About Garth

Garth is a delightful puppy rescued from a shelter, ready to find his forever home. With lots of polka dots and an adorable squishy pink face, he believes he's quite the charmer. Still in his puppy phase, he’s mastering potty training and learning what to chew on—Boxers are clever, and with some patience and training, Garth will thrive. He loves lounging in the grass and wrestling with his brother. Though a bit shy, he enjoys being around people and other dogs. Garth gets along well with his foster siblings, which include a female Boxer and a small male dog. He’s still adjusting to the world and can be wary of people in hats, barking until he feels comfortable. After a bout of playtime, Garth enjoys snuggling on a big dog bed or curling up in a lap. He sleeps well in his kennel at night and during the day, sharing space with his brother. If you're interested in giving Garth a loving home, please fill out an application!
