Lafonda has spent plenty of time waiting—first as a stray, then at a shelter in Yuma, and now in Queen Creek, AZ—hoping for the right person to call her family. She’s a four-year-old Boxer mix, blending young energy with grown-up poise. Her time alone gave her a unique look: a shiny bald spot on her head from a past wound that healed (the fur never grew back, but it’s all part of her charm). These days, Lafonda is healthy, vaccinated, microchipped, and spayed. She loves to be active and craves engagement; fetch is her absolute favorite game, and she’s happiest when there are people to tag along with. Sitting on the sidelines isn’t her thing—she wants to be an involved member of the household, whether that’s at work, in the yard, or on the couch. Affectionate and loyal, she’ll greet you every day with a goofy grin and an honest eagerness to please. A cat-free home is best for Lafonda, as she doesn’t do well with felines, but she does well with kids and adores company. She’s still searching for someone steady, ready to play fetch, offer a soft bed, and provide the constant connection she missed for so long. Lafonda is looking for the person who finally says, “Let’s go home.” Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
