Story
Deacon spent 6 years of his life in a shelter!! We had to give him a chance. When Deacon came out of the shelter he wasn't quite ready for the outside world. Luckily All The Way Canine Academy stepped up by taking him in to help him adjust to a life outside of the shelter. Deacon is ready to find his forever family and be given a real chance at a life he deserves. Deacon can be shy at first, understandably, but once he opens up he will happily give you butt wiggles and his paw asking for affection. Deacon is loving but doesn't need constant affection and can relax on his own. Deacon will easily relax in the home. He would do well with a crate as the crate is his safe place.

Story
Gypsy is located in TEXAS. There are not enough homes for all the unwanted dogs down there, so she is willing to relocate for a good, loving, forever home. Gypsy is a very good girl and is the most obedient dog I have ever seen. She knows how to sit and comes when called. She is housetrained and very well behaved in the house. She likes her crate and sleeps in it with the door open. She walks well on a leash and rides well in a vehicle. Gypsy loves her toys, especially squeaky ones, and she loves playing fetch. Gypsy is active - she loves to run and play with toys and other dogs. She loves water and lays in the wading pool when it is hot, and we bet she would love snow. She gets excited about squirrels, cats, and critters on the other side of the fence. Gypsy does well with all dogs but gets along best with male dogs. She is normally good around small dogs but occasionally mistakes one for a toy when she is over-excited. So she is not recommended for homes with small dogs. She is not too fond of puppies getting in her face either. Gypsy loves human attention and is good with children. She could perhaps use more obedience training with someone firm, patient, and loving. Gypsy is very sweet. She gets attached to her human and likes to lay under my desk when I work on the computer. Gypsy walks well on a leash and rides well in the car. She must be in the house as a loved family member, and she needs a yard with a 6' fence to run and play. Gypsy came from a bad home. She was not being fed and was severely underweight. So the people surrendered Gypsy and her puppies to animal control to avoid animal cruelty charges. Gypsys DNA test results are mostly Boxer, Husky, and German Shepherd. She bounces on her front legs when she is excited and we now know that comes from the Boxer in her. Gypsy is around 5 years of age and weighs 70 pounds (she only weighed 35 pounds when we got her). Gypsy is healthy. She is spayed, tattooed, fully vaccinated (DAPPvL2, Bordatella, rabies), and microchipped. Gypsy had a light case of heartworms when we first got her. We used the slow-kill method (we are happy to explain this) and she is now negative for heartworms and on monthly heartworm and flea prevention. Gypsy's adoption fee includes the cost of ground transport to the Pittsburgh area. She is located in Texas and cannot be transported until after she is adopted. Please send an email to 2manydogstx@gmail.com if you are interested in adopting this wonderful dog.

Story
WE ARE A TX BASED RESCUE. THIS DOG IS CURRENTLY LOCATED IN TX AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED UPON ADOPTION. Please fill out an adoption application found at haydudeequine.org Heidi - You are the bridge between what was and what will be, my pathway to a new life! My name is Heidi, full of youthful exuberance for life, innocence and curiosity. Ready to crawl right into your heart (won't take long either!!) and be a part of a family...YOUR family! I am still a youngster yet, a big puppy at heart! I have lots of energy and am quite agile. I could be a great candidate for obedience classes and maybe even some fun ones like agility classes. I'm a smart cookie (i know cuz my foster mom tell me so!) and catch on quickly. At 11 months and around 45lbs, I shouldn't get much bigger at my adult weight. What a perfect size for...everything! Neighborhood strolls, nature hikes(aaaah, all those wonderful tantalizing smells), camping, being a co-pilot for errand runs or trips to the park! You name it, I'm ready to give it a whirl and have a blast too (with whatever it is) just cuz we're doing it together!! And the bestest part is that I'm also small enough that I don't hog the whole couch for my cherished cuddle time!! My foster mom wanted you to know this about me - -she is housebroken -she wants to be a lap dog; -she would fit well with an adult home with older children; -with her high prey drive she should be in a home without small dogs or cats but will do well with her size or larger size breed of dogs; -she is a fast learner and will shine with an owner that will include her in their everyday life adventures; -she is crate trained; -she follows basic commands and walks well on leash; -she thrives on daily walks; -she’s a family dog and will make a fabulous family member; -she loves walks, hikes, exploring, tug of war and games using her nose and sparking her intelligence; -she’s quite agile and shows ability in figuring out how to jump over or crawl under set obstacles. She is happy, fun loving and eager to bring joy to her forever home! As my short sleek coat is low maintenance in the grooming department, making me more of a wash-n-to type of gal. And you do know what that means don't you?!! Oh yep yep, lots of extra time in the 'spoil me rotten' department. And you know that's what it's all about!! ;) Big on personality, smart and inquisitive, affectionate and sweet, my oh my I have a boatload of great traits going on, oh and don't forget my stunning good looks, to make me a great family addition, I just need the family...could it be YOUR family?

Or, how about these Boxers in cities near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Gracie Belle - Yes, having two names definitely makes me extra special! And believe me, I AM special! I'm not your average pup; I'm a delightful boxer mix with ears that act like radars, always tuned in to the fun and excitement around me. I've got a genuine penchant for adventure and a passion for running that knows no bounds. As I've grown, I've blossomed into a loving and mature young dog. My youthful exuberance is now complemented by a deeper sense of loyalty and affection. I've learned the ropes of good behavior, and I'm ready to be the devoted companion you've been looking for. I'm an active girl, and I thrive alongside other active, friendly dogs or I am good by myself to take all the attention from you :) With my sleek and muscular build, weighing in at about 50-55 pounds, I'm the perfect size for all kinds of outdoor activities. I'd make the ideal companion for a family that loves to keep moving! Do you enjoy running, hiking, camping, boating, or any adventure under the sun? Well, guess what? I'm ready to be your partner in all those exciting escapades. So why wait? Fill out that adoption application today, and let's embark on a lifetime of thrilling journeys together!

Story
Hi there, I'm Precious. They say that I am called this because I am the most precious dog here at God's Dogs Rescue. I came to the rescue in October of 2022 to have a safe place for me to have and raise my puppies. All my puppies were adopted by the end of January 2023, but I am still here looking for my furever home. I am a bigger girl, but this just means there is more of me to cuddle you, because I love cuddling it's one of my top 3 favorite things. 1) Food- I love food and will do almost anything you ask if you have a treat involved. 2) Cuddles- on your lap, on the couch, in the bed wherever there is a comfy space with pillows or a human I want to be there. 3) Kisses- I have a love of giving kisses to people, especially kids. Although not everyone likes it when I try to kiss them and that makes me sad. 4) Honorable mention- I like going on walks or in the car for a ride, although I prefer just lazing around at home. My current fosters say that I am a "house hippo with springs in my feet whatever that means; I just know sometimes, when I get super happy, I feel like I could fly- or jump really high. I love their kids and am very good with them even the tiny ones. I get along with most other dogs I meet, although I have a big personality about me, because I'm a boss, so sometimes other dogs don't like that about me. I tolerate cats although if they give me too much attitude or growl at me, I can't help but to give them piece of my mind. I like most new people I meet although I had a rough start in life so sometimes, I can be a little wary with men, with time though I adjust, and we can become best friends forever. A few more little details about me: I am almost 3 years old I am a Boxer/Shepherd mix I am great with kids I am good with Cats and Dogs I am crate-trained I am housebroken I can be adopted in Texas or anywhere in the US too! Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $400 (includes transport to your area, $50 temporary fuel fee will be included)

Story
IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN ADOPTION, PLEASE GO TO OUR WEBSITE TO READ ABOUT THE ADOPTION PROCESS AND FILL OUT AN APPLICATION. www.furkidrescue.org Mister was rescued from being chained to a fence with no protection from the elements. His former owner was a homeless and addicted to drugs. A fellow rescuer purchased him to get him out of the situation. He is good with other dogs. Loves his crate, toys, going for walks and going in the car. It takes him awhile to get settled into a home, so he needs a patient adopter.

Meet Eddie! This happy little guy loves to play and follow you around to assist in whatever task or activity you undertake. Cleaning the floor? He'll grab a cloth and help with that. Picking up the spilled kibble pieces? On it! Eddie is looking for his lifetime buddy to spend time with and tag along with on all of your adventures. Eddie is a very affectionate pup who loves kisses and hugs. He's good with other dogs, and is a typical puppy with kitties (hoping to engage them in play). He'd do best in a home with kids that are old enough to handle his puppy exuberance. He is the type to run full-bore right up to you with joy, and just happens to bonk his very solid head into your chin, etc. He also thinks ear nibbling is a great show of affection, despite foster mom telling him she really does not need a new piercing. This pup is just so full of joy, and ready to share it with his new family. Could it be you? Eddie will likely be a large dog once full grown. Mom is a 60 lb. boxer/pit mix, and dad is unknown. He is currently 16 weeks old and about 23 lbs. Eddie is currently available for adoption through Paws Across Pittsburgh, Springdale, PA 15144, KL#16182. (4/1/24).

Story
Hi everyone, I’m Shelby! I’m a beautiful brindle boxer mix with the cutest underbite. My papers say I’m 5 years old, but I’m full of energy and spunk. I’m about 45 pounds and already spayed. I’m crate trained and working hard on house training. I get along with other dogs and love to run and play with them. I’ve also tested well with cats. I think I would love kids but my energy may be a bit much for small kids. I can also be a bit nippy when I’m excited/playing. I would reallllly love a fenced in yard to run in, I’m super duper fast! It should be a tall fence though because I’m very springy and can jump really high. Once I get my zoomies out, I love to cuddle up on the couch with my people. I’m working hard on my manners, like not jumping or counter surfing, but it’s a work in progress. I can’t wait to find an active/energetic family of my own. ##1774486##

FULLY VETTED ADOPTION FEE is: $250 ** PLEASE NOTE: The breed mix posted is simply a GUESS on our part, we DO NOT do DNA testing. Hi all! Thanks for stopping by to check me out!! My name is Miss Rohan, I am a 4 yr old 70 lb cuddle bug!! I ended up in rescue when it was determined that I would be best suited in a home with no other animals. But quite honestly, who needs other animals to play with when you humans will do just fine?! In addition to snuggling with 2 legged folks, I also LOVE taking walks/hikes and playing fetch. Although I am considered a young adult, I have lots of puppy energy to expend so an active owner(s) is a must. Car rides?? LOVE them, as they typically end up supplying me with new and exciting adventures. There are some things I must brag about. First of all, I am totally potty trained which seems to be really important to you folks. Also, I am crate trained as well. Which means when you leave your house, you don't have to fret about me getting into anything while you're gone. Now for what makes me really really special....I am hearing impaired and because I am so smart, I have already mastered my hand signals (intelligent AND gorgeous)!! Yup, I am THAT special! My ideal home would be one that will continue to supply me with ample playtime, lots and lots of hugs, and has patience while learning how we communicate with each other. The folks here at the rescue are insisting on a fenced in yard for me and if you have kids, they need to be older (like teenager age). I am a strong gal, so walking me on a leash can prove challenging unless the correct harness is utilized (foster mom can fill you in on that detail). I get so excited to see what's ahead of me that I have a tendency to move faster than the human at the other end of my leash!! I have tons of love and happiness to add to the right home.....maybe it's yours? If so, fill out that adoption application and my people will be in touch with you!! love, rohan https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfq4U7G0-dPdnIAyHdlAAZ11IQN5SVy0PEMLEnGOAOJWANOfA/viewform
