MELLIE here and I'm a 1+ year old Boxer girl. I was lost on the streets of Houston and got picked up by the City and taken to their shelter. I was there for a bit and then the good people at HBR came and picked me up. I had caked on dirt, mud, and mites. Once I got cleaned up through many baths, I was hairless...and I was very, very stinky.
Luckily for me with medications and love, my hair is BACK and I'm starting to look really good! I have spent some time in my foster home and I get along with the other dogs that are here...there are no cats here, but I LOVE to chase squirrels and cats out of the yard, so my profile is NO CATS. I like my crate and I am mostly potty trained...and I'm very smart so I am learning.
I met a cat this week, and I'm not going to be good with cats or bunnies...yes, there is a BUNNY here in my part time foster home. I am way too interested and want to chase them. I also met a small human and I think he is pretty cool. So, I'm good with kids as well. I'm working on my potty training and my hair is starting to grow back.
As I am feeling better I have TONS of energy...which is common for a young Boxer girl like me. I like to play with other dogs, but they need to be OK with boxing...because I'm a boxer, so I play like one. I'm just ONE, so I'm a big puppy...I like to play and play and play. So, just keep that in mind. If there are no other dogs, then I am going to need exercise! Take me to the park, let's go for a little run, or let's get some good exercise every day for at least 45 minutes.
I love my crate and all of my toys. My favorite toys are empty plastic water bottles because they make lots of noise. I also like balls and bones. I'm mostly potty trained.
I am a VERY social girl and I love my humans. I like dogs, but I LOVE humans and want to be with them ALL the time! When I see them I stand up and give them a big HUG!
Keep checking in with me as I'm going to get better looking every day OR if it is love at first sight, complete an application for MELLIE!!!
