About Remy

Remy is an irresistible 6-year-old Boxer with a calm and sweet demeanor. Currently residing in Winthrop, MA, this gentle 50-pound male enjoys playing with chew toys and loves his daily 30-minute walks. While he takes his naptime seriously, he also thrives on the companionship of others. Though Remy is friendly with resident dogs, he needs some time to warm up to new people and pets. He can feel anxious with unfamiliar faces getting close, but he’s actively training to build confidence in such situations. The care he’s receiving currently focuses on introducing him to new experiences to ease his anxiety. Remy came into care due to abandonment and is now awaiting a stable home. Ideally, he’d like to settle into a new family before the holidays, so early meetings are encouraged. This adoption needs an experienced owner who understands large dogs, preferably with older children and no cats. Ready to give Remy the forever home he deserves?
