Boxer and Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption in Minneapolis, Minnesota

Duchess is redefining what it means to be ladylike. She sits when asked, but also falumphs herself down where she pleases. She shlops and splooshes her water when she drinks, and loves her food so much she lays down and hugs her bowl while she munches. At night, you might hear some snoring coming from her crate, but that’s the most vocalization she’s done since her arrival. And her matching socks on all 4 paws make her look quite proper!

Duchess is polite to other dogs, but some larger ones make her nervous. She is working on remembering her potty training skills in her new environment and is making progress in just a few days.

This lady will thrive in a quiet and patient home. If you look into her eyes and see your next soul dog, know that she has few requirements: treats and a soft place to lay, preferably next to a snuggly human.

Duchess is estimated to be 6 years old and 68 lbs. Since we don’t know the dog’s actual genetics, this is just a guess on breed and size when grown. All dogs have had a vet examination, are up to date on all vaccinations, have been given dewormer and heartworm prevention. Dogs over 7 months have been heartworm tested.

If you are interested in meeting this dog please complete the adoption application on our website at https://safehandsrescue.org/adoption-process/ and then we can contact you about setting up a meeting.

We are also holding the following upcoming adoption events!

Please note: All dogs/puppies will not be at every event, and some may find their home prior to the event. If you are interested in a specific animal, please check our Facebook page for confirmed attendance the morning of the event: https://www.facebook.com/safehandsrescue/

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.

To create a world where all companion animals are loved, respected and have a home.
