Mildred - Boxer and Mixed Breed Dog Available for Adoption in Austin, Texas

Meet Mildred - the gentle-hearted girl who smiles when she sees you!

Mildred is a sweet, mellow pup with the perfect mix of calm and playful. She's happy to lounge quietly by your side while you work from home, but she's also always up for a backyard zoomie session or a good game of fetch. And when you come home after being away? Get ready to be greeted by the cutest smile - yes, she literally smiles with her lips pulled back in pure joy!

She's completely house-trained, non-destructive, and free-roams the house while you're gone. Mostly, she just wants a cozy spot on the couch while you're out. At night, she sleeps soundly on her bed in her foster's room and doesn't make a peep - even if you get up.

Mildred is polite and loving, but not demanding. She enjoys affection and being near her people, and she shows her appreciation with soft tail wags and happy snuggles. She has met young children (a 4-year-old and a baby!) and did great, so she may be a lovely fit for a family with kids of any age.

She hasn't lived with other pets yet, but she's shown calm interest in dogs and cats on walks. Her leash manners are coming along nicely - she's strong and very squirrel-focused, but she's already showing improvement. She knows "sit" and is happy to learn more!

Whether you're working from home or enjoying a quiet evening, Mildred is easy to have around and brings a steady, joyful presence to the house. She's loving, gentle, and just a touch goofy - and she's ready to find her perfect forever family.

Could Mildred be the one to make you smile right back?

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.
