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.

Adopting in Dayton, OH

Dayton's strong sense of community and affordable living make it a practical and welcoming city for pet adoption. The Birthplace of Aviation has shelters and rescue groups dedicated to finding homes for animals across the Miami Valley.

With over 340 miles of paved multi-use trails - the largest paved trail network in the country - and beautiful riverfront parks, Dayton offers adopted pets an incredible outdoor lifestyle that few cities can match. The extensive trail system means you and your pet will never run out of new places to explore.

Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

22°F to 38°F

Dec – Feb

Cold winters with snow and occasional ice storms. The paved trail network remains partially cleared and accessible. Protect paws from road salt and dress short-haired breeds in warm coats for winter walks.

Spring

35°F to 65°F

Mar – May

Spring brings rapid warming and occasional severe thunderstorms. The trail network dries out quickly after rain and becomes ideal for long walks. Tornado watches are possible from April through June in the Miami Valley.

Summer

62°F to 85°F

Jun – Aug

Warm and humid summers call for early morning or evening trail walks. The shaded river sections of the trail network are cooler than exposed segments. Keep pets hydrated and watch for signs of heat stress.
