Eden - Boxer Dog for Adoption in St. Catharines, Ontario

This dog will arrive to Grimsby, ON on October 17

Eden is a happy, affectionate girl who greets life with a whole lot of enthusiasm! She absolutely loves her people and is always ready for an adventure, whether that means going for a walk, hitting the trails, playing in the yard, or simply hopping in the car for a ride.

Eden is friendly and outgoing with people and loves meeting new friends. She’s eager to please and walks well on leash, although her excitement can sometimes mean she forgets to keep all four paws on the floor. She also enjoys playing with other dogs, especially those who can match her energy, but she would be perfectly happy being the only dog in her home.

This girl has a zest for life, and would make an excellent hiking, running, or adventure companion. As an active puppy, Eden will need basic obedience training. Eden is also a talkative girl and would not be suited to apartment or condo living.

If you’re looking for an enthusiastic, affectionate adventure buddy who will be just as excited to see you as she is to hit the trails, Eden could be your girl!
