My story

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

Boxer is a playful fella who is ready to find his forever home! He greats all of his shelter pals with boundless energy - with eager anticipation for pets and treats. With his lively personality and his spirited nature can be a bit rowdy when he's all riled up but Boxer already knows "sit" and will calm with a little patience. He takes treats enthusiastically right now, so we're using an open palm, but this does lend well to training - which Boxer could use to learn a few manners and be his best self!

Boxer adores side scritches and belly rubs, and engages readily in playtime, bringing lots of fun and energy. He also gives up toys willingly, showing that he's a good-natured pup who just wants to enjoy life in his forever home.

Eligible for rescue, foster, and adoption. Meet Boxer at ACCT Philly any day of the week from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., or email foster@acctphilly.org to express interest in fostering him.
