Adopt a Boxer (short coat)

Hey everybody I’m Zara!

I’m a sweet young baby girl and when I say baby I mean BABY!  My foster mom says I think I’m a human baby and love to be held and cuddled and rocked like a baby (I prefer being cradled when held and when cuddling).

I’m a queen snuggler with humans and my foster siblings (dogs).

My foster mommy says I’m sweet as pie but I’m feisty. I think I’m big and tough and love to play rough with my fur siblings.

Foster mommy thinks I’ll be a dominant female as I’m already standing over my foster siblings and trying to boss them around.

I love people but I’m leery of new people (mainly men). I bark a lot when introduced to new people but it may be because of my hectic past as a young baby. I’ve bounced around a lot and this is my first stable place.

Foster mommy says  I’m extremely smart because I learned the doggy door and potty trained in her house in first 5 hours. I also know how to sit and lay down on command (mainly if there is a treat nearby).

I was initially raised with farm animals (pig and horse) and foster mommy was told I did well with them, but she’s not sure how true that is because my horse sibling stepped on me. The Vet cleared me but I still limp some after rough playing or sleeping a long time. Foster mommy says it doesn’t slow me down much as I’m full of energy.

Foster mom thinks I’ll do best with a fur sibling to help show me the ropes and for companionship. I adore my fur siblings and my humans.

I hate to be outside alone but foster mommy always seems surprised as I go out the doggy door on my own and choose to sunbathe even though she still inside in the kitchen (I don’t think she knows that I see her always watching me through window as it was rumored I can hop fences if left alone outside).

I can’t wait to find my forever family. I’ll need someone who is patient with me, who’s willing to train me and help me burn my energy everyday. I can be very puppy like and chew things if I’m bored and not kept preoccupied.
