Howdy folks, I’m an easygoing good-natured big ol’ Boxer mix named Bongo. I’m young, about 1 year old and I weigh 54 lbs. Like many dogs in San Antonio Texas, I was pushed out of a car onto the side of a busy highway in 100-degree weather. I was completely terrified, confused, and thirsty, lying down in the emergency lane when a lady pulled up beside me, opened her door and I got up and jumped in. That nice lady is now my foster mom, so she is helping me get ready to find a forever home. I now have all my vaccines, neutered a few weeks ago, and in between I am having some fun, meeting new people, had my pictures taken, and I'm playing with all the other dogs who live here.
Turns out I’m a pussycat, sweet and gentle, almost motherly with a litter of puppies who live here. My foster mom says I’m a lover, not a fighter and I enjoy snuggling beside her when we relax on the couch watching TV. I make friends with everyone easily, dogs and humans and even a kitty cat who lives here. I know some commands like Sit, Stay, Lay Down, and I love doggy toys. I am very well-behaved, only bark to alert, and I taught myself how to use the doggy door by watching the other dogs. I’m fully housebroken and at night when the doggy door is closed I know how to use a potty pad if I need to go. I walk very nicely on a leash and I don't mind a ride in the car. I’m amazing and ever so grateful to be safe and sound and loved. My future looks bright and I am totally looking forward to meeting the lucky East Coast family who gets to adopt me and make me their forever dog!
* 4 Little Paws is based in CT. We adopt in many different states along the East Coast. Transport costs are included in the adoption fee. If you are located outside the states we typically adopt to, we have options to get the dog of your dreams to your location.

Please DO NOT apply unless the entire family / household is on board with adopting one of our dogs. We must receive an application for you to move forward in the process. Thoughtful direct emails are welcome and will be answered. However, an application is still a necessary step. We want to make sure we find our dogs a perfect fit with a family so both the dog and the family are happy. We keep our dogs with fosters once we get them out of shelters for a little bit to learn and understand their personalities. Our relationship with families doesn't stop at adoption! We are always available for any follow up questions and are happy to be a resource as you and your new pet settle into a routine.
