Comments: 7/14/10: Hello everyone! My name is Brae and I'm so glad to be out of Animal Control. I was there for 6 weeks! I've had a rough life, but I don't want to dwell on the negative. I've been given a second chance at life and I intend to take it and enjoy it! I was fine with other dogs at the shelter, but I haven't been too comfortable around any of the ones I've met since then. I think I just need time to adjust to life outside of the pen. I LOVE kids. LOVE LOVE LOVE them. I like to give kisses and play. I need a foster home right now, so if you have some space in your heart and your home, please contact your Adoption Committee member or apply to foster/adopt. Look at me! You won't be sorry!

Comments: 7/23/10: Brock has just come into his foster home; more to come as we get to know this boy.

Comments: Update 7/20/10: Mom says I am so sweet and a very gentle boy that loves everyone and everything. I now weigh 70 pounds and look great. The vet says I am perfect. FLBR and my foster mom care so much about me and all of the other boxers that come their way. I am a very laid back boy. I must admit, I do love my Phoebe. We play all the time, most of the time I let her be the bossy one...it's fun. We do take turns pinning each other down when we play. The other day my foster mom's Rylie and Phoebe had me pinned down when we were playing. I was surprised, because if you know Rylie...he hasn't walked in over a year and his back legs do not work. He has the doggie version of MS. So I let him help my Phoebe wrestle me to the ground. He's a cool old Boxer. Please consider giving Phoebe and me a Furever home together. [more]

Comments: 7/14/10: Cool Hand Duke is a beautiful well-mannered boy with a sweet, easy-going personality. He likes to sit, stay, shake, and is great with our 2 young children. He has also gotten along well with our 3 year old male boxer. The first day we got him, he went on a boat ride and had a bath in the river and loved it. He did get out our front door (my kids forgot to close it) and came right back when we called him. He seems very loving, and is great company and playmate to our other dog. I crate him at night, and he doesn't seem to mind it a bit.

Comments: Update 7/4/10: General is one of the most gentle and well behaved gentleman that I have ever seen. He does not bark or make any sort of noise, he does not jump up on people or try to get on the furniture, he does not chew on anything he is not supposed to. He takes food gently when it is handed to him; however, he is likened to a Hoover vacuum since he will eat any food that has been placed in his bowl and any other bowl on the ground left sitting there. He is also potty trained and has yet to have an accident inside the house even when he is left for a long period of time.

Due to his easy going nature, he has fit into my household of both female and male dogs without any issue at all. [more]

Comments: Update 7/14/10: Hercules is doing well in his foster home. When his skin family is home he is relaxed and loves to nap. Every afternoon he enjoys playing with his two female boxer friends in the fenced back yard. Without his humans close, Hercules often becomes anxious. He is not an in-your-lap boxer, but he does need to live in a home where a human is home most, if not all of the time.

Update 2/22/10: Hey everyone! Hercules here! Thought I'd update you on how I'm doing. It's been a rough past few months, but I'm finally settling into a routine, which I very much need. [more]

Comments: Update 4/30/10: Ingo was neutered and handled it like a champ! He is now feeling much better, and guess what? His foster Mom has discovered that Ingo CAN hear! Yay!! Ingo had a terrible ear infection when he was brought in, so that may have been a part of the problem with his hearing, but he hears just fine now. This is such great news for Ingo! On a different note, Ingo has now decided that the cat looks like a super cool toy to play with, and has taken great joy in chasing him all over the house. It is safe to say that Ingo should not be placed in a home with cats. Ingo has a clean bill of health and is looking for a loving, wonderful home that will work with him on his manners and help him to be the best Ingo he can be! [more]

*Older children only...Ingo is just too big and playful for small children.

Comments: Update 6/24/10: Jake is working in wonderfully with his new foster family. He is running rings around the three year old female and plays beautifully alone with toys as well. He makes himself right at home. Jake will require some vetting to clear up an ear infection and skin infection due to allergies.

6/21/10: My name is Jake and I am a happy, wiggly, playful boxer. I am 7 years old and currently live in a small apartment with my family after we lost our house. I am use to a large backyard to run and play in so this apartment thing is hard to deal with. I get along GREAT with other dogs and cats (mostly ignore the cats). I grew up with my human sister who is also 7…so I get along with kids of all ages. I love to run and play fetch. Tennis balls are my FAVORITE! I have allergies that are kept under control with Gluten free food and treats. I will miss my family dearly, but I am looking forward to being part of a new family that has the room and time to play with me.

Comments: 4/28/10: Joshua here. Thank you FBR for taking me in. I was living in an inappropriate setting. It's a sad story, but I don't want to dwell on it as I have a "New Leash on Life"!!!

I ride great in the car; I slept most of the way in a crate. Gave kisses to the FBR ladies who picked me up. What I do wish for is to be with another dog as I am non-hearing and need to take my cues from a hearing dog. Please will you consider me.

Thanks,
Joshua

Comments: Update 3/22/10: Hi everyone! It's been a while, so let's catch up: I still have good days and bad days with my arthritis, but that's ok because I still have lots of fun!! My foster mom takes me everywhere because I'm a well-behaved, calm girl. She and her girlfriends still love playing cards and having lunch... and I'm always there for both. I also hang out with the gray Persian cat when we're visiting; I guess he's OK if you're into all that fluff!! I am still looking for my forever home, so if you want an easy-going girl like me, send in your application soon.

Update 12/25/09: Hi! My name is Kansas...on a rainy day, two weeks ago, I came to my new foster home.[more]

Comments: Update 7/24/10: Kudos for Katrina! Not only did she graduate from K9 Korral Obedience Training Center's Family Dog Course, but she was invited to be featured on 106.5 CTQ Heidi's Hounds. http://www.1065ctq.com/pages/heidishounds.html

Update 7/20/10: Katrina has really blossomed and will be a wonderful companion for the family fortunate enough to adopt her! She is a "people" dog and loves everyone, especially children. Katrina is well mannered and completely trustworthy in the house. .[more]

* Males dogs only

Comments: Update 5/27/10: If you are looking for a Boxer boy to be your companion for running, rollerblading, playing in the back yard* – guess what? You’ve found me! I love all humans big and small, but for some reason, I just don’t care much for other dogs or cats. And, I do need someone to remind me about my manners, in case I forget. Even if I have to say so myself, I’m quite the handsome fellow and if you saw me on a leash you would think we were headed to Westminster! At the end of the day, I will curl up at your feet, give that big Boxer sigh, and all will be well in both our worlds. Please come and visit me – soon! [more]

* I must go to a home with a fenced yard.

Comments: 5/9/10: My name is Longoria, like the infielder of the Rays. I am a non-hearing dog who needs to be with another dog to learn from. I get along with small and large dogs as long as they aren't hyper. I am a very active boy - house broken and crate trained. I'm a sweet boy who just needs some direction. Leash manners 101 would be good for me. Sing Language 102 - as I have no clue how to sit, stay, down, etc. I would do better with older children in their teens. See, us non-hearing dogs get startled very easily and may scare a small child. I don't mean to do that, nor do my fellow non-hearing boxers!

I would love to come and play at your house if you let me. Come check me out

Comments: 6/1/10: Mathew is a sweet boy who seems to like everyone. He received a clean bill of health at the vet and now has to gain some much needed weight before he can be neutered.

More to come from his foster home.

Comments: 6/18/10: Hello my name is Mickey. If I had one wish in this whole world, I wish that I could find a forever home that would love me and give me the training I need to help me be the best boxer boy I can be. I am very smart and can learn whatever you want to teach me. I just need some patience and love. I can sometimes get a little nervous around children so I need to go to a home with older children. Please take me home. All I want is a family to love and care for me.

Mickey

Comments: Update 4/16/10: Hi everyone! Check out the latest picture of me, Miles! It's the picture on the top!

1/22/10: Hello everyone! It's been a while since I last updated you on how I'm doing in my new foster home. After a few trips to the vet and the support of FBR, I'm feeling great! I have what's called diabetes insipidus. It sounds scarier than it is, I promise. Basically, I don't produce enough of a hormone so I'm always thirsty, which makes me have to go potty a lot. So, the doctors gave my foster mom medicine to put in my eye, which helps me not be so thirsty or have to go potty as much. [more]

Comments: 7/12/10: Hi, I'm Murphy! I've been told I'm a beautiful mahoghany girl that is in great shape! My muscle-toned body is sleek and shiny and my tail is strong, so when I wag it... well, I need to be around older kids so I won't accidently hurt them. I can't help my excitement at being out of traffic. I have good manners in my temporary home. I just wish I had my own place to be loved in forever.

We are unsure of cats or dogs but do suggest older kids because of her tail. More info to come from foster home.

Comments: Update 6/16/10:

Sarge is now the star of his own video....check it out here.

Sarge is a really good boy who came back into rescue when his family fell on hard times. He enjoys hanging out at the house and going for walks or a ride in the car. Sarge is housetrained, very trustworthy and has full run of the house. Sarge is at that great age where he is very playful yet laid back. This handsome boy is wonderful with kids and a favorite game is to chase the light from a flashlight. Sarge is great on the leash, can speak and will even sing to you when he is happy. [more]

Comments: 6/21/10: Sasha is a gorgeous, wiggly-butt Boxer. You will not find a flashier girl anywhere! She loves people and was good with the other dogs she saw at the boarding facility she currently calls home. While the girls at Four Paws give her TONS of attention and the special princess treatment she deserves, she is really looking to become a part of a family with a house to call her own. Sasha will shower you with kisses! Please consider fostering or adopting this wondeful girl!

Comments: Update 7/28/10: Almost done with my heartworm treatment and then I can run and play like any normal boxer. I do need help with my leash walking manners. Maybe a class like 101-leash walking! I know I would learn real quick with someone who is willing to show me and have patience. There are just so many great things in this world to investigate... that's why I pull on my leash... to get there faster.

Have I told you I just love children, small dogs, not so sure about big dogs but I hate cats. I would like a home with a yard where I can run and play and burn off some of my puppy energy. So, if you like a girl who needs a little training, gives great kisses and cuddles close by the fire side - then dial 1-800-TIA. And to Florida Boxer Rescue - thank you for giving me a second chance at happiness; you don't know how much this means to me. [more]

Comments: 6/11/10: Tiger is a happy little man who loves everybody and everything. He has a bad eye that was extremely swollen and after examination, an air gun pellet was found. The eye will be removed in an expensive surgery and after a short recovery, he will be available for adoption.

Tiger: Wow! I am so happy to find people who like me and let me give them kisses as I have so many to give. When that sweet lady came in that jail cell to get me, she told me this was the first day of my new good life and I knew she was telling the truth. She took me on a ROADTRIP and I am now in a Boxer Hotel with some great foster buddies who took me in and showed me the ropes - like where to do my business and stuff, and I listened and did well. As much fun as it is here, I know after my surgery I will need my own home that will be mine forever... and even with just one eye, I'll be loved!

Boxer slurps to the following people for contributing towards Tiger's medical bills:

Comments: 5/27/10: Upton came to us via another rescue. He was tied to a picnic table in someones backyard and abanonded. He is very sweet and just wiggles his little nub when someone comes in to see him. He is being vetted at the moment and FBR is making sure he gets what he needs. He got along great with the small dogs in the other rescue. Upton loves everybody - especially men - but whoever pays attention to him becomes his new best friend.

Upton is my name and I like hanging with the guys in the dugout! My closest friends call me BJ but I am not used to either of those name yet. Can you guess who I am? I can't wait to be adopted and be in a forever home, but for now I do need a foster home to hang out in while I put on some weight.
