Meet Buddy!  Buddy is a handsome 9 year old Brindle boy that could possibly have a mix of another breed in him.  We have been told he is all Boxer, but we are not 100% sure.   Buddy’s story is very sad.  He was taken from his home by the animal control officer due to a very neglectful situation.  He is currently at a rescue facility and has been there for approximately 9 months.  He came to them extremely thin.  It took a few months for him to gain some weight back, but he looks wonderful now.  He has lived with a smaller size female dog, cats and  older children (12+).    Buddy knows his basic commands and is crate trained, but he would be perfectly fine with free roam of the house as well.    He seems to be okay around most dogs, but has gotten into scuffles with some male dogs off leash and we feel he would do best as an only dog.  Buddy has lived with cats in the past, but because it has been a very long time, we are unsure how he would be with them now.   He is a BIG SWEETHEART and a very mellow dog.  Overall, he seems like happy boy and much younger than 9!     We would love to see Buddy in a home where someone is home more often than not so that he can spend his golden years getting the love and attention he so deserves.    If you are looking for a great companion to walk with, snuggle on the couch with, or just hang out with, Buddy is your boy!    We are currently looking for a foster home for buddy or a possible foster to adopt for buddy.  If you are interested in this handsome boy, please contact us at info@theboxerrescue.org
