Story
Pie is a beautiful 65-pound German Shepherd/Husky mix with a gentle heart and a resilient spirit. Pie's journey hasn't always been easy. She was surrendered to Boxers & Buddies shortly after giving birth to a litter of puppies when her previous owner could no longer care for them. Once her puppies found loving homes, it was finally Pie's turn to be the one receiving all the love and attention.More recently, Pie was adopted but unfortunately returned when her adopter was unable to move forward with the medical care she needed. She underwent surgery to have a painful eye removed and is recovering beautifully. Pie hasn't let this setback slow her down one bit—she's happy, resilient, and ready to begin the next chapter of her life with a family who will love her just as she is.This sweet, affectionate girl has settled beautifully into foster care. She gets along well with the five resident dogs in her foster home and also lives peacefully with cats. She enjoys encouraging her feline friends to play, so any future cat companions should be comfortable sharing their home with a friendly, playful dog.Like many German Shepherd mixes, Pie is intelligent and enjoys having both her mind and body engaged. While she also appreciates relaxing with her people, she'll thrive in a home that provides daily walks, enrichment activities, training, and opportunities to learn. Without enough mental stimulation, she may become bored and look for her own entertainment—including testing the limits of a fence if left unattended outdoors.Because Pie is a strong, enthusiastic 65-pound dog who is still working on polite greetings, we'd recommend a home with children 5 years or older. With continued positive reinforcement, structure, and consistency, she's already showing what an incredible companion she can be.Pie would thrive in a home that will:❤️ Continue her training and provide consistent guidance.❤️ Offer daily exercise and mental enrichment.❤️ Appreciate a loyal, loving, and intelligent companion.❤️ Give her the fresh start she truly deserves.We require professional obedience training from a certified trainer for ALL adoptions.

Story
Supe is a beautiful 59-pound German Shepherd with a gentle heart and a story of resilience. She was found as a stray in California while caring for her litter of nine puppies. Despite the challenges she has faced, Supe has been a devoted mother and is now ready for a chance at a life of her own.Supe is a sweet girl who wants to trust, but the world can still feel like a scary place. New people, unfamiliar environments, and sudden changes can be overwhelming for her, and she is looking for a patient family willing to let her move at her own pace. She is not looking for perfection—just kindness, understanding, and a safe place to decompress.As she settles in and learns that she is finally safe, Supe continues to show her gentle nature. She enjoys quiet companionship and is beginning to discover that people can be a source of comfort rather than fear.Supe would thrive in a calm home that can provide:• Patience and understanding as she builds confidence• A predictable routine and stable environment• Positive reinforcement and gentle guidance• Time to adjust and learn to trustWatching a fearful dog blossom is one of the most rewarding experiences in rescue, and Supe has so much potential waiting to shine through. She deserves a family that will see beyond her uncertainty and give her the chance to become the confident, loved companion she was always meant to be.Before adoption, all Boxers and Buddies dogs are spayed/neutered, up-to-date with age appropriate vaccinations, microchipped.

Story
💙Jaxson💙is around 1.5 yrs old, still a puppy, weighs 45-50lbs pure love❤️ ! He’s a sweet and smart boy with the perfect balance of calm and play. He is eager and curious on walks (and making great progressive on walking loose leash!). At home, he loves bursts of fetch and find games but he also loves to chill (this includes getting some pets, being brushed, smelling the outside air, or sleeping). He becomes his most energetic and excited self at the dog parks and doggy daycare!😻 Jaxson would love to be in a home with an another dog! He has lived with other dogs before and loves having a dog buddy/sibling! Jaxson is potty trained, knows basic commands (sit, lay down, and come) and he is a quick learner! He doesn’t bark, the most he does is howl when reunited with his daycare pals or whine when he is feeling antsy on a walk! He loves to chew but he only stick to toys or cardboard boxes (he hasn’t chewed up a single home item in his foster’s home!) Overall, Jaxson is such a good boy and would be an amazing addition to a loving family🏡 . He is available for fostering, foster to adopt, or better yet, straight adoption! Already neutered, microchipped and current on vaccines. Currently being cared in Southern California, Jaxson can be transported to northern states such as Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, or other locations within the continental United States, where a loving experienced family awaits to welcome him.

Story
Meet Koda! Hes a approximately 6 years old with the first kisses of gray in his beard, hes a very sweet very cozy dog. He enjoys nap time as much as he enjoys chasing a ball. Koda came to me from a rough situation and its become clear he needs a nice home to retire in. He is well behaved but not highly trained. Could use work with leash training. He loves his kitty and k9 friends so gently, even sleeps with my cats. Crate trained but can be left out alone just fine. Koda would prefer a home with land or a yard he can access whenever he likes hes used to being outdoors. I know he got all his shots when he was young but I dont know when his most recent was. He loves to shred soft toys so be warned but he leaves furniture alone and he is actually the most trustworthy dog ive ever met with food. If I had a bigger home and more time/energy for him id keep him forever but he needs more than I can offer him at this time, so please consider this good boy! He'd love you forever ❤️

Hello. My name is Red and I have a few thoughts to share about myself. I am a smart guy who loves snuffle mats and toys that make my brain work. I can be hesitant to meet new people sometimes...other times I am the happiest guy ever and will snuggle right up to people! I would love a family of my very own, treats on the ready when I do something awesome and lots of pets! Sigh...I hope dreams come true!
