Claire
Claire, who
is barely a year old, came to us from a family in Eastern Iowa. We were
orginally told she was blind and could only see shadows, after being
around her a very short time I quickly realized she is not blind after
all!
Claire has a
very severe case of Nystagmus from a lack of oxygen at birth. This
causes her eyes to sway back
and forth constantly - she can see, but her vision is impaired to some
degree because of the constant eye movement. The vet does not believe it
will get any worse, and she'd obviously learned to cope.
She runs,
jumps and plays with her foster siblings and knows exactly were
everybody is at all times. Claire's a very happy girl and loves to meet
new people, she does jump up a bit when excited, but hey what Boxer
doesn't?!?! She's very curious about cats, but is easily redirected.
Claire will
need to attend some obedience classes in her new home and have somebody
who can guide her with a lot of structure and consistency. A phyiscally
fenced yard will be required to adopt Claire.

Dakota
UPDATE 7/2010
Dakota is a true romantic at heart.
She is looking for someone to love. She would like nothing more than to
stare lovingly into your eyes, take long walks, lean against you, go
where you go, and be a part of your life. She would be an excellent
companion dog. She is a little shy especially around men due to her
past. However, she wants so much to come see you that it’s not long and
she is ready to petted and your friend whether you are male or female.
She loves children of all ages.
Dakota was
previously placed through MVBR but was returned through no fault of her
own. Her family was moving and was unable to take her or her brother
Tyson with them. Dakota is an approximately 5 y.o. female Boxer who has
seen some hard times. She came from a small town shelter and was afraid
of everyone and everything. Once Dakota settles in, she's almost normal,
but still gets a little skittish around new people, especially men.
Dakota does well with other dogs and is quick to bond with women. Once
you earn her trust, you will have a friend for life!! In order to adopt
Dakota you will need a physically fenced yard and be willing to complete
a fun type, group obedience class. Dakota is undergoing some evaluations
on her nails so she is currently not available for adoption but please
looks for updates
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fritz
Fritz is an
energetic young male, approximately 1 year old. He came to us very thin,
but is slowly putting on much needed weight. Fritz will need a home with
a fenced yard and a family committed to lots of exercise and training.
He is eager to please, but equally stubborn and occasionally ornery. He
will need an experienced Boxer owner to guide him along life's highway
and keep him on the straight and narrow!!!
Along with a
physically fenced yard adopters must commit to a group obedience class.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rajah
Rajah is an
approximately 3-4 year old brindle female and was returned to rescue due
to "lifestyle changes" within her family. She is a very sweet and
energetic boxer girl that would love to find her real forever home. She
gets along great with other dogs and children but does NOT do well with
cats. Rajah will require a basic obedience class once adopted. Her
picture will be posted soon.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tyson
Tyson was
previously adopted through our program and through no fault of his own
was returned with his "sister" Dakota since the family was moving and
they were not able to take the dogs with. Tyson is 3 years old. He is a
good boy and gets along well with other dogs and cats. He's a big,
active boy and he wants to go, go, go!!! Tyson loves kids but there
won't be any guarantees that he wouldn't accidentally knock the little
ones down. A fun, group obedience class as well as physically fenced
yard, possibly even 6 ft privacy will be required to adopt Tyson. He
has scaled some cyclone fencing at the vet's. Tyson is a sweet, loving
and typical goofy male Let's get him into a home that understand and
loves that crazy Boxer spirit!! Tyson is undergoing some evaluations on
his nails so he is currently not available for adoption but please looks
for updates.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
