Dempsey was rescued as a pup who survived parvo. He also had a broken jaw but his rescuers took care of every need Dempsey had. He was very loved but the problem was he kept growing and growing and their living situation did not allow for him to have much room exercise. His best friend at home was a Chihuahua who of course never outgrew the space. Dempsey is all happy-boy loves everyone kind of guy. He loves to play and is full of energy he has not had the opportunity to expend. But he is by no means hyper or out of control. He is simply a big playful Boxer and will add endless joy and laughter to any family. His love of the little Chihuahua shows his gentle nature and ability to navigate around small things.
