2/1 - Pappy is a goofy puppy. He gets along well with other dogs, we are unsure about cats. Due to his age, we would prefer a home that is not gone a full work day. Pappy is a big boy and is due for some obedience training.
 

1/8 - Pappy is at his new foster home and doing great. He is getting along great with the resident male boxer. Pappy is a big boy that needs an owner willing to do some obedience training. He is still very young and needs guidance. Due to his age, we would prefer Pappy go to a home with someone that’s home more often than not and a home with another dog to help burn off some of his puppy energy. We do not know how Pappy is with cats as he has no history so a home with no cats is a must.

12/18 - Pappy is coming back into rescue as his owner has moved to a home where she cannot keep him.  Pappy is now a little over a year old and weights about 90 LBS.

7/17 - Pappy aka Dozer has been with us just a few short days but he is settling in nicely at his foster home. He has been cat tested and would do fine with a dog savvy cat, but may be too much for a trusting cat with his pouncing and nibbling he does when playing. He will do well with older children as he seems to jump on adults but so far not on kids and I have a 6 year old and 10 year old which he pays no mind to.

 

Dozer is going to be very big when grown judging by the size of his paws therefore we feel it is possible that Dozer is not 100% boxer, he could possibly be part American Bulldog.  Whatever the mix he is extremely gorgeous. He loves leash walks and only pulls when he sees people or animals, so that will have to be worked on by a dedicated owner. He does know some basic commands such as sit and stay, but when in play it is hard to get his attention.  He sleeps in his crate quietly at night and has been crated for short periods during the day also just to keep him from any mischief he may cause but so far no chewing or going to the bathroom in the house when left out.

 

We have nick named him Dozer because he really acts like a bulldozer plowing through things, just another thing we are working on in the foster home. He loves water and got the chance to visit a lake this weekend and had such a great time playing! 

 

He would do OK as an only dog as he seems to be more into pleasing his owner, but if there is another dog in his new adoptive home it must have a similar energy level and be tolerant to his very mouthy play.   Keep an eye out for more updates as we make progress with this wonderful pup. He will make a very loyal companion to someone as he loves to be challenged and seems very willing to learn new things.
