I require a fenced in yard! NEWTON IS A NEUTERED ADULT MALE BOXER THAT CAME INTO THE SHELTER AS A STRAY. WE ARE ESTIMATING HIS AGE TO BE AROUND 2 YEARS OLD AND HE WEIGHS 74.4 LBS. SUCH A HANDSOME BOY. THE PICS DON’T DO HIM JUSTICE. IF I HAD TO GUESS, I WOULD HAVE TO SAY THIS GUY HAS HAD SOME LEASH TRAINING. HE WALKS VERY WELL ON JUST A SLIP LEASH WITH LITTLE TO NO TUGGING OR PULLING. PLEASANT TO WALK WITH, PARTICULAR FOR A DOG HIS SIZE. IN OUR EXERCISE YARD, I FOUND NEWTON TO HAVE A CALM DEMEANOR WITH LOW TO MEDIUM ENERGY. A LITTLE UNUSUAL FOR A DOG HIS AGE. HE KNOWS THE BASIC COMMANDS OF SIT, DOWN, STAY, AND WILL COME TO YOU WHEN CALLED. VERY TREAT MOTIVATED AND LIKES CATCHING THEM IN THE AIR. ? NEWTON LIKES TO ENTERTAIN HIMSELF BY ROLLING AROUND IN THE GRASS AND I WATCHED HIM PLAY A LONG TIME WITH A TENNIS BALL WITHOUT DESTROYING IT. ALL TO SAY, HE DOESN’T NEED YOUR CONSTANT ATTENTION. NEWTON HAS BEEN FINE WITH THE OTHER DOG AT THE SHELTER BUT IF YOU ALREADY HAVE A DOG IN YOUR HOME, THERE WILL BE A MEET & GREET AT THE SHELTER. IF NEWTON ISN’T A PUREBRED, HE’S THE CLOSEST THING TO IT. THE BREED IS KNOWN FOR THEIR PATIENCE AND PROTECTIVE NATURE HAVE EARNED THEM A REPUTATION AS A GREAT DOG WITH CHILDREN AND FAMILY GUARDIAN. IF YOU ARE READING THIS BIO ON PET FINDER, PLEASE CHECK THE VIDEO OF NEWTON IN THE EXERCISE YARD. A FENCED IN YARD IS GOING TO BE A REQUIREMENT IN ORDER TO ADOPT NEWTON. *The spay/neuter surgery is included in the adoption fee of $125. * We always prefer that our animals go to indoor homes. *OWNING a pet is a lifetime commitment! Please be ready to make that commitment before you adopt a pet! *BREED DISCLOSURE: Due to the fact that most of our adoptable pets are strays, we cannot guarantee their breed. We list the pets breed as the one that best matches the physical appearance, temperament, and personality of the animal-in some cases its purely a guess. The pet may also be listed as a mix when it’s actually a purebred. Please fill out an adoption application at www.cedar-rapids.org/animal. Once the application is approved, you will be able to meet with the dog you want to see.
