Story
These seven orphaned black boxer mix puppies are starting their lives with hope, resilience, and a whole lot of heart. Appropriately named the New Year Wishes Litter, each puppy represents a wish for 2026—happiness, peace, love, and second chances. Despite their rough start, they have thrived with loving care and are ready to find families who will help them grow into confident, loyal companions. Like all puppies, they will need patience, training, and commitment, but they promise a lifetime of love in return. Pax is named for peace, and he delivers it in the best possible way—through puppy kisses, warm snuggles, and the kind of love that instantly lowers your blood pressure. This handsome black boxer mix balances affection and fun with ease, making him a joy to be around from the moment you meet him. He has a goofy, playful personality that keeps everyone smiling and believes that life is best experienced at full speed—or better yet, with a joyful pounce, because walking is clearly overrated. Pax is the life of the party and dives headfirst into every new situation with confidence and curiosity. He loves meeting new people, entertaining everyone with his puppy antics, and is always ready to make a new friend. Despite his high-energy, fun-loving nature, Pax also has a sweet, affectionate side and thrives on connection with his people. His New Year wish is for an active, social family who will enjoy his outgoing personality, continue his training, and give him plenty of opportunities to explore, play, and be adored.

Appropriately named the New Year Wishes Litter, each puppy represents a wish for 2026—happiness, peace, love, and second chances. Despite their rough start, they have thrived with loving care and are ready to find families who will help them grow into confident, loyal companions. Like all puppies, they will need patience, training, and commitment, but they promise a lifetime of love in return. Hope may be the smallest of the litter, but she has a quiet confidence that shines through in everything she does. As the runt, she represents resilience and determination—and she certainly doesn’t let her size slow her down. Thoughtful and observant, Hope likes to take in the action from the sidelines before deciding when to jump in, showing a sweet mix of curiosity and independence. Her favorite activities include a good game of keep-away with a toy and her siblings, proudly carrying around sticks, and soaking up the simple joys of puppyhood. Hope has a stunning chocolate brown coat and the softest brown eyes, and one look at her is usually all it takes to fall in love. Hope balances playfulness with affection beautifully. She’s just as happy joining in for fun as she is settling in for cuddles once the excitement winds down. Her New Year wish is for a patient, loving family who will appreciate her gentle approach to life, cheer her on as she builds confidence, and give her a safe place to grow and thrive.

Despite their rough start, they have thrived with loving care and are ready to find families who will help them grow into confident, loyal companions. Like all puppies, they will need patience, training, and commitment, but they promise a lifetime of love in return. Felicity’s name means great happiness, and she delivers it with confidence, charisma, and a whole lot of personality. This stunning black Boxer girl definitely gives off strong girl boss energy and natural leadership vibes. She’s smart, self-assured, and loves being involved in whatever her people are doing. Felicity is food motivated and eager to learn, which makes her a fantastic candidate for training with positive reinforcement. She’s also a very expressive young lady—opinionated in the most entertaining way and never shy about sharing her thoughts, especially at mealtime. In fact, she’ll happily sing for her supper, letting you know exactly when she’s ready to eat. Despite her bold and confident nature, Felicity has a wonderfully sweet side. After a full day of play and puppy adventures, she’s perfectly content to crawl right into your lap for nightly snuggles, proving that even a leader loves her cuddle time. Felicity’s New Year wish is a family who will appreciate her big personality, encourage her intelligence, and cherish both her playful spirit and her loving heart. Felicity would thrive with a family who enjoys a confident, communicative dog and is excited to continue training, provide structure, and embrace her big personality. She’d be a wonderful match for someone who values both brains and cuddles and wants a true companion to grow alongside.

Despite their rough start, they have thrived with loving care and are ready to find families who will help them grow into confident, loyal companions. Like all puppies, they will need patience, training, and commitment, but they promise a lifetime of love in return. Goldie is a boxer mix with the heart of a true explorer.  She represents a golden year ahead—full of warmth, love, and bright beginnings. She loves to investigate anything that catches her eye and isn't really a "follow the crowd" kind of puppy -- she would much rather take her time and soak in everything going on around her.  Curious, thoughtful, and independent, Goldie enjoys her adventures...but she's always quick to abandon them if cuddles are being offered.  She is the perfect mix of a brave little adventurer and a sweet snuggle bug. If you’d like to meet Goldie, please fill out an adoption application at: https://luckydaypuppies.org/adopt/ ##2617312##
