Story
Meet Joe — A Handsome Purebred Boxer Boy Looking for His Forever Home Joe is a beautiful 1½-year-old purebred Boxer with a big heart and a lot of love to give. This handsome boy came into rescue when his family was no longer able to care for him, and he is now looking for a forever home where he can be loved and cherished. Joe is fully neutered, up to date on vaccinations, housebroken, and ready to begin the next chapter of his life. He is an intelligent, affectionate Boxer who loves spending time with his people. He enjoys the company of both men and women and would do best with older children who understand and appreciate his playful, loving personality. Like many Boxers, Joe is smart, loyal, and eager to be part of the family. He loves attention and will happily be your companion, whether that means daily walks, playing fetch, relaxing together at home, going for adventures, or simply being by your side. Joe would do well with a friendly female dog as a canine companion with proper introductions or be happy as the only dog in the home where he can soak up all the love. This handsome Boxer has so much love to offer and is ready to find the people who will give him the same devotion and loyalty he gives in return. Could Joe be the missing piece in your family? He’s waiting to meet you!

Story
Meet Bucky! This sweet, goofy boy has never met a toy he couldn't turn into a comedy routine or a human he didn't want to love. He's equal parts cuddle bug, clown, and loyal best friend, always ready to make you laugh with his silly antics and expressive Boxer personality. When he first came to us, he was covered in ticks and in need of some extra care. Through every vet visit, treatment, and step of his health journey, he was an absolute gentleman—patient, brave, and endlessly sweet. He handled it all with the kind of resilience that makes you root for him even more. Like many dogs, he's a little particular about his social circle and can be selective with other dogs. He prefers quality friendships over quantity and appreciates slow, thoughtful introductions. With people, though, his heart is wide open. He's affectionate, loving, and always happy to be by your side. Whether he's making you laugh with his goofy Boxer antics or snuggling up for some well-earned couch time, he's the kind of dog who leaves a paw print on your heart. This handsome boy is ready for a family who will appreciate all the wonderful things that make him uniquely him!

Story
Meet Nina – professionally known as Miss Buttered Roll. Nina is estimated to be around 2 years old, and honestly, we're not convinced she's a real dog. She might actually be a stuffed animal that somehow came to life. With her squishy little body, floppy ears, soulful eyes, and the most adorable collection of puppy rolls you've ever seen, Nina is the kind of dog that makes complete strangers stop and say, "Oh my gosh, LOOK at her!" We aren't exactly sure what breeds make up this precious girl. Maybe there's some hound, some boxer, maybe even a little Beagle mixed in there somewhere. Whatever the recipe was, it turned out absolutely perfect. Watch Nina's video here, then come back to read more! https://youtu.be/iAkCztwa3lY?si=UUdR7D_u09EKv68e Nina's foster family is completely obsessed with her, and it's easy to see why. Her foster dad says that all Nina wants in life is to love people and be loved right back. That's it. That's her dream. She doesn't need fame, fortune, or world domination. Just a comfy place to nap and humans to adore. And adore them she does. Nina is what we like to call a "respectful Velcro dog." She wants to be near her people because you're her favorite thing in the entire world, but she also has lovely manners. She'll follow you from room to room, check in to make sure you're okay, and then politely settle nearby while you cook dinner, work on your laptop, or binge-watch your latest TV obsession. Physically, Nina is pure perfection. Her caramel-colored coat is accented by adorable white markings, and her little body is delightfully squishy in all the right places. She has the kind of extra skin and jiggly rolls that make you want to gently squish her cheeks and tell her she's beautiful approximately 47 times a day. When she gets excited, her whole body seems to wiggle independently, creating what can only be described as a full-body happiness ripple. Nina currently lives with multiple other dogs and enjoys having canine friends around. She's playful, social, and likes to join in on the fun. That said, she's also a bit of a self-appointed playground supervisor. If the doggy shenanigans start getting a little too wild, Nina may step in and let everyone know she's keeping an eye on things. Because of this, she tends to do best with thoughtful introductions and dogs who appreciate her leadership style. A calmer dog companion could be a wonderful match, though she'd also be perfectly happy soaking up all the attention as an only dog. On leash, Nina can get very excited when she sees other dogs and may bark or pull because she wants to investigate. Once proper introductions happen, she's much more relaxed. Because of this, we'd prefer a home environment over apartment living where she'd regularly encounter unfamiliar dogs in tight spaces. As for cats, Nina's cat test was inconclusive. She showed curiosity and interest but remained polite and chose to walk away on her own. We'd be happy to arrange additional cat testing for families with feline friends. Nina hasn't been formally kid tested yet, but based on her incredibly affectionate, gentle, people-loving personality, we think she has the potential to be a wonderful family dog. We're happy to complete kid testing for interested adopters to help ensure the best match. The truth is, Nina is one of those dogs that just makes life better. She's funny without trying, sweet without effort, and loving without limits. She's the dog who will greet you like you've been gone for years when you were only outside taking out the trash. The dog who will happily curl up next to you after a long day and remind you that everything is going to be okay. If you've been searching for a best friend with a heart of gold, a face that belongs on a greeting card, and enough squishiness to heal your soul, Nina is waiting to meet you. Apply today and adopt the world's cutest little butter roll. https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/6a15fa637edb59c3c00888ef Questions?

Story
Meet Delilah! A retired queen who has officially mastered the art of peaceful living. At around 10 years old, this sweet boxer/American Bully mix has absolutely zero interest in drama, chaos, or unnecessary cardio. Delilah’s perfect day consists of finding the coziest possible spot in the house, settling into it like she pays the bills, and occasionally wandering outside to enjoy a little sunshine before returning to her scheduled relaxation time. And honestly? She’s earned it. Delilah has the squishiest little face and the softest, sweetest eyes that always look like she’s about to tell you everything is going to be okay. She’s one of those dogs whose presence just feels comforting. Calm. Easy. Familiar. The type of dog who quietly keeps you company while you read, watch TV, work from home, or nap on the couch beside her. Watch Delilah's video here! https://youtu.be/sa1mk-v8Cw0?si=TT94niqZQy-pv-nr She’s not asking for marathons or nonstop entertainment. She just wants a soft place to land and people who love having a quiet companion nearby. With other dogs, Delilah has truly mastered the art of peaceful coexistence. She lives with multiple dogs in her foster home and does wonderfully as long as everyone respects her space and keeps things calm. She greets dogs politely, has excellent social skills, and honestly prefers to simply coexist rather than actively interact. Think “nice neighbor” more than “party host.” If another dog gets too pushy, jumpy, or overly excited in her face, Delilah will absolutely let them know she’d prefer some personal space — and honestly, fair enough. She gives very appropriate, clear corrections and then immediately moves on with her day like a mature grown woman who has no time for nonsense. She doesn’t hold grudges, she doesn’t create chaos, she just likes respectful roommates. And the cat test? Iconic. They brought the cat into the room, and Delilah basically glanced over, sniffed the air for a second, and then decided it simply was not her business. She turned around and went right back to relaxing. Truly unmatched levels of minding her own business. Because she’s such a low-energy, easygoing girl, Delilah could absolutely do well in an apartment — ideally a quieter one or maybe a first-floor setup since she’s an older lady. But honestly, her DREAM would probably be a peaceful home with a little backyard where she can slowly wander around, sunbathe, and have her own cozy outdoor lounging spot. I can fully picture her with a little cot outside just peacefully supervising the yard like a retired grandma on vacation. She would do best in a calmer home without super rowdy dogs or puppies constantly in her space. A mellow respectful dog companion would be perfectly fine, but she’d also probably be very content as your one-and-only spoiled couch potato. Delilah isn’t trying to be the life of the party anymore. She’s trying to enjoy retirement. And she is exceptionally good at it. 💛 Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?

Story
Life with Buster Sweets looks a lot like this: a loyal little sidekick who's always happy to see what you're up to, always ready to join in, and always up for ending the day with a cuddle on the couch. His foster says his favorite thing about him is how sweet he is, how outgoing he becomes once he's comfortable, and how much he genuinely enjoys being part of whatever's happening. He has a wonderful way of making everyday moments just a little bit better, whether that's following you around the house to see what you're doing or hopping onto the couch to snuggle after a fun day. Watch his video and prepare to fall in love with this adorable little sidekick: https://youtu.be/2KRVtz2lcKE?si=s64_Um7j3G7KL0OQ Buster is believed to be approximately 5 months old and currently weighs about 20 pounds. As with any rescue puppy, his exact breed is always a mystery, but our best guess is he's a Boxer and Pittie mix. Whatever combination created him also gave him an adorable face, a fun-loving personality, and a size that we think will stay on the smaller side once he's fully grown. Buster is curious, playful, and always excited to see what the day has in store. Exploring the backyard, checking out new smells, chasing toys, or carrying one around the house... he's convinced life is meant to be enjoyed. He loves being involved in whatever his people are doing and is happiest when he gets to tag along. Whether you're making dinner, working in the yard, or relaxing in the living room, Buster is perfectly content simply being part of it all. One of our favorite things about Buster is the balance he has between his playful side and his affectionate side. Once he's comfortable, his outgoing personality really shines. After he's gotten some playtime in, he's more than happy to climb onto the couch and snuggle up beside you. His foster says he's incredibly sweet and loves being close to his people, making him the kind of dog that's just as rewarding to relax with as he is to play with. Buster is also one smart little guy. He already knows how to sit, and if you happen to have a treat in your hand, you'll definitely have his full attention. Treats are absolutely one of the quickest ways to his heart, and his eagerness to learn makes us think he'll have a lot of fun continuing his training with his future family. His foster says Buster is kennel trained and does very well in his crate. He's also about 90% potty trained. Like any young dog, he still has a small bladder, so he'll do best with regular potty breaks throughout the day as he continues building consistency. Buster enjoys playing with other dogs and would likely love a playful canine companion, but we also think he'd do wonderfully as the only dog as long as he has a family that's excited to include him in everyday life. He's also spent time around children between the ages of 5 and 8 and has been nothing but gentle with them. We think he has all the makings of a wonderful family dog. It's important to remember, though, that Buster can be a little shy when meeting new people or adjusting to new places. Like many rescue dogs, he'll simply need a little time to decompress, settle into his new routine, and let his personality blossom. Once he does, you'll discover the sweet, outgoing little guy his foster has completely fallen in love with. Buster has such a wonderful balance to him. He's playful without being over-the-top, affectionate without being clingy, and curious enough to make every day a little more fun. More than anything, he simply wants to be included. If you're looking for a loyal companion who will happily join you for life's adventures, make you smile with his goofy personality, and then curl up beside you at the end of the day, Buster is ready to make himself right at home. We are willing to test Buster Sweets with anything you need in order to ensure it's a perfect match. We can make anything happen!

Story
If you've ever wished your dog could tell you exactly what was on his mind... Riley Sweets is more than happy to make that dream come true. This adorable little guy has something to say about just about everything, and honestly, it's one of the funniest things about him. Hear a noise outside? Riley has a comment. Another dog starts playing? Riley has a comment. Someone walks into the room? Riley has a comment. Sometimes it even seems like he just enjoys hearing himself talk, and we can't help but laugh. His foster says he's basically the perfect dog... except for the fact that he's convinced every thought deserves to be shared out loud. We happen to think it's part of his charm, but it's also why we know he'd be happiest in a home rather than an apartment where his running commentary won't bother the neighbors. Watch his video and prepare to fall in love with this hilarious little chatterbox: https://youtu.be/F7Kk3GHBBVM?si=1HbsZ8hHg54vwveD Riley is believed to be approximately 5 months old and currently weighs about 17 pounds. As with any rescue puppy, his exact breed is always a mystery, but our best guess is he's a Boxer and Pittie mix. Whatever combination created him also gave him an expressive face, a goofy personality, and enough opinions to fill an entire conversation. One of the things we love most about Riley is that beneath all those entertaining conversations is an incredibly sweet, affectionate little guy. He can be a little reserved when meeting new people or adjusting to a new place, but once he feels comfortable, his loving personality shines. His foster says he loves being with his people and really appreciates a calm, peaceful environment where he can relax, play, and simply enjoy being part of the family. Riley is currently fostered in a home with several other dogs and fits in beautifully. He's not the type that has to be in the middle of the action every second. More often than not, he'll happily sit back and watch everyone else wrestle and chase each other around before deciding it's his turn to jump in and join the fun. It's pretty adorable watching him carefully observe everything before announcing that he's officially ready to participate. When he's not busy supervising the other dogs or sharing his latest thoughts, Riley loves carrying toys around the house. Whether he's proudly showing one off or simply keeping it close by, you'll often find him wandering around with a toy in his mouth, looking quite pleased with himself. Riley is crate trained and is doing great with his potty training. True to his personality, he's also happy to let you know exactly how he feels about crate time with a few conversations from inside his kennel. Thankfully, they're usually just Riley being Riley. He has a lot to say, and apparently the crate doesn't change that. Like any young dog, Riley will continue benefiting from training, socialization, and plenty of positive experiences as he grows. He's smart, eager to engage with the world around him, and has the kind of personality that makes every day a little more entertaining. Riley isn't just looking for a family. He's looking for people who will appreciate every goofy conversation, laugh at his dramatic commentary, and happily answer him back every now and then. If you're searching for a dog with a huge personality, a heart full of love, and enough opinions to keep life interesting, Riley might just be the perfect addition to your home. We are willing to test Riley Sweets with anything you need in order to ensure it's a perfect match. We can make anything happen!
