Coaster the Boxer Pup Is Our Pet of the Week

Meet Coaster, our B101.7 Pet of the Week with the Humane Society of West Alabama!  He's an 11-month-old male Boxer mix with a smooth brown coat, featuring some white on his chest and a black muzzle.

Coaster weighs 44 pounds now and should get a little bigger, probably around 50 to 60 pounds.

Poor Coaster was pulled from our local animal shelter where he had been found and turned in as a stray. He must be a strong, hardy dog, because he'd been at the shelter for 2 ½ months!!

Yes, Coaster was ready to get out and is loving having room to run and play with other dogs!  Coaster has a lot of energy, but he is very sweet and loving. He is just a big puppy! And like any other puppy, he needs training and structure to help him develop into a well-mannered adult dog.

Coaster loves to play and is very social. He is used to being around people but not used to a lot of the world since he has been in a shelter for so long. He should be fine with children over age 12, only because he may bump down smaller ones with his big body.

He loves to play with other dogs and would make a great companion dog. He has too much energy for an apartment and will require a fenced in yard. We have started on his crate training.

Coaster is up to date on his vet care, neutered, heartworm negative and is microchipped. He is on heartworm and flea/tick prevention.

What a fun dog! If you need a work out buddy, Coaster is your man! If you are interested in giving Coaster the forever home he wants and deserves, visit the Humane Society of West Alabama at

Watch Coaster in action, playing in the yard at the shelter!!
