Boxer Dogs Available for Adoption in Stanwood, Washington

Mariposa means butterfly, and this darling girl has earned the name through her incredible transformation from malnourished, wounded and shutdown, to affectionate, playful, and strong. At approximately 4-5 years old and 40 pounds, Mari is a gentle and sensitive soul who gets along with all dogs and humans. Still healing from her amputation, Mari will need to be spayed before she goes home, but she's getting so close to being ready for a truly lucky adopter to snatch her up! Mariposa is being fostered in Spokane, WA.

She's laid back, loves her naps and simply being at your feet, but also enjoys a little playtime with foster siblings too. Being a tripod doesn't slow this girl down as Mari can still hop up on the couch, zip around with a Boxer spin or two, and even stretch up to "hug" you - her favorite way to connect after being apart. By nature, Mari is not a busy or high energy Boxer, just the perfect pocket princess with the softest fur to cuddle up to, and a desire to always be in your favor.

Great in the car, and quiet around the house, Mari is used to being in a kennel when left unsupervised. We have not had the opportunity to cat test her officially but suspect she would be very correctable if blended with cats. Mari seems to have a particular enthusiasm about small dogs, so she may have lived with one in her past life, but she's truly neutral with all of the dogs in her foster home and often chooses to cuddle pile with her foster siblings.

If you want that delicious snuggle bug vibe, with a little silly and a dash of sass, Mariposa is your girl. Once confident and settled in, Mari has the potential to run your days in the best possible way, and she's such a worthy girl of all the spoiling you can muster. If Mariposa sounds like a good fit for you, please fill out an application – www.mustluvboxersrescue.com/adopt.
