My story

BOCEPHUS IS AVAILABLE BY APPOINTMENT ONLY. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO MEET THEM, PLEASE EMAIL ADOPTIONS@FULTONANIMALSERVICES.COMMeet Bocephus (`Bo`) the Boxer. He`s a low energy, crate-trained dog that loves to have his neck scratched, and bask in the sun. Pros: — Loves people (Good with kids) — Potty trained — Crate trained (he sleeps there every night by choice) — He knows `Sit` and `Lay down` — Trained to use tappable buttons to communicate with you (he uses buttons for `Food` `Water` `Outside` and `Scratch` (aka `pet me` but is fine if you put them away as needed.) — Stays off furniture if you want (only occasional reminders needed) — Lower energy - only the occasional zoomies or extra energy when he first meets you or you first get home. — Loves to just sit on the porch with you or lay in the sun — Doesn`t pull the leash while walking — No issues with touching his paws/face/teeth etc (easy to bathe) — He follows your lead on morning wake-up. He waits to be called down for his morning potty break unless it`s urgent, and sleeps in more on the weekends with us. — No separation anxiety. Easily goes to his crate or stays corralled in the kitchen when we go out as long as he has a bed and a treat. — Infrequent barking (the training buttons and better diet helped a ton!! Now he only barks for urgent potty breaks) — Cute forehead wrinkles and sleepy old man eyes Why we think he`s a foster baby: — No wheat diet (we thought we had a dog with chronic IBS - Nope! Just needed the right food. It`s honestly easy. No specialty stores required. We get his favorite eats and treats at Target) — He prefers to chill with his people and bask on the back porch!

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Bocephus, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
