About Bodhi

Meet Bodhi, your soon-to-be best friend! This charming 5-and-a-half-year-old neutered male Boxer is crate trained, house broken, and up to date on his vaccinations. Currently being fostered in Lacey, WA, Bodhi boasts an adorable underbite, soulful eyes, and a big, lovable personality that’s bound to steal your heart. He’s smart, sweet, and exceptionally well-mannered, easily matching the energy of those around him. Whether napping or playing ball, Bodhi wants to be by his people’s side. Though he’s still settling into his new routine with his rambunctious foster fur-sister, his playful side is coming to light. Due to his previous home changes, Bodhi would thrive best in an adult-only, child-free environment where his boundaries are respected. While he can be a bit hesitant with strangers and dogs, slow introductions will help him feel at ease. Bodhi adores fresh air and walks, and he can run several miles if you're looking for a running buddy. Though he pulls a bit on the leash, he responds well to redirection and isn’t bothered by squirrels or bunnies at a distance. He’s mastered the doggy door and knows basic commands like “kennel” and “place.” While he doesn’t guard food or treats, Bodhi appreciates respect for his favorite chew toys. He’s adjusting well to sleeping in a crate and doesn’t protest much, though some separation anxiety is expected as he adapts to changes in his life. Bodhi serves as a fantastic reminder of the special nature of Boxers. If you’re searching for a big, sweet, goofy companion eager to join a family, this boy may be your perfect match. Apply today to meet Bodhi and start your journey together!
