Dallas

I adopted Dallas right after Thanksgiving last year. I already owned a 2 year old male boxer named Kona and wanted a playmate for him. The moment I met 7 month old Dallas, I had to have him. He was such a friendly happy puppy even while at the Rescue. Kona and Dallas were ready to play the moment they met at APR.

I made it clear to the volunteers that my dog was my child and I'm neurotic about him and adopting Dallas, I wouldn't be any different. I think our volunteer could sense Dallas was going to be in good hands when I told her I take Kona for daily runs to get his energy out and my weekends usually consist of taking him on trips hiking and to play with other dogs.

Dallas came home with us that day and I can not begin to explain what a blessing he is. Between almost daily walks at the park, hiking on the weekends and non-stop playtime with Kona, Dallas is greatly enjoying being with us. I couldn't have adopted a better dog. He gets along with Kona perfectly and loves everybody he meets.

His mange has healed nicely and he is at a healthy weight. It breaks my heart that anyone could just give up a sweet companion like Dallas. However, he obviously was meant to be with us! I love my 2 boxer boys!

In the pics, Kona (my original boxer) is the bigger darker boxer and Dallas is the smaller one with more white on the right. As you can see, they get along great and LOVE to snuggle together. THANKS APR for bringing such an amazing joy into our lives!
