AABR Boxer

Meet George! George is a fawn and white, 3 yr old male boxer weighing approximately 70lbs. He is currently living with a female boxer and they get along great. George loves to go for walks and I must say, he is fabulous on a leash. If you walk, he walks right beside you, if you jog, he trots right along side of you. George is also a good watch dog. If a stranger is at your door, George will certainly let you know that there is company. George is also housetrained. He has no problem being alone for eight hours if need be. He sleeps through the night. George likes to sleep in our bed with us, or in the spare bedroom on the bed, or sometimes he sleeps out in the living room on the floor or couch. George knows some commands such as sit, stay, and heel, and catch. You can always count on George to catch any treats that are thrown his way. However, he sometimes needs a treat to sit. He likes to play with toys but would sometimes prefer to have them all to himself, rather than sharing. George is not your typical high-energy boxer. He has been very calm since we've had him. He likes to eat, sleep and lay around the house. He plays well with our female boxer, but she is the one that provokes play; I think he could take it or leave it.

However, George was not too thrilled about meeting our 3-4 year old neighbor boy. I've been told that George is great with older kids, 7 and up, but we're unsure about smaller children. Although George gets along well with other dogs, I think he would prefer being the only dog in the family. That way, he wouldn't have to share toys or food, or the owner's attention. George is extremely lovable and would love to think that he is a lap dog. He loves to give kisses and big bear hugs. He's very sweet and given the chance, he will snuggle with you all day and night. Please consider this adorable boy for your forever home.
