My story

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

Name: Virginia
Nicknames: Ginny
Breed: Boxer
Age: ~3.5 years
Weight: 55 lbs.
Before OMD: Breeder release to the rescue.
Energy Level: Medium-High. She’s a young Boxer…’nuff said.
Descriptors: Wiggly. Outgoing. Social. Active. A tadddd bit clingy tbh.
Velcro level: High. She misses you when she blinks.
What we love most: She’s a sweetheart through and through. Always willing to give a smooch. Especially cuddly at night and really loves to put her head right smack-dab on top of her foster dad’s neck.
What she loves most: Food. Zooming. Rolly Pollies in the yard. Toys (the squeakier the better). Co-piloting. Walks. Playing with other dogs.
What she knows: Well, not much and she’s incredibly stubborn but she is all about food. Right now, she’s working on simply mastering her name, come, and a solid sit.
Working on: Independence and alone time. Keeping 4 on the floor. Heeling and less pulling when walking. Housebreaking.
Kids: She loves kids, but smaller kids may not love her back as she will knock them over. She is still learning to reign in her exuberance when excited.
Dogs: Has done well with dogs she’s met and loves to play, but she needs to eat separately and have high-value toys separately as well.
Cats: Unknown at this time
Crate-training: In progress! Currently working up to being alone a few hours in the crate.
House-breaking: Not quite. She has good days and some not as good days. She will do best with a solid routine and going out frequently while she learns.
