Zuke

Boxer Mix

Available now

Young pupMediumIn foster care

Are you on the hunt for an extraordinary adventure partner who's not only brimming with energy but also has a brain to match? Say hello to Zuke, the athletic, brave, and curious Boxer mix who's ready to explore the world with you! Zuke is a young pup who is as smart as she is playful. Whether she's tackling a challenging puzzle toy or navigating a new trail, her problem-solving skills are top-notch. She's the kind of dog who thinks outside the box — or in this case, outside the crate.

Care notes

This clever girl is up to date on all her vaccines, flea, and heartworm preventatives, and she's even microchipped. She has been spayed and is fully vetted and raring to go! Zuke has dipped her paws into house and crate training, but she's looking for a dedicated adopter to continue building these habits and teach her some cool new tricks. Think of her as a blank canvas — or rather, a blank leash — ready for you to paint your adventures on.

Adoption details

Adoption special: Regular fee $300 — 50% off ($150) if adopted by end of October! Her adoption package includes a free Fi Mini GPS tracker with a 6-month subscription, a free 30-day MetLife Pet Insurance policy, a handcrafted Biothane collar, and a Nylabone. Fill out the online adoption application and schedule a meet and greet today!

Greenie

Boxer Mix

Available now

Puppy · Born July 29, 2026MediumIn foster care

Are you looking for a clever companion who isn't just fun-loving, but a true thinker? Meet Greenie! Born on July 29, 2026, this beautiful Boxer mix puppy (with Wisdom Panel DNA Breed Discovery results currently pending on her brother and sister!) is looking for a dedicated adventure partner to take on the world with. Greenie is incredibly smart and a total thinker. She is fun-loving, loves exploring, and is a quick learner who thrives when her mind is engaged.

Care notes

Up to date on all age-appropriate vaccines and flea/heartworm preventatives. She is microchipped and has been spayed, so she is fully vetted and ready to head home! She has already started her house and crate training, but she will need a dedicated adopter to continue building these habits alongside general house manners. Just like human toddlers, puppies take time, consistency, and a lot of dedication to grow into "solid citizens." Because Greenie is so sharp, she will thrive with an owner who loves teaching new tricks and setting good boundaries!

Adoption details

Adoption special: Regular fee $300 — 50% off ($150) if adopted by end of October! Her adoption includes a free Fi Mini GPS tracker with 6-month subscription, a free 30-day MetLife Pet Insurance policy, her very first Biothane collar handcrafted by Black Creek Collars, and her favorite donated Nylabone.

Included with every adoption

Your rescue dog comes home protected.

We partner with Fi and your rescue pet is currently protected by one of their GPS trackers. These GPS trackers are an invaluable tool during the first few months post-adoption when rescue dogs are still adjusting to their new home — if they ever slip out, you can open the Fi app and see exactly where they are in real time.

Free with every adoption

The great part about our Fi partnership is that our adopters get the tracker and the first 6 months of service for free, which would normally be $99 on their website.

Free with adoption · $99 value

Real-time GPS tracking

If your dog ever slips out during those first adjustment weeks, open the Fi app and see exactly where they are in real time.

2-minute setup

The setup process is simple and only takes 2 minutes. Set up your account right away so your new pet is protected from day one.

Flexible after 6 months

If you want to continue after the 6 months, it's $189 for 1 year, or you can switch to a different pricing plan or cancel anytime in the app.

Our recommendation

We highly recommend that you take advantage of this partnership and set up your account now to ensure your new pet stays safe these next 6 months.
