My story

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

LION – Male Boxer | 2 Years Old - DOB 11/25/2023 |    50 lbs | Healthy, Vaccinated & Neutered

Introducing Lion, the sweetest big-hearted Boxer boy you’ll ever meet! At 2 years old, Lion has that perfect blend of Boxer goofiness and soulful loyalty. He’s playful, affectionate, expressive, and absolutely loves being near his humans. Lion is the type of dog who wiggles when he’s happy, leans in for cuddles, and charms everyone he meets with his warm, gentle nature.


Breed Info:

Boxers are known for their intelligence, athleticism, and famously silly personalities. They are deeply loyal, people-oriented, and incredibly loving companions. Boxers thrive on interaction, bonding, and being included in family life. Lion reflects the best of his breed — goofy, devoted, and full of heart.


Owner Responsibilities:

To help Lion thrive, he’ll need:

  • Daily exercise (walks, play, and engagement)

  • Structure, training, and positive reinforcement

  • Plenty of affection and time with his family

  • A safe, stable home where he won’t be left alone too long

Give him routine, purpose, and love — and Lion will give you devotion for life.


Things to Consider Before Adopting Lion:

  • Are you ready for a medium-energy, highly social dog?

  • Do you have the time and stability for daily exercise and bonding?

  • Is your home and landlord dog-friendly?

  • Are you prepared to commit to a dog for the next 10+ years?

  • Are you ready for a dog who wants to be included as part of the family, always?

Dogs are forever — not until convenient.


Vet Care:

Lion is healthy, vaccinated, and neutered. Please take him to your own vet shortly after adoption to set up ongoing care and ensure his continued well-being.


The 3-3-3 Rule & Lifelong Commitment:

  • First 3 days: He decompresses and starts to feel safe.

  • First 3 weeks: Lion learns your routine, expectations, and begins trusting fully.

  • First 3 months: He bonds deeply, understanding he is truly home at last.

Adoption is forever — and Lion is ready to give his heart unconditionally.


Why Lion Would Be a Great Addition:

Lion is a loyal, affectionate, and joy-filled companion who will bring warmth and love into any home. His expressive Boxer charm, playful energy, and gentle nature make him the kind of dog who forms bonds that last a lifetime. He’ll make you laugh, comfort you on hard days, and love you with everything he has. He’s not just a dog — he’s family. ❤️
