COLUMBIA, S.C. — According to the American Kennel Club's description, the traits of a boxer dog are "loyalty, affection, intelligence, work ethic, and good looks: Boxers are the whole doggy package. Bright and alert, sometimes silly, but always courageous, the Boxer has been among America’s most popular dog breeds for a very long time."
If you've ever wanted to adopt a boxer, Saturday may offer a chance to meet and mingle with boxers and boxer owners at the first annual Soda City Boxer Bash. Carolina Boxer Rescue is partnering with Hunter-Gatherer Brewery & Alehouse and Amanda DuPre for an afternoon of socializing and fundraising for the rescue organization.
