About Nisha

Click apply to start the adoption process. Meet Nisha, affectionately called Nish or Baby Nish, a petite 2-year-old Boxer tipping the scales at just 42 lbs. Once a skinny stray, she’s traded her tough days for a life full of cuddles and peanut butter. Nisha is the ultimate social butterfly: outgoing, loving, silly, and playful—all the hallmarks of a classic Boxer. Her superpower? Winning over everyone she meets with her wiggly, pouty charm. You’ll rarely be alone with Nisha around; her love language is snuggling—ideally right on top of you or making sure every trip to the bathroom is a shared adventure! When she’s not glued to the couch, her medium-high energy means daily walks are a must, and when zoomies strike, get ready for laughter. Nisha delights in bestowing her toys upon you (even in the shower!) and keeping a close, caring eye on her people. She especially loves joining her foster dad at work and shaking her toys to her heart’s content. With some boundaries still in training (like leash manners and keeping four paws on the floor), Nisha will thrive in a home with an appreciation for her breed and patience for her exuberance. Sturdy, dog-savvy kids are great, and while she’s happiest as the only pup, the right dog sibling might be considered. She gets on well with dog-savvy cats and is mostly housebroken, especially when her people are home. Crates aren’t her thing, but cuddling certainly is! Nisha is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and ready to become the center of your world. She’s available for adoption to IL, CT, and neighboring state residents through One More Dog Rescue. Make their next chapter their best one yet.

Questions about Nisha

What type of living environment is this breed usually best suited for?
Boxers thrive in homes where they receive plenty of attention, companionship, and exercise. They do well in both houses with securely fenced yards and larger apartments, as long as their energy needs are met with daily walks and play.
How much outdoor space does this breed typically need?
Boxers benefit from a safe, fenced outdoor area to play, though they can adapt well to homes without yards if exercised regularly. Daily walks and play sessions are essential to keep them happy and healthy.
Is this breed typically suitable for homes with children?
Boxers are generally excellent with children due to their playful and gentle nature. They are patient and protective, but supervision is important with very young kids due to their exuberance.
Is this breed usually better for first-time or experienced owners?
Boxers can adapt to first-time owners who are prepared for an energetic, strong dog and willing to provide consistent training. Experienced owners may find it easier to manage their enthusiasm and stubborn streak.
Does this breed typically get along with dogs?
Boxers are social and can get along well with other dogs, especially when properly socialized from a young age. Some may show dominant behavior, so introductions should be managed carefully.
Does this breed typically get along with cats?
With appropriate introductions, Boxers can live peacefully with dog-savvy cats. They may show curiosity or try to play, so supervision is recommended during initial meetings.

Boxers have a strong prey drive and may be too energetic for small pets like rabbits or rodents. Supervised interactions are crucial if small animals are in the home.
How does this breed typically behave with strangers?
Boxers are known for being social and friendly, but can be protective of their families. Most greet new people with enthusiasm once they sense no threat.
How long can this breed typically be left alone?
Boxers prefer not to be left alone for long periods and may develop separation anxiety. They do best in homes where someone is present most of the day.
What level of training does this breed usually require?
Boxers benefit from consistent, positive reinforcement-based training from an early age. Their intelligence and eagerness to please make them responsive, but their exuberance requires ongoing structure.
What size range does this breed generally fall into?
Boxers typically fall into the medium to large size category, usually weighing between 50 and 70 pounds as adults.
What is the typical lifespan of this breed?
Boxers generally have a lifespan of 10 to 12 years with proper care, though some may live longer.
