Spotty

Meet Spotty, a charming almost two-and-a-half-year-old Boxer from Lebanon, OR, whose goofy grin, white-and-tan coat, and heart of gold make him the total package! At 55 pounds of happy energy and cuddly sweetness, Spotty is a young pup with an old soul—and he's ready to bring his big heart into a new loving home.

Spotty is the kind of dog who draws smiles wherever he goes. He’s playful, gentle, and absolutely adores being part of the family. Whether he’s chasing a ball, soaking up the sun in the grass, or flopping onto the floor in front of a sunny window, he’s happiest when he’s close to his people. His favorite place in the world? Wherever you are!

Fully house-trained and crate trained, Spotty knows helpful commands like “sit,” “down,” “go lay down,” and “kennel.” He’s the type who will trot off to his crate with zero fuss—sometimes even without being asked. He’s also great with short periods alone, especially when he has his cozy spot to retreat to. As long as he gets his walks and meals, he settles right into his routine like a pro.

Spotty is very friendly with other dogs and has been living peacefully with cats for several months—no chasing, no drama, just calm coexistence. He’s excellent with children, especially older ones who won’t be overwhelmed by his size and occasional clumsy zoomies. He might look a bit intimidating to strangers, but he’s honestly one of the kindest, most gentle pups you’ll ever meet!

He's already neutered, microchipped, and grooming is easy with his low-maintenance coat, which sheds minimally. He gets regular baths and enjoys dental chews to keep that sweet Boxer smile sparkling. The only caution? Spotty is a free spirit when given the chance—he’ll take himself on a neighborhood tour if not in a fenced yard or on leash, so safe supervision is a must.

Are you ready for a goofy, affectionate companion who will bring sunshine into your life?

Reach out today to meet Spotty—he’s ready to be your loyal sidekick!
