Smores - Boxer and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption

Meet Smores!

This handsome 2-year-old, 38-lb Basset mix is a sweet, lovable boy who is settling into his foster home beautifully. He walks very nicely on leash, is not reactive to people or other dogs, and has a calm, easygoing personality.
Smores gets along well with both men and women and listens well in the house-he's obedient, although he can be a little sneaky when he thinks he can get away with something! He does have a little interest in squirrels, but his reaction is very minimal. He is also a happy jumper, so that's something he's working on.

His biggest work-in-progress is crate training, but he's already making progress: after only two days in his foster home, he walked into the crate on his own, settled down, and even took a nap! With a little more patience and consistency, we think he'll learn to love his crate. We haven't had the opportunity to see him around children yet, but overall, he is a wonderful, affectionate boy who is doing great and has so much potential to be an amazing companion.

Smores is currently being fostered in Staten Island, NY and his adoption fee is $500.

To adopt this animal, please visit https://www.louieslegacy.org/adopt

All of our animals come spayed or neutered, up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, are microchipped, heartworm negative, current on flea/tick and heartworm prevention, dewormed, and treated for any ailments found upon veterinary examination. The adoption fee covers a portion of these services, and makes it possible for us to continue rescuing animals.

For more information on the adoption fees and the adoption process, please complete our adoption application here: https://www.louieslegacy.org/adopt - an application allows us to get to know your family better so we can assess whether the animal you are interested in is a good match for your home. An application does not obligate you to adopt. Please understand that due to the volume of applications some animals receive, we are unable to contact all applicants. If your application is considered a good fit for the animal you are interested in, or even a different pet, a volunteer will give you a call as soon as possible.

We are a foster based rescue and do not have a shelter location where animals can be seen during the week. Please see our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/LouiesLegacy for our weekly adoption album if you are interested in meeting an animal in person. Not all animals attend every adoption event, please check our Facebook page for animal event times and locations before you make a trip to meet a specific animal.

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.
