About Little Dough Boy

Little Dough Boy is a one-year-old Boxer mix with a big personality and a matching energy level. At about 48 pounds, he throws his heart into playtime and relishes any chance to show off his puppy antics. He's still learning some boundaries—he can get mouthy and rowdy like a typical adolescent dog, but after he burns off his energy, he transforms into a devoted and cuddly companion. Food and toys are high-value for him, so he prefers not to share those treasures and does best when his space is respected during mealtime or play. Meeting new dogs can make Little Dough Boy uncertain at first, but with patience and slow introductions, he sometimes warms up. He’s not able to live with cats and is happiest as the only animal in his home, where he can be the center of attention. Households with children should have kids 13 or older who can handle his boisterous style. If you’re looking for an energetic, affectionate dog who will keep you on your toes and then curl up for snuggles, Little Dough Boy is waiting to meet you. Ready to meet your new best friend?
