Boxer puppies and dogs in Vermont

-

I adopted Gemma from a shelter. I liked the boxer breed as my son had one. I was naive to think she came without problems as both of my previous dogs had sweet dispositions. I believe she was abused in her past as she shows reactive behavior.

Koda Gallego | Your New Best Friend Koda is one of those puppies who makes you wonder how a dog this young can already be so incredibly affectionate. With his tan coat, adorable black snout, and irresistible puppy-dog eyes, Koda is basically a professional cuddler in training—and he's very serious about his work! Estimated to have been born around May 17, 2026, Koda currently weighs approximately 14.5 lbs and is believed to be a Boxer/Labrador Retriever mix. As with all rescue puppies, his breed and birthday are our best educated guesses. You can watch Koda in action here, then come right back to read more! Koda is an absolute people-lover. He wants to be wherever his humans are and is happiest when he's sitting in your lap, being held, or covering your face with puppy kisses. He has such a naturally friendly, affectionate personality that it didn't take long to fall completely in love with him. He's the kind of puppy who makes you immediately think, "Can I just take you home?" Koda is currently fostered with his brother, Simba, and the two love spending their days playing together. He's also been introduced to other dogs and a cat and has done wonderfully with both. He's a very social puppy who enjoys meeting new friends and has had plenty of positive experiences that have helped him become the confident, happy little guy he is today. He's also proving to be a pretty fantastic roommate already. Koda has done very well with potty training, isn't particularly vocal, and rides beautifully in the car. He's highly food motivated and happily accepts treats, which should make continuing his puppy training that much easier. Koda has been given an incredible start by his foster family, and it shows. He's been surrounded by love, exposed to new experiences, and given plenty of opportunities to learn how wonderful the world can be. Because of that, we expect him to transition beautifully into a forever home and quickly become attached to his new people. If you're looking for a puppy who is affectionate, playful, social, food-motivated, and already off to a fantastic start, Koda Gallego might just be your dream boy. Just be prepared for the kisses—this little guy has plenty to give!

Madonna Sweet Star has perfected the art of the full-body wiggle wag which has one effect on people, which is making someone smile before they have even gotten to actually say hello to her. Between the wiggle-wag of joy and the neck rolls that defy science- it works like a charm! At an estimated 4 years old and 45 pounds, Madonna has the look of a bigger dog tucked into a wonderfully pocket-sized package of joy- the perfect medium-sized pal with a giant heart basically. Go watch Madonna Sweet Star on YouTube, then come right back to read more. Her video is the best introduction to those irresistible neck rolls, her endlessly happy personality, and the joyful way she greets both people and the world around her. https://youtu.be/PKeMm7iNBzE We believe Madonna is a Pug/ boxer mix of some sort, but she is a rescue, so her exact breed and age cannot be guaranteed. Thanks to a dedicated foster, Madonna is enjoying the kind of life that has helped her become an exceptionally well-rounded companion. Her foster shared she ishouse trained, crate trained, and incredibly easy to live with. She has excellent house manners and settles beautifully indoors, happily lounging nearby while you work, watch TV, or simply enjoy a quiet evening at home. Her foster regularly brings her into the family's businesses where new faces are a norm and from the beginning she took the role of being a polite ambassador serious. In fact, Madonna absolutely thrived! She happily wanders from person to person collecting treats, soaking up attention, and making new friends with that signature happy confidence of hers. She's the kind of dog who just knows strangers are simply people who haven’t gotten the pleasure of meeting her yet. That same friendly attitude extends to other dogs as well. Madonna enjoys meeting new dogs and especially seems to adore goofy, playful male dogs who appreciate her happy, social nature. At this time, Madonna is looking for a home without cats or small dogs, where her play style and personality will be the best fit. One of the things that we were all so impressed with is how easy she is to handle. She walks beautifully on leash with a calm, easy pace and is happy to join you for even short neighborhood walks. She doesnt need miles but absolutely enjoys spending that time together. She already knows sit and down, is very treat motivated, is eager to learn and enjoys working with her people. Despite having aspirations of becoming a full-time lap dog, Madonna is wonderfully respectful around the house. She loves affection, happily hands out kisses, and would be thrilled to curl up beside you after a day together. She has that lovely balance of being affectionate without being overwhelming, making her an easy companion for a variety of homes. One place Madonna appreciates a little extra help is getting into the car. She prefers a boost or being lifted in, but once she's settled inside, she rides comfortably and quietly for the rest of the trip. Think of it as her way of making sure you get one extra opportunity to show her you care before the adventure begins. Madonna is simply one of those wonderfully uncomplicated dogs. She's social, happy, well-mannered, affectionate, and genuinely enjoys sharing life with her people. If you're looking for a dog who can accompany you through everyday adventures, greets friends with contagious enthusiasm, and then happily relaxes by your side when the day winds down, Madonna is ready and waiting for you!

Once we've reviewed your application, an adoption coordinator will happily reach out to tell you more about her and answer any questions you may have. We can't wait for you to meet this joyful little wiggle-butt! Apply today! https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/6a56c66614cb6cdba1040a7c Questions?
