ALVINA here and I'm a 2+ year old Boxer girl. My family got me as a puppy and I lived with their other female boxer. But, there is something very unique about us bully breed females...when we get to adulthood, we don't like each other...and that happened here. I get along with other dogs, just not bully breed females. It is just in my nature.
My foster mom says I love other dogs but cats are definitely not my thing. I would do best in a house with another dog, but as you read above it has to be male. I just need the company of another 4 legged companion as it helps me feel secure. I also love children and absolutely light up when I am around them. My current foster home has 2 teenage children and I love to just hang out and cuddle with them. I'm potty trained and crate trained and my foster Mom is helping me to learn to walk better on a leash.
With our square jaw and handsome exterior, you will fall in love with my steady gaze with a hint of mischief and undeniable joy of life. We Boxers are said to stay in puppy mode until we are 3 years of age, so we are a ton of fun and a whole lot of laughs. While we all have incredible grace, we are affectionate to children and a steadfast friend and guardian to the whole family.
And did I mention Smart? We boxers score very high on intelligence. Go ahead, teach us anything. We can learn how to find food, fetch the newspaper, chew on your slippers, or schedule the VCR. WHAT? You don't have a VCR any longer? Well, no worries, I can figure out whatever is needed...I can find that ONE little piece of food that has rolled under the oven.
As with all Boxers, I'm an energetic and playful dog. I am an intelligent working dog...and I respond well to positive reinforcement training such as reward based training or clicker training.
Please complete an application for me and I will love you MORE than you can imagine.
