POTATOHi! My name is Potato or "Tator" as my foster family calls me! I am an 81lb, handsome 9 year old chill, goofy, boxer boy that is part of the Silver Heart program! Be sure and ask about it because there are many perks for my adoptive family! Not much is known about my history except that I was brought to the rescue from a shelter, at the transition kennel for about 3 weeks, and now in my foster home! During my neuter it was found that I had a small mass on my tongue near the back of my throat but it does not bother my eating, drinking, or breathing. I have slight issues in my back legs at times but am taking joint supplements in the event that it is arthritis. I am crate trained (but I am trusted to free roam the house at all times), house trained, leash trained, and know basic commands! My teeth and gums aren't in the best shape but I don't let it bother me from enjoying a beggin strip, tortilla, or pup cup! I am good with the human teens in the home, get along well with the resident boxer/pitty girl, but am said to not be a fan of cats, so I need a cat free home! I have very short play periods which include pawing at/bouncing around with the resident dog or rolling around in the grass. I like to play with the dog toy stuffies and am good at not destroying them. I spend more time laying on the couch sleeping or watching out of the front office windows than I do playing. My absolute favorite thing to do is lay outside in the grass and sunshine! I will lay outside as long as the humans let me! I'm a bit picky with treats and food, but am learning they are all good for me! At night I sleep well on a dog bed in the humans bedroom or on the couch in the living room. My foster mom says I am a "joy to have in the home" and I think so too! If you are looking for a low energy boy that would be fine as an only dog or with a low key dog companion and would enjoy accompanying you for a nap or outside to tend to a garden, look no further! Contact the rescue today and let them know you are wanting to meet Silver Heart Potato because I am waiting to meet you!To adopt fill out an adoption application - austinboxerrescue.com/rehoming/adoption/adoption-application/ ...

KATE II Kate is a return looking for a new home.Hi! My name is Kate! I am a beautiful 7 year old flashy fawn girl that is an adopted return due to my owner moving out of the country and I am unable to fly with them. I did have an eye removed 2 years ago but I consider it my permanent wink! I am described as smart, protective, playful, affectionate, and obedient! I do not get along with overly excited dogs so a meet and greet and proper introduction with any dog or cat is needed. I live with two kids (ages 10-13 years) and have had a lot of exposure with other kids and am great with them! I am timid and will bark at new people I do not know until I can investigate further and then I am fine. I am house trained, crate trained, and at night I sleep anywhere I want (bed, floor, couch, crate, etc). When the human’s must be away, I am fine and am not destructive. I have been dog sat by multiple people as well and was never a problem at their homes. I am fearful of loud sounds or fast movements around people I do not know. When outside I have good behavior and do not dig or attempt to jump fences/gates. Some of my favorite things are riding in the car, balls that the humans can kick, any stick, playing fetch, hiking, playing, and although I like cuddling, I do not like people grabbing my paws. My current owner says I am “an amazing dog” that is “super smart and loyal”. If you think I would make a great addition to your family, contact the rescue today and give them my name because I am waiting to meet you!To give Kate her second and final chance please fill out an adoption application here - austinboxerrescue.com/rehoming/adoption/adoption-application/ ...
