Nathan (GA) is a neutered male Boxer mix rescued in Georgia. Our veterinary partner estimates that Nathan is 2 years old at the time of intake in May 2022. Nathan is good with people and other dogs. This very sweet boy's adorable face masks the cruelty Nathan has suffered in his life; that is, until you see the gunshot wound on his lower jaw. Unbelievably, some monster shot this boy in the face at close range, fracturing his mandible. Fortunately, our veterinary partner indicates that Nathan's jaw is healing and will not require surgery. Nathan is safe now with us, and he will never know anything but a loving, safe, happy life from this point on. Nathan is friendly and great with other dogs.
He is very much a busy boy with typical Boxer energy. He sometimes expends that energy by chasing his tail. Nathan would do best in an active home with a fenced yard where he can run, play and exercise. He is treat motivated, which is good as Nathan needs some work on his manners.
If you can give Nathan a life that will quickly replace his scary memories with happy ones, please apply online to adopt Nathan (GA) at www.rescuedogsrocknyc.org.
RDR's adoption fees include the cost of spay/neuter/microchip at an RDR-approved facility, whether completed before adoption or if deferred because the pet is too young or has a medical issue. All pets are also current on age-appropriate vaccines at the time of adoption. Given technical constraints on this database, this pet's location may not be as listed here. We can, however, provide transport support for pets in foster at a considerable distance from the adopter.
