About
Dex is a six year old, reverse brindle AKC registered male Boxer. He is a real beauty weighing in at 70 pounds of solid muscle. This handsome guy is a high energy, strong dog that is clean in the house and is not destructive. Dex has lived with kids, cats, and now is living with dogs. There is not a mean bone in his body, but he is a dog that doesn’t know his own strength and will require slow introductions to other canines. He acts like a much younger dog than his age reflects. Dex would benefit greatly from obedience classes and will need someone who is physically able to walk him. He loves being outdoors and is great on a hike. Exercise will be an important component of helping him to be successful in his new home. However, if you are new to a brachycephalic breed (flattened face/nose), please be aware that these funny, happy, energetic dogs overheat easily in the heat of summer and don't make good running partners. One of the nice things about this handsome dog is that he was raised as part of a family since puppyhood. Dex is being re-homed due to a change in the family’s circumstances and is in no way a fault of his own. If you think you have the time and energy to help this boy reach his full potential and to become your pride and joy, apply to Haven to Home Canine Rescue to be considered. He is being fostered in Northumberland, PA. 17857. Dex is UTD on vaccines, on monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives, microchipped and neutered. He is ready to love! Fun Facts: If you are not careful, Dex will feel free to step into the bathtub with you! He also loves being squirted with the hose, opening up his big ole’ mug and slurping up the cold water with his extra large tongue. The same tongue he uses to give anyone and everyone big exuberant kisses! IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ Click here for the ADOPTION APPLICATION if you are interested in adopting this pet.
