This senior boxer lady is so sweet and playful and curious. She may no longer operate the max speed always, but she's still got plenty of gas in the tank. Slower, steadier, sweeter- sounds like a better deal to me. She walked well on leash and was more than happy to meet a new friend. Mostly unimpressed by the noisy other dogs, she really just wanted to enjoy her time, literally stopping to smell the flowers, playing with toys, tolerating me putting toys on her head(unimpressed by that one) and getting lots of love and scratches. Lots of folks hesitate about adopting older pets- worried about the timeline-which I get. But you have to think of the quality vs the quantity. Older dogs get It- they know how to connect, appreciate and enjoy every moment. They require less training and demand less of your energy to keep them entertained. They're also a lot less likely to eat your shoes. Mississippi is gorgeous, sweet, confident, smart and basically a great catch. If you're interested in a friend like that, head into #burbankanimalshelterand meet her for yourself.Mississippi is currently in a foster home. To meet her please contact the foster coordinator at vbasfosterinfo@gmail.com
