Boxer Dogs Available for Adoption in Pleasanton, California

Meet Penny, a cuddly, mellow boxer ready to find her forever home. Penny is 5 years old, and is a petite 50 pounds.

In foster care, Penny has been an excellent house guest! She is completely potty trained and has not had any accidents. Penny happily goes in her crate to rest and settles in while you’re home, and is learning that it’s okay to be left alone. Penny has excellent leash skills and enjoys a walk around the block with minimal pulling. Penny also enjoys a car ride, sitting quietly in the backseat looking out the windows.

Penny’s energetic puppy days are behind her, and she prefers to lounge and calmy follow people around the house. At night, Penny proven to be trustworthy outside of her crate, snuggling up on a dog bed or couch, and she is also working on crate training at night. She has yet to chew or show any destructive behaviors!

At the shelter, Penny tested well with both male and female dogs and is currently living happily with another dog. Penny would do well with an existing dog in the household or would be happy to be an only dog.

Penny is wary around new people, but opens up within a few hours to show her cuddly side. She is eager to please, and has proven to be a quick learner. She would do well in a patient home that would give her time to open up and show her goofy side.

Penny is patiently waiting to meet her forever family. If you are interested in adopting Penny, please complete our application at 1luckydogrescue.org or reach out to Patricia at olveiry@yahoo.com with a little information about the home you’d offer Penny.
