Vanilla's Story

Meet VANILLA — Your Sweet & Spunky Boxer Babe! <br/><br/>Looking for a loyal companion with just the right blend of sass and sweetness? Meet Vanilla — a 45lb bundle of joy and wiggles! Born on November 21, 2022, this 1.5-year-old spayed female Boxer mix is ready to find her forever adventure crew.<br/><br/>Vanilla is house trained and crate trained, and she’ll happily snooze in her crate at night (just no bedding, please — this girl has a taste for fluff and likes to snack on her blankets when unsupervised!). She’s food motivated (but not food aggressive), making her a dream to train — and she’s already hard at work learning her basics like sit, stay, come, heel, off, and how to take treats nicely.<br/><br/>She loves to play in the yard and splash in the kiddie pool (solo or with a male buddy), and she’ll keep you entertained with zoomies and silly antics. But like many clever pups, if she gets bored… she may dig a little. A fenced yard is a must for this active girl — apartment living just isn’t her jam.<br/><br/>Vanilla is dog-friendly with male dogs, but she’s not a fan of other females — she’s definitely the kind of gal who likes to be the Queen Bee. And no cats, please — she thinks they’re for chasing, not befriending.<br/><br/>She rides well in the car, enjoys long walks, and would make a fun hiking partner (just not in the summer heat). While she’s not off-leash trained, she’s got a great start with her commands and would thrive with continued guidance and consistency.<br/><br/>- Crate & potty trained<br/>- Dog-friendly with males (no females or cats)<br/>- Microchipped, spayed, up-to-date on vaccines<br/>- Heartworm negative & on monthly preventatives<br/>- Fun-loving, affectionate, and a total goofball<br/><br/>Vanilla’s got that classic Boxer charm — expressive eyes, the cutest little underbite, and a personality that’s equal parts athletic and affectionate. She adores ear rubs and butt scratches, and just wants to be a part of your daily life and adventures.<br/><br/>Her perfect home? A family, couple, or active single person (with older kids) who’ll give her the structure, exercise, and love she craves — and maybe a goofy male dog to chase around the yard!<br/><br/>Ready to bring a little Vanilla into your life? ?<br/>She’s waiting to melt your heart!<br/><br/>Vanilla is currently being fostered in Texas but available to transport to approved adopter in the Midwest, Northeast and Canada. <br/><br/>Adoption fee includes vaccinations, Spay/Neuter, microchip, deworming, heartworm test, transport and vet/documentation requirements in preparation for transport. <br/><br/>You can find our form "AJC Rescue & Transport Adoption Application" at: <br/>https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/AJCR/Dog
