Boxer and Pit Bull Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption in Heathsville, Virginia

I’m a great companion but I will need to have all of your attention. I can’t tolerate other pets stealing any of the time I must have with you. I always have a smile on my face and endless love in my heart. As an older gentleman, I’m past the high-energy puppy stage, so I don’t need a ton of exercise, but I still have that goofy, lovable boxer personality that will keep you smiling every day.

Come meet me — I might just be the perfect addition to your family.
