Meet Bosco

Bosco just started a new training journey on July 12, 2026, and will be ready in August for a dedicated owner excited to maintain his extra off leash skills. My name is Bosco! I weigh around 72 pounds, which is a big improvement over the measly 44 pounds I weighed when I came into the rescue. I am about 7 years old, fully house broken, crate trained, neutered, current on my shots, great with kids, have lived with cats in my past life, and I’m being fostered in Spokane, WA, where I have many dog friends. In addition to being handsome, silly, affectionate, and sensitive, I enjoy treats, couch cuddles, playing ball in the yard and going for car rides. I love people – any and all people! Adults, teenagers, toddlers, I am happy to be around any of them. No matter what my people are doing, I like to follow them around or check in on them. I’ll even help clean up the crumbs from dinner and then snuggle on the couch with soft blankies. Once I’m super comfortable though, I may wander off to another room and just chill by myself and take a little nap, or maybe play with a toy for a few minutes. My ideal owner would be one who has experience with the Boxer breed and also one who can maintain the structure I prefer. I can be a little bit stubborn at times and anxious, but in training I learned several super handy commands such as “heel” to walk politely by your side, “place” - my go settle down command - and “out” in case you want me to drop/leave or ignore something. I’m a pretty smart guy and when you add all of these professional skills to my other commands such as sit, down and shake, I’m a real catch. In my forever home I will need consistency to prevent my old insecurities from coming up, but my foster mom is a great trainer and will show you exactly how to follow through. I have lived with many dogs, and going to a home with a dog buddy is not out of the question, but I do need slow introductions and social advocacy with dogs in order to feel safe. A housemate dog for me should be a female dog, or a submissive male. I’m such a good boy at bedtime and can sleep on my cushy dog bed on the floor at the foot of the bed, or in my kennel. I am a really good pup who has a lot of love to give, and I promise to make your face and your heart smile every day. Apply today – www.mustluvboxersrescue.com/adopt.
