About Geronimo

Geronimo is a 16-week-old Boxer/Beagle mix, which is not a pairing you see every day. His mom and dad couldn’t be prouder, but the genetic dice rolled wild this time, landing him at Big Fluffy Dog Rescue. Nature had its own plan. He’s an endlessly happy, playful, and wildly social pup who wakes up looking for fun and tries to rope everyone into it. Geronimo loves people, loves food, and seems certain each day should be an adventure. He pays close attention to his people, eager to learn, but he comes with the energy and nose of both a Boxer and a Beagle. Sometimes, that nose leads and logic follows. This puppy is full of life and needs a family ready for the long haul: training, exercise, structure, and a willingness to deal with the wacky improvisations only a smart, food-driven pup can invent. Geronimo loves other dogs—he’s always up for play—and he is also super friendly with cats, though the feeling might not be mutual. He needs a securely fenced yard, not as a formality but to prevent chaos and let him burn his energy safely. With the right household, Geronimo will be a funny, loving, loyal, quick-to-learn companion. But this is not a starter dog for someone who wants a quiet, decorative pet. Expect noise, antics, and a lot of laughs if you choose him. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
