Austin Boxer Rescue
Arrival Story:
Viking is an incredibly sweet, 4-year-old, fawn male with beautiful brown eyes. He is currently underweight, heartworm positive, and has some fatty tumors and a rash on his underside. Viking’s foster family is working hard to fatten this sweet boy up & his tumors and rash will be checked out by a vet soon. He is housebroken, crate-trained, and walks well on a leash. Viking has interacted wonderfully with other dogs and children, but would probably do best in a home with older kids since he’s a bit timid and sensitive. He has not yet been tested with cats.
Viking is a gentle, low-energy dog who enjoys lounging around his foster home, curling up for a good nap, and playing with his foster brother (for short periods of time). This poor boy seems to have had a rough life prior to being rescued, but is quickly learning to enjoy his new environment. When he arrived at his current foster home, he stayed in his crate for several days. If scolded, he would hang his head low & retreat to his crate for a long time. However, Viking is now venturing out of his kennel & learning to explore his new surroundings. He has even found a new favorite place…the soft couch in his foster home. Viking has become quite the lovebug & adores receiving affection & attention from people. If you’re in need of a loving canine who will curl up near you at the end of a long day, ask to meet Viking!
