Buster
Buster is an approximately 2 year
old male. He's been with us for a few weeks, but he's been undergoing
Heartworm Treatment, so we are just now adding him to the web page.
Buster won't be available for a few more weeks, but we thought we'd give
everyone an opportunity to "meet" him.
Buster is a sweet boy, very loving
and eager to please, but he does have some trust / fear issues. Doors
and doorways are a source of fear for him and he can be shy with men
when he first meets them. After he gets to know them, he's a big mush
and is very loving. He gets along well with the other female Boxer in
his foster home and has had limited exposure to young children, but he
has done well with them and was not a bit afraid of the noise and
commotion created by crazy toddlers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Emma
Emma is an approximately 4 year old girl who was
picked up stray and in very poor physical condition. After nearly three
weeks in foster care, she is finally looking normal and has gained a
significant amount of weight.
Emma is a pistol, with lots of energy and
personality. She is currently in a foster home with a younger male Boxer
and two cats. She does well with them all. Emma has not been exposed to
toddlers or small children, so we are recommending a home without small
children, just because we do not know how she will be. A physically
fenced yard is required to adopt Emma.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Macey
Macey came to our local shelter as an Owner
Surrender. She is approximately 1 year old and she is DEAF. Macey is
brand new to our program, so we are still learning about her. So far,
she seems to be very typical of a young deaf dog. She is active, has a
short attention span, wants to give lots of kisses and likes to jump!!
These are all typical Boxer behaviors, but with deaf dogs, they add an
extra level of training and patience required for their potential
adopter. Macey does seem to be very sweet and so far is getting along
well with the dogs in her foster home. A physically fenced yard as well
as continued training will be a requirement for adopting Macey.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sassy
Sassy Marie is returning to rescue
through no fault of her own. This makes us so sad. Sassy is a GREAT girl
with a spark and gusto for life and she deserves a loving, stable home
of her very own. Sassy has been living with children, the youngest being
four and a cat and done awesome with everyone. Please consider giving
Sassy the forever home she deserves.
Sassy Marie originally came to us
from a shelter in Eastern Iowa. We are guessing her to be around 6 years
old. This little gal has obviously seen some hard times and had been on
her own for awhile. Don't let that little bit of "snow" on her muzzle
fool you. This is one spunky chic with a lot of personality!! She had a
horrendous open wound on her back when first picked up, along with some
pressure sores, lumps and bumps.
When Sassy was picked up by the
shelter, there were actually maggots infested in this wound!! Someone
must have spent some time with her and loved her. She knows sit and
shake and with a little encouragement, will do a down. Sassy charmed the
workers at the shelter and bought herself some extra time. That's how we
learned about her. Sassy is a sweet, sweet dog with lots of love and
life left in her!!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sidney
Sidney is approximately 5 years
old. She was found stray. Sidney is a lovely girl who adores people. I
think she would choose people over the company of another dog in a
heartbeat. Sidney has a lot of personality with one flaw. She HATES cats
and small fluffy "things"!!! Sidney gets along fine with other large
breed male dogs, but for some reason those small critters get her dander
up. Sidney's dream home would be one where she is the only dog and the
center of attention.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tommy
Tommy is a young boy,
approximately 18 months old. He's brand new to our rescue program, but
so far he seems to be pretty typical in his energy and activity level.
He can be very vocal when meeting new people. Tommy has had limited
exposure to children and we don't know if he's ever been around cats.
Tommy is good at entertaining himself and if you give him a ball, any
ball, he's good to go for hours. Tommy will jump a regular cyclone
fence, so a 6 ft fence will be required to adopt him, along with group
obedience classes.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
All rescue boxers are dogs in need, however there are unique cases where
a Boxer may need a special home and/or care. They are Boxer through and
through and deserve a chance at a great life and the love of a great companion.
Could you be that home?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 STILL
WANTING TO SEE MORE?
There are lots of Great
Boxers looking for homes. If you are interested in seeing more Boxers
in need of good homes, would like to complete an online application to
adopt a Boxer, would like to help out by sponsoring a boxer or making
a donation to Boxer Rescue, check out the MidWest
Boxer Rescue association website. This site shows the group effort
taken by Boxer rescue organizations throughout Iowa, Kansas, Missouri
and Nebraska who work together to rescue and place dogs in loving, permanent
homes. All these groups operate as not-for-profit entities, and each has
particular requirements for prospective homes. The purpose of this coalition,
known as the MidWest Boxer Rescue Association, is to help people in the
Midwest U.S. find a Boxer to adopt and to coordinate the rescue and care
of dogs in need.
