About Selena

Selena is a big-hearted goofball who radiates positive energy. She greets everyone with open enthusiasm, making her nearly impossible not to love. With her playful Boxer spirit, Selena loves nothing more than a long walk or chance to sprint around the yard—she really needs a couple hours of exercise each day to stay at her best. Despite a recent stretch in a boarding facility, she remains fully house trained and hasn't had a single accident. Snuggles are her specialty, and she'll gladly be your shadow around the house. Selena does have a heart murmur, but a cardiologist has monitored her; she feels good and just needs a pill twice daily, which she happily takes in a treat. She's a bit of an escape artist, so sturdy containment is a must. Selena should not live with cats or small animals due to her prey drive, and currently, she doesn't get along with other dogs, so being your one-and-only is best. If you want a funny, energetic, and affectionate companion who loves attention, Selena will quickly steal your heart. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
