Hi there, I'm Vega, a 6-year-old, 70-pound, brindle and white boxer. I'm looking for a forever home with someone who can keep up with me and love me unconditionally.
I'm a fun-loving and adventurous boy, who enjoys playing, running, and exploring. I'm also very smart and eager to please, especially if you have some treats for me. I'm neutered, vaccinated, and heartworm negative, so I'm ready to go whenever you are.
I do have some quirks that you should know about. I like to test people I first meet, and I need a firm owner who can teach me right from wrong. I am dog selective needing slow intros to other dogs. I should not be around cats or other small animals because of my high prey drive. I do well with kids but probably not small kids because of my size, energy and I can be a bit of an attention hog without even realizing it. I can be crate reactive and have some barrier frustration. I also need more work on leash training, as I pull hard. Devices like gentle leaders may help me learn how to walk better on leash.
I have a lot of love to give. I'm very passionate and loyal to anyone I bond with. I bond quickly and can’t wait to make friends with you! I love being petted and cuddled. I'm a relatively quiet pup, and I can calm down when my exercise needs are met. I'm being boarded in Auburn, Alabama, but I can be transported out of state if you're the one for me. So, what do you say? Are you ready to meet your new best friend? I'm waiting for you. Fill out an application today and we will get the process started!
