About Jacoby

He's a large, mature Boxer mix with a short brown and white coat, and he’s already neutered. Jacoby is deeply loyal and serves as an effective guard dog. He bonds strongly with his chosen person, showering them with affection and devotion. In his foster home, Jacoby has shown unease with men and teenagers, especially when they approach his territory, but he’s calm and compliant on a leash and will let others handle him outside of his usual space. Jacoby interacts well with other dogs of both sexes, enjoys being petted, and is crate trained. He hasn’t shown any tendency to dig or climb fences. He is not suited for homes with cats or children.
