Kitty (18057247)

American Bulldog Boxer

Female, 3 yrs 5 mos

Puslinch, ON

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Now Accepting Adoption Applications for Kitty Meet Kitty, an approximately 5-year-old Boxer mix who weighs 45 lbs. She is a spayed female, fully vetted, and ready to finally find the loving home she deserves. Kitty is an incredibly social, affectionate, and loyal dog. After being used for breeding and living without a permanent home for the past two years, she is more than ready to settle into life as a cherished family member. She thrives on companionship and wants nothing more than to be close to her people. Despite her mid-size build, Kitty is a certified lap dog. Whether you’re working from home, relaxing on the couch, or heading to bed, Kitty will be right there. If she wants up, she’ll gently place her paws on your leg to politely ask to lay on your lap. She’s happiest when she’s near you, splooting on the floor next to you or cuddling up any chance she can get. Kitty enjoys the company of other dogs and has played well with them. She would benefit from having another patient, friendly dog in the home who can match her energy and tolerate her playful silliness. She has a lot of enthusiasm for life and loves to stay active. She loves walks and outdoor time, but we do not recommend off-leash activities. Kitty has poor recall and a strong interest in small critters, so a secure leash and fenced area are best. Kitty does have allergies that require ongoing care. She is stable on a strict hypoallergenic diet and receives medication. As long as her food is carefully managed with no cross-contamination, her allergies remain well controlled. Kitty is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and on parasite prevention. Located in Puslinch Adoption fee: $150 Kitty is ready to give her whole heart to the right home. To apply to adopt Kitty, please fill out the form below.
