Anthony's story

　　Hi! I'm Anthony. While I am a little shy and reserved at first, it only takes me a few minutes to warm up to you, and then I'm all love! I am typically pretty low energy, but I do have occasional bursts of medium to high energy when I want to play, which sometimes comes at night if I've been low key all day! I am a 5-year-old boxer/lab mix and my adoption fee has been reduced to $175! I love going for walks, so I'm quick to go out the door as soon as it's opened, and I do very well on a leash. I walk slowly and stay by your side. If you take the

　　lead for a run, I'm just a jogger at most; it's more fun for me to go slowly and take in my surroundings. I don't counter surf, but I have been known to jump a baby gate when I'm left out when there's fun going on somewhere else in the house! Can you blame me? I just want to be near you. :) Similarly, I don't love going into a crate, but I'm such a good boy, once I'm in there I just lie quietly! I love other dogs but would be best suited for a home without cats, as all I want to do is chase them and play, but they typically don't like that. I haven't been around kids, but older is probably better because I can move swiftly when I'm playing and may knock over an unstable kid. I'm a lover and will cuddle up with you, but I also sometimes just love to lie by myself on my bed. I'd love to meet you!!
