Story
Meet Ella! Ella is a sweet, 2-year-old female Boxer who came to us as a stray, so not much is known about her past. However, her foster parents have gotten to know her well and can attest to her lovable personality and clever nature!Ella is housebroken, though she doesn’t give obvious signals, so her adopter will need to monitor her after meals and drinks. She is incredibly smart—she can even open doors by jumping and hitting the handle! She has a bit of prey drive, so she would do best in a home without small pets.This fun-loving girl enjoys leash walks, though she can get very excited and would benefit from some basic training. Ella is also a big snuggler and loves curling up on the couch with her people.Ella is not spayed yet, and she may not be adopted until her surgery, which is scheduled for December 17, 2025. However, her foster/adopter may care for her in a foster-to-adopt arrangement until she is able to be officially adopted. PRAS will provide food, a leash, and a collar for her foster term. The foster/adopter will be responsible for transporting her to and from the shelter for her surgery.If you’re looking for a smart, affectionate, and playful Boxer to join your family, Ella might be the perfect match!

Story
Hi there, I'm Vega, a 6-year-old, 70 pound, brindle and white boxer. I'm looking for a forever home with someone who can keep up with me and love me unconditionally. I'm an extremely loving, smart and adventurous boy, who enjoys playing, running, and exploring. I'm also very smart and eager to please, especially if you have some treats for me. I'm neutered, vaccinated, and heartworm negative, so I'm ready to go whenever you are. I have a ton of drive which makes me super fun to work with and my foster mom says I’d be amazing at dog sports of any kind because of how much I like to work. My foster mom can explain more but I need a firm owner who will work me and take me on adventures because I am no couch potato. I am dog selective needing slow intros to other dogs. I should not be around cats or other small animals because of my high prey drive. I do well with kids but best with older kids because of my size and energy. I can be crate reactive and have some barrier frustration, but I’ve been learning to improve my behavior here and am doing so much better. I also need more work on leash training, as I pull hard. Devices like gentle leaders may help me learn how to walk better on leash. I have a lot of love to give. I'm very passionate and loyal to anyone I bond with. I bond quickly and can’t wait to make friends with you! I love being petted and cuddled. I'm a relatively quiet pup, and I calm well when my exercise needs are met. I'm being fostered in Hampton Roads, VA but I can be transported out of state if you're the one for me. So, what do you say? Are you ready to meet your new best friend? I'm waiting for you. Fill out an application today and we will get the process started! *Must be 21 or older to apply.

Story
Hello! My name is Monty, and I'm a handsome mutt. We are not sure what my breed is, but we are thinking I may be a Boxer and Lab mix. I have striking black fur and white markings. At just over a year old, I weigh about 85 pounds. I have great playful energy, always ready for a game of fetch, tug or whatever else you may be up for. I am a food-driven pup which makes me easy to train. I know how to sit and lay down, and I'm working on wait and stay. I absolutely love car rides and adventures. During walks, I like to sit down and lean against my walking buddy for some loving, and I have a unique way of talking with a howling voice to my people. I'm also a big fan of cuddling on the couch when it’s time to relax. I'd be great with older children due to my size and energy, and I'm friendly with other dogs. However, I may need a big playmate who can handle my size and energy. While I have not had much exposure to other dogs while in foster care, we think I might resource guard food and toys from other dogs. I'm not good with cats or small animals, so a home without them would be best for me. I've had some challenges in the past, like spinning and attacking my tail, which caused a severe injury. But thanks to my rescue, I had my tail partially docked, and with regular exercise, I'm no longer focused on my tail. I would thrive in an active home and would make a great hiking partner or possibly an agility dog. I love to leap like a deer when running in the yard, and a half-hour of chasing a ball wears me out if we can't go for a walk. A fenced-in yard would be ideal for me, especially a taller one since I'm such a big boy. I have been neutered, vaccinated, and tested negative for heartworm. I'm house-trained and crate-trained, and I'm currently working on my leash manners. I'm currently being fostered in Greenville, NC, but I can be transported if we're a match! If you're looking for a loving, energetic, and loyal companion, please fill out an application to meet me. I can't wait to find my forever home!
