Available in TX only! Granger, a 54-pound young adult rescue dog, embodies a unique blend of traits that make him an endearing companion. Initially cautious around strangers, he blossoms into a loyal and affectionate friend once he establishes trust. His wide-set, beautiful eyes are a distinctive feature, complemented by charmingly bow-legged stature reminiscent of a bulldog.

A testament to his adaptability, Granger is both kennel and potty trained, demonstrating discipline and understanding of boundaries. While initially uneasy with car rides, he is gradually becoming more comfortable, displaying resilience and openness to new experiences.

He underwent a vaccine regimen to stop the progression of the fungus. He will require that vaccine annually. Despite his medical condition, he continues to thrive and love life! His gradual acclimatization to car rides mirrors his overall willingness to embrace change and learn. Granger's journey from a hesitant newcomer to a beloved companion reflects his resilient spirit and willingness to form deep connections. In essence, Granger is an amiable, adaptable, and affectionate dog whose gradual warmth towards strangers underscores his loyalty and trustworthiness once he embraces friendship.

Story
We are looking to rehome our almost 8-year-old male boxer, who has been a cherished part of our family but now needs a home that can better meet his specific needs. As a puppy, he was sweet and playful, but as he matured, he began exhibiting dominant behaviors, particularly toward our other male dog. He required surgery for undescended testicles, and although this helped, some aggressive tendencies remain, especially outside the home.At home, he is affectionate, playful, and loves to cuddle. However, he has shown aggression toward other dogs and certain people. While he has never bitten anyone, he has snapped at others, including our toddler, and attacked other dogs. For these reasons, he cannot be placed in a home with children, other dogs, or xxxx@xxxx.x is very protective and struggles in public settings, particularly around unfamiliar animals and people. While we believe his behavior could improve with the right training, we are unable to provide the resources he needs.
