I am with my new family now. They came to Lone Star Boxer Rescue to be rescued from the loss of their beloved Boxer Tug. I came in with lots of energy and lots of love in the form of kisses. It was a little strange at first, they had a lot of rules to abide by, but after a while I became comfortable with them and them with me. Now it’s jogging, walking, playing….oh and more learning. I also try to help around the house, by grabbing clothes to put them way….I just don’t know where they belong. In the evening when we’re relaxing, I also act as a pillow. I love the closeness, I’m loved by all of them.

That lion looking animal is Emily. When we first met we didn’t really see much of each other, because when we were together, I barked at her and she hissed at me. I wondered how long it would be before she moved out. As time went on it appeared she wasn’t going anywhere and neither was I, so we had to learn to get along. I understand she was best friends with the previous dog that was here, so she couldn’t be all bad. My family took the time to bring us together gradually at first and then extending our time together under their watchful eye. After about 5 weeks, we seemed to have forgotten what all that barking and hissing was about. She chases me and I chase her, she’s actually quite fun. And don’t let that lion appearance fool you, she’s really just a pussycat.

There are a couple of birds in my home that are locked in their crate all day long. Since they don’t come out, I tend to forget about them, until they start making a lot of noise and I do as everyone else and tune them out!

Some people think because I’m part Pit Bull I may be dangerous, but I’m also part Boxer too, which are friendly and loyal. My new family thinks there is no such thing as bad dogs, only bad dog owners. They enjoy teaching me and I love to learn. They say I’m doing great! This is truly my forever home.
