3/5/25-Demspey is a super sweet boy, doing well & loves to play. Anyone that can burn his puppy energy would be a good match.  Don’t let his good looks fool you, he is definitely a boxer puppy still in a big body! He needs someone willing to deal with all the puppy type things & work on them with him.  He has some pee accidents in the house & he has ripped open 2 dog beds. That’s what I get when I have to go into the office. He showed me! LOL 

3/2/25-We have had Demsey for just over a week now. He is settling in nicely.  For the first few days the young kids made him nervous & he would bark directly in their face. This behavior has stopped and now is comfortable with the kids. He does have poop accidents in the house. We are not sure if it’s intentional or accidental . He is definitely still a puppy and has ate some of the kids food and whatever he can reach on the counter. He still resists his crate but will settle down within the first 5 minutes.   Dempsey goes on daily walks. He does pull when he sees something of interest; a bird, squirrel, people and even his own shadow. Lol He is also very vocal . He is with another dog who is hypersensitive to sound so I am not sure if they playoff each other. He’s a joy though.  He is a great cuddler at night and playful during the day. You can easily fall in love with him so quickly just on his looks alone. 

2/23/25-Demspey has been a fun addition . He is very much a pup! He walks well on a leash . Simple commands need some work but very treat motivated . He isn’t afraid to share us his bark let us know when he hears the ice marker drops! Lol He does resist his crate but settles down eventually. Not sure if he makes a good work from home co-worker?!? Big cute distraction at least.

2/21/25-Dempsey (white on face) & Kalani are very handsome & sweet sibling 14 month old boxer owner surrenders coming into rescue tomorrow. They were owned by a family member that sadly passed away. This family took them on but they have young children and busy lives and having dogs wasn’t part of the plan & they are struggling with normal young Boxer boy craziness. Their current owner said they are eFence, crate and house trained & good with other dogs & kids of all ages. Updates soon from both their foster homes.
