About Daddy Long Legs

Meet Daddy Long Legs! This 5-year old incredibly docile soul came to us from an owner who is trying to make sure he lands in a perfect quiet spot where he can be his best self. Daddy ‘O was originally part of a massive hoarding case two years ago that spanned MA – NH where 80 boxers were seized and adopted out among several organizations. These boxers had not been socialized or seen the light of day and were very fearful of the outside world. His last owner did everything he could for Daddy! But he lives in a busy urban area and realized that this environment was holding him back from truly relaxing. He made the selfless decision to surrender him to our rescue out of love, and we are thrilled to report he is thriving in a quiet foster home away from the hustle and bustle of city living. With his looooong skinny legs, Daddy lives up to his name. He is an itty-bitty boxer at only 35 lbs, with the best nubbin tail around! His inky coat with brindle markings is gorgeous. And that underbite? Be still my heart! Like his namesake, everything about Daddy is harmless and innocent, without a single ounce of venom in his personality. He is a homebody and would prefer a predictable and consistent routine in a quiet and peaceful neighborhood. Another doggie sibling (or more!) is a must, as DLL loves dogs and is learning so much about how to be a dog from his foster siblings. He bounds around the yard like a gazelle, experiencing a newfound joy in being outside that he couldn’t understand for most of his life. Daddy is a pure delight and will shower you with love, smiles, and all that is good in the world. Daddy Long Leg’s top 3 priorities: 1. A family who will patiently love him for all of his days, realizing he will never be a brewery dog or adventure companion. 2. A family who lives in a quiet area, is committed to a consistent routine, and can keep Daddy’s world small for the foreseeable future. 3. A family who has a resident dog or dogs to show this little man the ropes and can teach him what is means to be a dog! He is eager to learn and enjoy all that life has to offer!
