Comments: 8/31/10: Roxy Lee was friendly with the cats at the Vet. She also slept with a cat in a crate. She needs vetting now, and more info will come as her foster family gets to know her.

Comments: 8/23/10: My name is Cooper and my world was shattered today. I was found as a stray and this loving family took care of me until today. But they couldn't take care of me any longer. So please, can you give me a loving home like the one I was just in? I do need some training with leash walking, but I am housebroken. I love cats - can you believe that - I love cats. I get along with other dogs as long as we are properly introduced.

I'll be ready in two weeks providing I don't have heartworms.

* I've been around older children, but I might accidently knock a little one over. Don't mean to!

Comments: 8/30/10: Brewster is your typical boxer. He loves to run, run, run, and play, play and then play some more. His family gave him up because they are working long hours. Brewster is a sweet boy who needs some training and a huge yard to run in to burn off that energy.

Brewster knows sit, give paw, and kisses. He is housetrained
and crate trained. Unfortunately, Brewster has spent many hours in a crate. He is ready for a loving forever home...and more play!

Comments: 8/31/10: Payton is a beautiful, sweet boy who has heartworms, hook worms, round worms, an upper respiratory infection and is 10-15 pounds underweight. He will need to undergo treatment for all these issues and get neutered before he will be available for adoption. More to come as his foster home gets to know him!

Comments: 8/30/10: Tiger is a handsome, sweet boy who loves to play with other dogs, is wonderful with kids and has a super-sweet disposition. He walks well on a leash, and he listens and knows basic commands. More to follow from his foster home when they get to know him.

Comments: 8/30/10: Joey is a beautiful neutered male who will celebrate his first birthday on Sept 3rd. He is housebroken and walks well on a leash. Joey is crate trained and extremely friendly! He is very strong and needs an active family. He will do well with another dog if the dog is willing to play, play, play. Joey has the biggest smile I have ever seen!

Comments: 8/30/10: Lola had a rough beginning to her life - neglect, mistreatment and short on training until a good samaritan took her in and worked with her for a year. Now she is ready for a permanent home to call her own. She has not been socialized with other dogs so we are unsure of how she is. She has been living with 5 children who she adores.

Comments: 3/30/10: ChuCho was surrendered at Animal Control with his sister Roxy. They absolutely adore each other. Both are two of the friendliest dogs I have ever met. I have no doubt they would like other dogs, and though they have not been around kids, I would think they would be fine. Unfortunately, they both have heartworms and a severe case of mange.

Boxer slurps to Linda Vrooman for her generous donation towards ChuCho's medical expenses

Comments: 6/14/10: Butch is a sweet boy that kissed two pit bulls and an Akita while leaving the shelter. He was so happy to be FREE! We will have more information as the foster home gets to know him better.

Comments: 6/4/10: Hi, Casper here. I am an energetic boxer who could really use a companion. I enjoy the company of dogs of all sizes and need a home that already has one. I'm deaf and able to understand basic sign language; sit, paw, lie down, and speak. I struggle at times being alone, which may require that my new owner spends a lot of time with me at first. I know with your help and hard work, I can become completely obedient. What I really enjoy is going for a walk or run, or going to the dog park to play with other dogs. I play really well with kids, but might not be best for homes with real small children as I'm very energetic. I can't wait to meet my new owner. Please feel free to bring any other dogs when visiting me so I can get to know them too.

Comments: Update 7/5/10: Dixie Belle has been spayed and will be starting heartworm treatment.

4/13/10: Dixie Belle is a very sick little girl who was found with her collar embedded into her neck. She is heavy heartworm positive, is suffering from an infection from the wound on her neck, and only weights 32 pounds.

Dixie Belle will not be available for several months.

Boxer Slurps to Chuck Linker for his generous donation toward Dixie Belle's medical care.

Comments: 2/24/10: This sweet Boxer boy has won the hearts of everyone who has had the good fortune to meet him since he came into rescue. He is very calm by nature - one of those that whatever you want to do is fine with him. We have listed unknown with cats, but when he was taken into the cat room for his pedicure before leaving animal control, he did not seem to show any interest in them. Dempsey loves to go for car rides. He does have scarring on his back but the wounds are old and do not bother him in the least. Dempsey is heartworm positive. He does not have other dogs in his new foster home, but during his sleepover during his transfer, he was fantastic with the resident Boxer boy and girl.

Comments: Update 10/13/09: Foster Mom here. Buddy has been with us for a week now and has settled in very well. Buddy is such an affectionate and loving boxer and loves to give lots of kisses. He loves to be close to you and is happy following me around the house and will even wake from a nap to come find me. (We have nicknamed him shadow.)

Buddy is deaf, but he is also very smart and can understand some hand commands for sit, hug and get down. Being deaf, storms and fireworks are no problem and I can hoover while he naps without waking him. He is great with my 2 children, ages 7 and 6, and will come upstairs with me when I put them to bed so he can give goodnight kisses. [more]
