Pumba is a beloved, kind-hearted, and loyal warthog.....er...dog. He is every bit as endearing as his namesake, and foster mom is smitten.
He gets along great with his foster humans and his canine foster siblings instantly became smitten. He did pass his cat test in Mexico and we haven't had a chance to re-test him here.
You may ask, "if not warthog, why warthog shaped" and we admit that he may have a few pounds to lose. He appreciates walks and adventures, but in small doses. Perhaps shedding a few pounds may add a bit of passion for long walks. Either way, he has pep in his step and has the very best happy dance.
If you think Pumba sounds like your next family member, check out adoption and application information at www.dibsrescue.com. His adoption fee is $750. If you are a family with kids, please check out our resources on kids and dogs before you apply (https://dibsrescue.com/kids-dogs/).
ABOUT: BOXER DOG BREED
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.
