About Boxer Dogs

Boxers are high-energy, fun-loving dogs with an infectious zest for life. Known for their playful antics and expressive faces, they maintain a puppy-like enthusiasm well into adulthood. Boxers are natural clowns who love making their families laugh.

Adopting a Boxer means adding boundless energy and unwavering loyalty to your home. They're patient and protective with children, making them outstanding family dogs. Their muscular build and alert nature also make them excellent watchdogs.

Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

40°F to 65°F

Dec – Feb

Mild winters with occasional freezes are the best season for outdoor activities. Paynes Prairie is comfortable for long walks. The cooler weather reduces mosquito and parasite activity slightly but year-round prevention remains important.

Spring

52°F to 82°F

Mar – May

Beautiful spring with wildflowers along the prairie and trails. Pollen can be heavy. Alligator activity increases with warming temperatures, so keep pets leashed and away from water bodies.

Summer

72°F to 92°F

Jun – Aug

Hot and humid with daily afternoon thunderstorms. Walk pets only in early morning. Mosquitoes are extremely active, and heartworm prevention is critical. The springs offer cool swimming options but watch for alligators.
