Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.heartworm positive Lagos is just a big ball of love and somewhat unaware of his size. He has come leaps and bounds since coming into HBR as a stray. He lives with an 11 yr old human child, with who he is obsessed. His fur siblings are two big dogs and a little old man Brussels. He also has fellow foster sister who weighs about 8lbs and he loves her, which is progress as he used to see little dogs as prey. He does have an issue with other large male dogs so he would be best in a home with female dogs or small to medium males. He also needs a strong handler who will teach him boundaries.  He is vocal when he wants attention or needs to go out but is more endearing than annoying. Lol. He will sneak onto a couch or bed in stealth mode but obeys when asked to get down. Lagos loves to be around kids but they should be 8 and older, just because of his size and goofiness. He is potty and crate trained. While he loves to go for walks, he will try to chase cats and squirrels. Oh and absolutely NO cats in his home. When it is family time, he just wants to be close to his humans. When foster mom is around, he lays on the ground close to the small human. When foster mom is not around, the small human lets him get on beds and couches and he cuddles like he just cant get enough affection. Lagos is such a sweet boy who is so deserving of his own family. While his foster family absolutely loves and adores him, they want him to have a forever family so they may continue to foster other dogs in need.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.April 22, 2024, 12:51 pm

I am crate and house trained, loves to go on car rides, long walks on my leash, belly rubs and will twirl in circles when it’s meal time! I am such a smart girl that knows how to sit, stay, up, lay down and go to my kennel. Entertaining and a cuddle bug all in one package. Now for my dislikes…In case of thunderstorms, fireworks, or the vacuum(yes I know it’s a strange one;   don’t judge ) I will want to cuddle up next to you or take refuge in my kennel until the noise is over. I’m looking forward to meeting you and cuddling on the couch watching a movie together.   Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.April 22, 2024, 12:51 pm

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.BIG, STRONG MANBOERNE here and I'm an older, big strong man. I found myself at a local shelter and then these folks from Houston Boxer Rescue came and picked me up and now I have shelter, food, and love.  As you can see, I'm handsome.  I have lovely eyes, soft fur, and a heart of gold.  I'm approximately 6-7 years old, so I've been around the Boxer block. I know many commands and I'm a very nice fellow to all other humans.  I will do well on a walk.  I was in a foster home with other dogs, but I want to be the KING of the house.  Therefore, I will do best with a home where I am the MAN....like the only man, dog, critter.  I will reward you with all of my love and affection for the rest of my life. So, if you are looking for the Big, Strong, Silent type of MAN....I'm your guy.  Apply for Boerne today...you will not be disappointed.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.April 22, 2024, 12:51 pm
