Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Elf, a nine-month-old male Boxer with a personality as unique as his name! Currently weighing in at 46 pounds, Elf is your not-so-little bundle of joy, perfect for a family looking for a happy and slightly goofy new member.
Good with kids? Absolutely! Elf’s got a PhD in Playfulness and a Masters in Mischief although he sometimes gets carried away and might bowl little ones over. Good with other dogs? You bet! He’s the social butterfly of the canine world. Good with cats? Well, that’s still a mystery; perhaps he’s waiting for the right cat to interview him.
Elf would make himself right at home in a townhouse, but an apartment might be a bit too snug for his boxy boxer build. He’s not a fan of the crate, but mostly house trained – we say ‘mostly’ because, well, nobody’s perfect!
When it comes to commands, Elf knows ‘sit’ and is probably plotting to learn more, just to impress you. This cuddle bug is armed with medium energy and an arsenal of toys that he adores. Walking with Elf is a breeze, thanks to his leash manners, which are as impeccable as his sense of humor.
If you’re looking for a dog who will make you laugh, give great cuddles, and maybe steal your socks (just for fun, of course), Elf is your guy!
