Name: Andy
Nicknames: Andrew (in your sternest, most serious parent voice)
Sex: Male
Breed: Boxer
Age: 6 years
Weight: 60 lbs.
Before OMD: Found himself (as a stray) at the city shelter with a large, uncomfortable growth hanging off his back end. We picked him up from the shelter, got him straight to our vet, and had the growth removed and biopsied which came back as benign!
Energy level: Intermittent high. He’ll play fetch until your arms fall off, is always up for a game of tug, and will walk forever. He’s also thrilled when it’s time to relax and he’ll cozy up to you on the couch.
Descriptors: Bouncy. Wiggly. Snorty. Playful. Snuggly. Friendly. Clingy.
Moonlights as: A soulful lounge singer! He loves to show off his vocal range when he needs to go outside, wants a snack, wants inside, wants your attention, or wants anything for that matter.
Velcro level: Off the charts. He loves to rest his head in your lap whenever he gets the chance and will nudge you for pets. If someone gives him an ounce of attention, he’s already planning the wedding and ready to ride off in the sunset together.
His favorite things: People. Dogs. Mealtime. Treats. Toys. Chasing squirrels/birds/neighborhood cats. Pulling every single toy out of the toy basket. Saying hello to all the people.
Doesn’t love: Being home alone; away from his people.
Guilty of: Frequent, audible flatulence.
What makes us laugh: Have you ever almost run into something while walking and looking down at your phone? Well, that’s Andy during a walk, except he doesn’t have a phone. He just looks one way and walks the other and that sometimes results in running into a tree, fence, the person walking him, etc.
Also: when he is “woo wooing” his paws come off the ground ever so slightly.
Knows: Sit. Working on Leave It command.
Working on: Four on the floor. Walking in a straighter line and pulling less while on leash. Not counter surfing, but tbh he’s not really working on this one, so the humans will need to be vigilant.
Dogs: He’d be thrilled with another dog friend to play with. Currently fostered with a female Boxer.
Cats: Unknown.
Kids: Sturdy ones due to his jumping.
House-trained: Yes, but will sometimes have accidents when home alone and/or crated.
Crate-trained: Work in progress. He is definitely not a fan and will let you know, but we are working on positive association.
Andy is neutered, vaccinated, heartworm negative, and microchipped. He is available for adoption to residents of CT and surrounding states. If you are interested in adopting, please complete an application from omdrescue.org.
