Kyle

Please meet Kyle! He is estimated to be between 6 to 8 years old, neutered, current on his vaccines, house broken, and is being fostered in Poulsbo, WA.<br/><br/>Kyle is a darling, Boxer-mix who has been through the wringer. Poor Kyle got dumped at a shelter and doesn't understand why. We don’t have a clue either, as his foster mom tells us he is sweet, endearing, and has a ton of love to give. He came in pretty shut down emotionally, and it took about a week for his posture to relax from the scared, sad dude he arrived as. With a solid routine every day to follow, Kyle has blossomed, and his abandonment anxiety has lessened considerably. He isn't afraid to meet your eyes anymore and he has learned there is plenty of love to go around so he can relax around his foster fur-brothers and fur-sister.<br/><br/>Kyle is still a follow you everywhere, Velcro sort of guy. He goes where you go. He wants to see you, touch you, and lie at your feet. At first, he was very crabby about the other dogs coming up to his foster mom for pets, but this was behavior born of fear that his NEW GOOD THING would be taken from him. He puppy piles with his foster crew now and that "resource guarding" behavior is a thing of the past...with his pack. We expect though that his forever family will have to be patient with him as he learns *again* that there is enough love for all.<br/><br/>Kyle has learned the house routines well and seamlessly gets up, eats, and takes himself outside with the rest of the pack. He helps his foster mom take care of ducks, geese, and a horse with no problems or prey drive issues because ALL KYLE CARES ABOUT IS YOU. The shock of being left will likely be with him for a long time and his default is to glue himself to your side. This will make Kyle a fabulous addition to a home where someone is always there or where his person would get to take him to work. Kyle has good manners and would excel at making sure your feet are toasty under the desk in your cubicle or help you supervise your shop! If you have to leave every day, keep scrolling, 'cause Kyle will be stressed out badly by being left alone. His person(s) is his security blanket.<br/><br/>Kyle picked up a toy recently for the first time. He really has been in survival mode and seeing him blossom is the heartwarming reason we all do rescue. He's wiggly now. He isn't worried now, and more and more glimmers of his personality emerge every day that he gets to feeling safe and loved. He is a great dog now, we can only imagine who he'll be in a year with his people loving him and erasing his past trauma with every pet on his sweet head. Are you his people? If so, then please apply for him soon – you can find our application here: www.mustluvboxersrescue.com/adopt.
