Boxer Dogs Available for Adoption

Dino is a playful, energetic pup who loves his toys and thrives around other dogs who can match his enthusiasm for fun. He enjoys playtime and would do best with canine friends who appreciate his lively spirit. While he is full of energy, he also benefits from a family who can help build his confidence and gently guide him as he continues growing into himself.

Dino has a sweet, snuggly side and he absolutely loves to cuddle after he has had some playtime. He is a wonderful walking companion, does great on leash, and enjoys his daily strolls. He already knows sit and lay down, and he is eager to keep learning. With continued training, structure, and positive reinforcement, this smart boy is sure to thrive.

Dino can be a bit nervous sometimes when meeting new people, but with patience and gentle introductions he warms up beautifully and becomes incredibly affectionate. Once he feels safe, his loving personality really shines. Dino has some experience with children and seems to enjoy them, especially when they are respectful and understand he is still a young, energetic pup. He has not lived with cats before, but he has shown playful curiosity around them, so slow and thoughtful introductions would be important.

Dino has a condition called psychogenic polydipsia, which means he tends to drink more water than necessary due to habit or anxiety rather than a medical issue. He’s been fully evaluated by a vet and is otherwise healthy. He does need his water intake monitored to make sure he doesn’t overdo it, but with a consistent routine and supervision, he does great. He’s a happy, loving boy who just needs a little help pacing himself at the water bowl.
