Story
My mother passed away and we already have 3 dogs and 2 cats. He really needs to be with an older person who is settled, stays home, and wants to keep him inside with them. He does bark if there is alot going on in his surroundings. He is dominant with male dogs so would do best with only female other dogs. He is great with cats. He loves snuggles, being close to you, and sleeping under the covers.

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. 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. 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 is food motivated and eager to learn, which makes her a fantastic candidate for training with positive reinforcement. 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.  If you’d like to meet Felicity, please fill out an adoption application at: https://luckydaypuppies.org/adopt/ ##2617311##
