About Vega

Meet Vega, an adventurous 6-year-old Boxer weighing in at 70 pounds. This brindle and white charmer is on the lookout for a forever home where he can thrive. Vega is extremely loving and energetic, ready to join you on all sorts of adventures. With a mind that loves to work, he's eager to learn and would excel in dog sports. His foster mom describes him as friendly and playful, but he requires a firm owner who can give him the structure he needs. While he gets along with some dogs, he needs slow introductions and is not suited for homes with cats or small animals due to his high prey drive. Older kids will be his best friends, as they can better handle his energy and size. Vega has been working on his leash training and can be a bit reactive in a crate, but he’s making great strides. He loves to cuddle and will quickly bond with a loving family that understands his needs. Based in Zuni, VA, Vega can also be transported to his perfect match if you’re not local. If you’re ready to welcome this loving pup into your life, fill out an application today! This could be the start of something paw-some.
