My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Dog Name: Fossi (aks Foss-Foss, Foster, Mr. Man)

Age: Approx 3-4 years old

Gender: Male

Breed: Australian Cattle Dog/Boxer

Good with dogs? Yes, very! see notes

Good with cats? No.

Good with kids? Unknown, not recommended

What is Fossi's rescue story? The adorable Fossi is a survivor! He was saved from the euthanasia list in New Mexico in April 2023 and arrived in WA at the end of September 2023.

Temperment/Personality: He is extremely curious, smart, and a total goofball. He is a wonderful companion and wants to be a part of everything you do...whether that's running, cooking, going on errands in the car (he is the cutest sight in your sideview mirror), or cuddling and napping. While he is a combination of two very active breeds, he can read the room and knows when it's time to hang out and relax! He is such a good snuggler...and has the best little snores.

Fossi is AMAZING with other doggoes. The owner of the boarding facility he stays at loves that he is "her go-to dog who can be introduced to and play with any of the other dogs!" He would really love another pup in his forever home to show him the ropes. His best friends include his ten-pound foster sister, a mini dachshund, and our former foster, a 60-pound heeler/pittie mix.

What does Fossi's ideal home look like? Fossi deserves a patient forever family or person who is comfortable taking people introductions slowly. While his foster dad immediately gained his trust, some men are scary to Fossi upon first meeting. If you are willing to give him the time he deserves to learn to trust you, you will be rewarded with the most loving, loyal best friend.

He has great leash manners and LOVES going for walks and runs. His best life is with someone who works from home, or is home often and can provide him with lots of mental and physical stimulation, or someone who is willing to take him on all their travels! He would thrive with one or more dog siblings. Fossi is currently working with his fosters and Zoom Room Tacoma on introductions to new people.

Kids are currently unknown and not recommended.
