Meet Mortimer (aka Morty)

Morty is a 5 year old male Boxer currently in San Diego, and honestly, he’s pretty perfect. The only reason he needs a new home is that his family is moving to Uruguay and, unfortunately, can’t take him along. He’s neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. At 88 pounds, he’s a big boy, not overweight, just big-boned with a personality to match.

Morty is the total package. He’s had formal training, is housebroken (though he prefers the more refined term “bio break” over “potty”), crate trained, knows basic commands, and walks well on a leash using a pinch collar. He’s great with adults, though he warms up faster to women, nothing a few treats can’t fix. He hasn’t been around kids much, but he’s been gentle when he has, though he usually loses interest unless his beloved ball is involved.  He’s a social guy with other dogs, having lived with pups of all sizes. He attends daycare weekly, thrives at his off-leash dog beach, and loves making new canine friends. Dog parks however are a no-go, he was attacked as a pup and still remembers that trauma. He has also lived with cats, though he mostly chooses to pretend they don’t exist.

Morty doesn’t need to share your bed, he prefers his own cozy spot in the same room (bonus points if you have a heated blanket for him). He’ll alert you to the terrifying presence of UPS and FedEx drivers but his barking can be managed by command.  Now, let’s talk about his one quirk, his sensitive tummy. He requires a special diet, and, well… let’s just say his poops are enthusiastic. Expect four soft-serve-style piles per walk to clean up (sorry in advance). But hey, he makes up for it with love, loyalty, and his two favorite toys, a squeaker and his emotional support ball, both of which he’ll bring along to his new home, along with his bed and crate.

Morty has been deeply loved his whole life, and he deserves a home that will continue giving him the same devotion. Let’s find a home for this amazing, goofy, ball-obsessed best friend.  We need a committed family to love him forever!
