About Santos

Meet Santos, a handsome 1-year-old brindle Boxer full of personality. He originally lived with an elderly couple, but when life got a bit too slow, he took it upon himself to get into mischief. Santos is alert, sweet, and just a bit stubborn, which makes him quite the character. He’s house trained and moderately good on a leash, but prefers to cuddle with humans on the couch after a long day of play. Though he’s currently living with cats, he tends to get a little too curious, so he needs supervision around them. It's unknown how he feels about dogs and kids, but his foster family thinks he could be a good fit for families with older children. Santos loves playing ball, licking peanut butter from his Kong toy, and doling out cuddles on his own terms. As a high-energy pup, he could really benefit from a play buddy and some training to strengthen his manners. If you think Santos could be a good addition to your life, reach out to the rescue today and mention his name!
