Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Handsome Butkus!
We are not sure if he is one of those rare/non-existent Black Boxer or there is another breed in him. What we do know that he looks and acts like a typical Boxer and he will steal your heart with silly antics and his sweet expressive face.
For no fault of his poor Butkus was at a crowded no kill local shelter for over 2 years and was developing kennel anxiety due to long stay at the shelter. Bully breeds are affectionate dogs who need human companionship and do not do well in solitary confinement. Hence, our rescue got him out and we are hoping a right family will take Butkus home soon.
Butkus is an affectionate and a very playful dog. He is a best cuddle buddy while watching TV on the couch. He loves to sleep right next to you under the blanket. Like a typical bully breed, he is a quite dog and rarely barks. He is estimated to be over 3 yrs. old, compact and athletic built at around 60 pounds.
He loves long walks and walks well on an Easy Walk harness. However, we are working on teaching him to curb his enthusiasm when he sees another dog.
He is a smart dog who knows basic commands and very treat motivated and hence easy to train. Although with that cute underbite and those big puppy eyes he does get away with things sometimes.
We are looking for someone who is committed to continue Butkus's training.
He is friendly and social while meeting people but selective with dogs. He is very playful and loves his toys and bones. He has been around other dogs but would do best as an only dog since he is not good at sharing his stuff with other dogs. Because of his exuberance a home without cats and small children is recommended. A family that has experience with large dogs is a must. A home where someone is home most of the time would be best as Butkus doesn't like being alone for long period of time.
He is up to date on all vaccinations, neutered and microchipped and ready to go home with you!
