About Parmesan

Parmesan is a four-year-old Boxer with a story. Found underweight with cuts and scars, she’s made an impressive recovery in foster care and has become loyal, loving, and eager for affection. She’s housebroken, crate trained, sleeps through the night, and has a solid daily routine—she’ll tell you when it’s time to go outside, heading straight to the door. Parmesan enjoys car rides, walks, and sprinting around the yard for her zoomies. She will benefit from some leash work, and a home with a fenced yard is best for her energy. Social with people and quick to bond, Parmesan thrives when she’s the focus, nestling in close or trailing after you for company. At times she can be a bit pushy for affection, but she listens well to gentle correction. She does best as the only pet and should be placed in an adult-only home. Parmesan isn’t dog-friendly and hasn’t been cat tested; she really is happiest as the center of attention. She’s also a powerful chewer, loving durable toys like rubber balls and bully sticks, but plush or easily swallowed toys won’t work for her. Parmesan is spayed, current on vaccines, and looking for the right person willing to give a devoted dog a second chance. Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
