6/22/26-As far as boxers go, they dont get much easier than Bronx. He has blended in beautifully with our pack. Bronx loves sleeping in bed and he is particularly attached to my husband! He is sweet, he is so easy and he is a true love. We have cats in our house and he could care less. He walks by the cats and doesnt even give them a glance. He is truly the total package.

6/20/26-Well, the first night is over and it was not exactly easy. All this big boy wants to do is sleep in bed. One of my dogs is jealous. Lol The other two dogs dont care. We will get there. Bronx is so sweet. He does not care about the cats! he is perfect!! Oh and he likes cottage cheese. He is such a love.

6/19/26-Say hello to Bronx! He is a sweetheart of a boy. He can also be by himself or with another dog. Hes the whole package. He is fitting in fantastically with the foster pack of dogs. Hes gentle & submissive, just wants to chill with everyone and get a little exercise every day. Hes a big boy & is going to work on his Beach-body abs. Lol. He will be ready for his new home very soon after we get to know him & his needs a little better.

6/18/26-Bronx is a 7 year old handsome male boxer owner surrender coming into rescue tomorrow. The current family took him in a year ago which was supposed to temporarily for a family member going through a divorce that was losing his house. He lived the past year with a newborn & 8 yr old child & a pug & was good with all. In his previous home he was good with a cat too. This current home works full time & have a busy house with their adult daughter & young grandchildren living there too, and there is never enough time for poor Bronx. They are also in the process of moving so lots going on. They said he is healthy and loves to be active, deserves a home who will walk and play with him every day. She said he is a big lap dog and is submissive, gets bullied by & respects the female pug in the house. There has never been any issues with jumping or biting the kids. They said he is pretty good on leash, is house trained, and has full roam of house during the day & not destructive. At night they put a gate up and he stays in the sunroom to sleep. Daphne said he likes to run but sticks around the yard when the family is outside. He has good recall but the yard is not fenced so they are always watching him.
