My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

About Hozier:
Hozier is a 7-year-old boxer cross and a total lover boy, complete with all the goofy charm and expressive personality the breed is known for. He’s affectionate, playful, and happiest when he’s part of the family. In his foster home, he’s been wonderful with the child he spends time with and has even done well living alongside a cat. Hozier enjoys his toys, likes to stay close to his people, and brings that classic boxer mix of silliness and sweetness wherever he goes.

Ideal Home:
Hozier would do well in a family home where he can be included in daily life and activities. He’s a social, people-oriented dog who enjoys companionship and routine. He can be selective about other dogs, so slow, thoughtful introductions or a home where he’s the only dog may be the best fit.

Training and Skills:
Hozier is house trained and has great manners in the home. He’s not destructive and settles in nicely. He rides well in the car, calmly sitting or lying down in the back. He enjoys walks and does well on leash. He’s also a big foodie, so he uses a slow feeder at mealtimes.

Favourites:
• His toys
• Walks with his people
• Car rides
• Meal time
• Hanging out with his foster family

Dislikes:
• Can be picky about dogs
• Waiting for dinner
