Nucka (A141295) is a 9-year-old Boxer mix who weighed 42.6 pounds on intake! 03/04/26 This shy but sweet girl is Nucka! Nucka was surrendered to the shelter with a group of smaller dogs, but other than that, we do not know much about her past. While at the shelter, she has done a good job at keeping her kennel accident-free, indicating that she might be housebroken. However, it is important to remember that there is always an adjustment period as dogs adjust to their new home and schedules. While at the shelter, Nucka's ears became painful and were checked by our shelter veterinarian who found ear mites! Nucka's ears were cleaned, and she was treated with Revolution and given medication to help with how painful they were. Her new owners should follow up with their own vet, as she should receive two more monthly doses. Even though Nucka has reached her senior years, she still has a lot of life to live! She still enjoys getting outside for walks but also enjoys a nice blanky to curl up on. Courtesy of the shelter fund, Nucka was sent out for a dental cleaning and is in tip-top shape! If you are interested in meeting Nucka, please let us know!
ABOUT: BOXER DOG BREED
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.
