Story
I am turning 4 in July! I love hikes, the dog park, food, taking walks, picnics at the beach, but most of all, I enjoy spending time with my human. I know a few tricks and enjoy learning new things. My mom says I’m smart and always calls me handsome and I just enjoy making her happy.

Story
Update 6.1.24 Zeke has enjoyed being outside the last few weeks with the nice weather, he has no problem going out when it is raining, wiping him off is a challenge though since he doesn't like being touched. He gets the zoomies when he comes in from outside sometimes, that is usually a sign that he has pooped. Him and our resident boxer like to play keep away, it is usually him chasing and eventually getting the toy.  Between 9-9:30 pm  he has had enough and whines to go outside and will typically put himself in his kennel letting you know that it is bedtime, although he currently is curled up in the dog bed occasionally whining because he thinks he should be in his kennel but for some reason he won't put himself to bed. My husband says that he really likes his walks and that he really only whines when he wants/needs something.    Things are going well here.  Zeke is a really good dog that is looking for his forever home.  He is a curious boy with all the Boxer attitude, and is sweet and playful and does well with our other dogs.  He loves his toys and is learning how to fetch.  The cat is not an issue for him so a home with a cat could work just fine. He is vocal when he plays and loves to play hard like a typical Boxer. Zeke loves his kennel and puts himself to bed when he is tired.  He loves to ride in the car, is independent and food and treat motivated.  He is housebroken. He isn't a fan of being touched when he's sleeping - he'll grumble and walk away. We have only had him for a few days and he is doing great.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.July 4, 2024, 2:40 pm

Story
Billy was a stray in Ohio who came in really thin with some hair loss and ear hematomas. He is fostered with 6 other dogs and cats. If the cats are outside he wants to chase. He loves to be close. He rides perfectly in the car but is very strong on leash. He runs and plays like a young boxer but has some grey. He's looking for a home that won’t leave him behind. He deserves the best!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.July 4, 2024, 2:40 pm

My wife, Mila, and I are looking for our retirement home. I'm very playful and active still, so a yard for running would be awesome! I can be mischievous, especially when food or garbage are involved. I'm good with other dogs, kids and cats. I'm crate trained and housetrained.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.July 4, 2024, 2:40 pm

Story
Update 5.14.24 Gunner has been with us for a month now.  He has adjusted really well.  He has learned the boundaries of our unfenced property. He loves to run free in our yard and show off his impressive speed. He really wants to be a part of everything we are doing. I think they call that FOMO.  He loves toys and still favors water bottles. If there is a toy with a squeaker he will spend his time getting it out. He has learned how to shake his paw for a treat.  He is so smart! He does very well in his crate. And always needs to go back in when we let him out to get a toy to play with. He is doing very well with no potty accidents in the house. He is a big lover who wants all the attention he can get. He will make you laugh. He will give you his love, trust and big boxer kisses.    Update 4.19.24 Meet Gunner, the hilarious boxer full of life and energy! Gunner loves to make people laugh with his silly antics and funny faces. He enjoys going for walks but dreams of having a fenced yard where he can run and play to his heart's content. Although he's strong and could use some leash training, Gunner is smart and even bell-trained to signal when he needs to go potty. He's still learning to control his excitement, but he's making progress with guidance. Gunner is crate-trained, and enjoys playing with his favorite toys, like plastic bottles, balls, and ropes. He's a pro at fetch and tug of war and adores water—though he prefers stealing towels to jumping into baths. With his good manners around food and his affectionate nature, Gunner is sure to bring lots of joy to his forever home.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.July 4, 2024, 2:40 pm
