Olympian dog who can jump higher than me lol. His play drive is off the charts, he will love anyone who enjoys fetch. He is a great dog, good on and off leash although having a yard and some freedom would be ideal. Ideally needs an experienced owner to show him love.

Story
Harry is the most Awesome loving happy little guys you’ll ever meet! Loves other dogs, he’s very gentle and loves to snuggle, ride in car, and leash walks like a champ doing his victory lap at the Westminster Show! This little love is Crate & potty trained, Neutered, and Fully vetted. Harry was an unclaimed stray from a southern kill shelter who came to us dirty, unvetted, full of flees, worms & bald from ringworm and fleas. He’s healthy and happy as we’ve treated his flea & ringworm issues and hair has grown in very soft & silky. Harry loves other dogs & hadn’t met a human he doesn’t like & will ask gently if he can sit on your lap but respects if you say no, He like rides in car too. Plays nice with toys… Harry is the perfect dog for experienced adopters and to those new to dogs. IF INTERESTED IN ADOPTING YOU MUST INCLUDE YOUR NAME, CITY & STATE, # of people & pets in home AND TELL US ABOUT HOW HARRY WOULD FIT IN WITH YOUR DAILY ROUTINE & YOUR LIFESTYLE. Application & home visit required. Pet-prospective adopter meetings are reserved for verified applicants only and take place in Southern Vermont. We do not adopt 1st come 1st served but rather accept & review multiple applicants so that we can choose the home most suitable to meet our dogs needs. Our Rescue is Foster Home Volunteer run and Depends on Donations to continue our important work. Please donate via PayPal.me/BoxerRescueVT thank you for your interest.

Story
Hi! I'm Kahlua (6F). I LOVE attention, snuggling, kisses, and fetch. I'm looking for someone with a big yard to play in who doesn't mind having me as the only animal in their house. I have so much love for my people that I can be very protective which unfortunately makes me unsociable to other animals. My underbite and big ears make me a big cutie and you'll never have to sweep in the kitchen ever again! - Kahlua was adopted into a home with another pup, who she was great friends with for years. As she has started to age, her anxiety and behavioral issues have increased. She went through a long training program and has some solid general obedience skills, but she has unfortunately proven unable to share her home with another animal with these developments. For both dogs sake, I am sadly looking to rehome her where she can be the center of attention. She is an incredibly affectionate (to humans) pup and when she looks at you with her big eyes you'll know she loves you. -
