About Jude

Jude is a lovely brown and black brindle Boxer mix with a gentle heart and a fondness for close company. She meets new people with wagging warmth, hardly seeing anyone as a stranger. At first, she might seem a bit reserved, but as soon as she feels comfortable, she’s looking for a lap to snuggle into. Jude thrives when she has someone by her side throughout the day and doesn’t like being left alone; she’ll need a home where someone is often present or she can tag along for outings. If she’s left on her own, she should be crated in a sturdy, non-wire crate to keep her from getting into trouble, though she settles fairly quickly after a brief bout of anxiety. Jude is house trained, knows “leave it,” and gets along well with dogs and cats, even if she sometimes can’t resist a playful chase. She bonds easily, is soft to the touch, and has the excited appetite of a true food lover—she does best with a slow feeder to keep her from wolfing down her meals. If you’re around to provide steady company and friendly pets, Jude will reward you with affection and loyalty, wrapped up in her velvety brindle coat. She was born November 5th, making her a determined and loyal Scorpio. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
