Adoption fee: $650 Meet Bumper Car — Your Future Best Friend Bumper Car is a 3 month old Boxer/German Shepherd mix, currently around 20 lbs. and growing into a strong, handsome pup. He’s part of the “Fair” litter and was raised in a home with kids before coming into rescue, so he’s already comfortable around people and everyday life. He’s proving to be exactly what you hope for in a puppy — affectionate, social, and full of personality. Personality: Happy, Loving, and Always Nearby Bumper Car is a classic love-bug puppy. He naturally gravitates toward his people and wants to be part of whatever is going on — whether that’s playtime, hanging out, or just following you from room to room. He’s got a sweet, easygoing demeanor and a playful side to match. He loves attention, enjoys being held, and settles in nicely for cuddles after he’s gotten his energy out. Social & Play Style One of the best things about Bumper Car is how well he does with other dogs. He’s currently living with dogs ranging from about 30 to 100 pounds and fits right in with all of them. He’s playful without being overwhelming and reads other dogs well. He enjoys running around, engaging in play, and then moving on when it’s time to settle down. He’s also not excessively barky, which makes him an easy addition to a home environment. Training & Daily Life For a young puppy, Bumper Car is already picking things up quickly: Dog door: knows how to use it Potty training: off to a strong start with routine Food motivated: yes — which helps with training Crate training: still learning, but improving He’s a smart pup who will benefit from consistency and structure, but he’s already showing great instincts. Energy Level Bumper Car has that ideal puppy balance. He’s energetic and fun when it’s time to play, but he’s not nonstop chaos. After some activity, he’s more than happy to relax and hang out. He can keep up with an active household but also knows how to settle, which is a great trait as he grows. Why Bumper Car Stands Out Bumper Car is the total package: Great with dogs of all sizes Loves people and attention Affectionate and cuddly Not overly vocal Already showing strong house habits Happy, adaptable personality He’s had a strong start being raised in a home, and it shows in how comfortable and well-adjusted he is. The Bottom Line Bumper Car is the kind of puppy that makes life better — easy to love, easy to have around, and full of potential. If you’re looking for a friendly, well-rounded puppy who will grow into a loyal companion, Bumper Car is a perfect fit.April 29, 2026, 7:12 pm
