About Bones

Bones is a young, energetic male Boxer currently thriving in foster care in Cedaredge. He has recently mastered the command to sit and is learning to lay down, showing rapid progress with basic obedience. Bones enjoys his kennel, doesn't chew on anything apart from toys, and has no accidents indoors. His playful nature means he can jump on people out of excitement, especially when he wants interaction. A home with a fenced yard would be ideal as he loves to run and play. Bones is a friendly pup who's great with older children, although his energy might be too much for younger ones. While he enjoys the company of other dogs and humans and is generally calm, he has a playful obsession with cats which may require training or a cat-free home. In new environments, he's confident and calm, making him a joy to have around. His foster has also noted he can be a bit intense when hyper but is easy to redirect. If you're interested in bringing this lovable companion into your home, reach out to his foster and get to know him better. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
