About Dempsey

Dempsey is an 8-year-old Boxer with a loyal, affectionate nature and a heart full of energy. Named after Jack Dempsey, he’s spent nearly a year in a senior dog sanctuary waiting for his forever family. Dempsey takes a little while to warm up, especially in unfamiliar situations, but once he feels comfortable, he’ll shower you with love—slobbery kisses are part of the package. He enjoys long walks, playful runs, and sticking his head out car windows. He’s looking for a home where he can be the only dog, as he can be selective when it comes to sharing his space with other pups. A quieter home with less foot traffic would make him happiest. Dempsey is house trained and has good energy for his age, though he still needs help refining his manners, especially when he gets excited and forgets not to jump on his favorite people. If you want a devoted companion with the spirit of a champion, Dempsey could be your match. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
