trust she's a total love bug so say goodbye to personal space. She tends to be more fearful of men which leads us to believe she may have previously been abused but if you give her some time, treats or a new toy she'll eventually be your best friend.

Matcha doesn't love the vet although I can't say I blame her. Previous appointments have required muzzling, calming meds and mild sedation but it's possible she could overcome her fears with time. Matcha is crate trained and potty trained but she does think baby gates are her own personal hurdles to jump.

Matcha would probably do best in a home with older children due to some of her puppy tendencies and she would like another dog but one isn't required. If you feel capable of giving Matcha the time, patience and support needed along with a fraction of the love she'll give you, please fill out an application to meet this sweet girl so she can finally have a loving family of her own.

Matcha is spayed, microchipped, up-to-date on vaccines, and current on heartworm, flea, and tick prevention. Matcha's adoption fee is $200. Ready to Make Matcha part of your family? Begin by completing an adoption application at www.rescue330.org.

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.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
