About Diesel Ix (Boxer) in Austin, TX 78761

Diesel Ix is waiting for you at Austin Boxer Rescue in Austin, TX 78761. Howdy! My name is Diesel IX! I am a gentle giant that is on the hunt for my forever home! I was very loved in my previous home and after changes in my owner's life, he made the tough decision to surrender me. I am 9 years old but don't let that shy you away because my foster mom says I have alot of spunk and act younger than my age once I get comfortable! Because of being with my previous owner all of my life and then in a new place with new people, I needed time to warm up and settle in. I am shy with new people, young and old but once I get comfortable, I'm a sweet and fun boy! I am house trained, great on leash, non-reactive, have become crate trained but will calmly whine voicing my displeasure with it, and at night I sleep on a dog bed in the humans room. I have become trustworthy and can be left to roam the home for short periods of time when the humans are away. I am a built in alarm system and will alert the humans when someone is at the door. I live with an 8 year old female boxer/pit mix and we get along fine and there is no resource guarding of food, toys, or treats seen. I live with 3 teenagers and I love going to them for attention. When outside I have good behavior and do not dig and I ignore the neighbor dogs behind us when they bark. I like to be with the humans outside because I know they will give me water from the hose which is one of my daily joys! I'm not crazy with baths initially but once I see I am getting a good scrub and towel dry, I'm all in! I do not like ear drops in my ears and will try to get away like my life depends on it, but I love riding in the car, playing with the vacuum when my foster mom vacuums, playing with a dryer wool ball, getting pets and love from humans, treats, greenie chews, laying on the couch or recliner, and daily walks! I have really settled into routine in my foster home and come out of my shell letting my personality and playful side show
