Available Male Boxers
Dodger
Dodger
is 4 years old & thankful to be in rescue. We don't know how he came to be in a high kill shelter but he was
due to be euthanized the day his foster mom picked him up. Dodger apparently had lived outside for quite a while as
he had a rather thick undercoat that his foster family has been helping him shed out. He is very friendly & loves
to play with the kids & other boxers in his foster home. Dodger has shown himself to be a great companion.
He will follow his foster family around the house & outside, likes to go for walks & car rides. He has
plenty of boxer energy, yet he is satisfied to lounge around the house. He enjoys anything you do as long as he can
do it with you. Dodger walks nicely on leash. He is crate trained & is working on his potty training,
which he is picking up very quickly. Dodger will be best suited for a home with older children, 7 years & up, because
he gets excited when greeting & playing & will jump up. Dodger is microchipped, up to date on his vetting &
ready to join his forever family.

I am a young 18 month old deaf baby. I do have my natural
tail which is quite obvious in my pics. I am not quite crate trained yet, I will go in but will talk for awhile, not bark
but I am a talker. I am learning my hand commands from my foster mom, she is a good teacher, but I am just all about wanting
to play with the other kids right now. I am really enjoying my foster home and all the others I get to play with. I am very
good with other dogs, they just need to be playful. I am also housetrained.

This handsome boy is Apollo. Apollo is 2 yrs old & weighs 78 pounds. He was surrendered by
his owner to a shelter who was no longer able to keep him. Apollo will require a home with no cats, we
don't know about small dogs. He gets along best
with large breed female dogs presently. He does well with some neutered large breed males.
He enjoys kids but due to his large size he will be best suited for a home with children 8 yrs & older. Overall,
he is pretty calm, although he has plenty of typical Boxer energy when it comes to romping & playing.
He enjoys having his head rubbed & getting all the attention he can. Apollo walks well on lead. He was kept
as an outside dog so he is working on becoming house trained & crate trained. He continues to make
good progress with. Apollo takes his time with each new experience & requires some patience & reassurance.
He is also working on learning basic commands & will require an adoptive family who
is willing to continue with his obedience training.
He doesn't like to jump into a vehicle when it's time to go for a car ride but he rides well once he's helped
in. He is up to date on all his vetting, microchipped & deserving of a loving forever family.
Boss
Boss is a sweet man of 6 or 7 years old. It is apparent Boss had been living on his own for quite some time. He came into rescue severely emaciated, and after two weeks in rescue was hospitalized with pneumonia. Boss spent 5 days at the vet on IV fluids and antibiotics. He finally turned the corner and has continued to improve every day. He is beginning to put on some weight and feeling much better. He enjoys being in the company of his foster family and receiving all the attention he can get. He is eager to please and a joy to have around the house. Boss will fit in nicely to almost any home. He gets along great with all dogs, cats are unknown. He is continuing to work on his potty training, but is making good progress. Boss deserves to live his remaining years being spoiled and loved.

Joker
Joker
is a 1 1/2 y.o. baby Boxer boy that was put outside on a chain to starve & freeze this past winter until Animal
Control in his area rescued him along with 5 other dogs. Upon coming into rescue he weighed only 42 pounds.
He has now gained weight, is potty trained, crate trained, and understands what it means to be a part of a family.
He is loving attention & being an indoor dog. He enjoys interaction with the other foster dogs but sometimes doesn't
realize when they would like to rest & then gets into trouble. He will rest quietly or play with a chew toy
when crated. Joker has a lot to learn but seems to want to do what is asked of him, loves earning treat rewards
& responds quickly to verbal correction. He absolutely loves having a large fenced yard to run & play in since
he has spent most of his young life being on a short chain. Joker is gaining confidence & security in
his foster home. He always shows his foster family how happy he is to see them with a lot of boxer wiggling. Joker will
be a fun addition to almost any family.

I am known as Chase. I came from a local kill shelter and got out just in the nick of time. I came in with a stab wound on my back. I love my new foster home and I am getting along well with the other dogs. Here is what my foster mom says about me:
I arrived at my foster family on 5/23. I get along okay with my foster family's boxer
boys. They have this thing they call a 'kitty', I just can't figure it out. I sniff it as much as I can until
I'm told to leave it alone and I do. They tell me I'm a good boy all the time and that I walk good on the leash.
I am trying to be a good boy. I get a little excited with all of the new attention and I get the wiggles. I need a home
with lots of love and no small children. Are you my forever family?
More will be posted on Mr. Chase as we learn
all about him.

Gunner-Special Needs
Not available for Adoption
We could use your help with Gunner's medical expenses.
3-31-10: Gunner
will spend the remainder of his life with his foster mom. He will become a permanent member of the rescue.
5-1-09 Update: Gunner
has not had another relapse of Pancreatis for over a year now. He is doing very well with his prescription diet and
it controls the pancreatis very well. 
3-2-07 UPDATE: Gunner is waiting for a new home to call his own. He is filling out very nicely and
doing wonderful on his new diet. Please see updated pics.
1-30-07 UPDATE: Gunner
is ready for his new home. He has turned into one very playful boy. He loves his toys and wants nothing more than
for you to play with him. He is becoming one very good looking guy, he is filling out and his special diet certainly
agrees with him.
1-5-07
UPDATE: Gunner came home from the hospital 1-2-07 and is doing very well. He has gotten his playfullness back
and is loving every minute of laying on the couch. He will be a great addition to his new family.
12-28-06 UPDATE: Gunner was taken into the hospital today and after extensive testing
he was determined to have Pancreatitis. He is currently on IV's for the next few days and is being fed the same
way. He is doing well and should be able to come home 1-2-06. He will have to be on a special diet for the rest
of his life with no outside foods or treats being added to his diet. The vet cannot be totally sure it will not reoccur,
but it is very treatable and manageable.
We have Gunner listed as a senior male, we are unsure of
his exact age because of the condition he is in. Malnutrition can age a dog well beyond their years. We estimate he is between
5-8. He is a very loveable boy who came from the same shelter as Harmony. Everyone worked very hard to get Gunner into rescue
and transporting across the state. He is certainly enjoying food and a nice bed to lay his head. He has received his vaccines
and is heartworm negative but being treated for several different parasites. He must obtain a healthier level before he can
be neutered. We will post more as we learn, currently we are trying to get his hunger appeased.
Adoption
Donation: None to the right home that will be able to control his pancreatitis and diet.
Lynx
My name is Lynx and I am a very special boy of 1-2 years of age. You see, my owner came outside to feed me one day and discovered I was blind. It is most likely I was born blind and my owner just never payed enough attention to me to notice. Upon discovering I was blind, my owner took me to the vet to be euthanized. He told the vet he did not have the time to mess with a blind dog. The vet staff convinced my owner to relinquish his rights to me in hopes of getting me into rescue. If a rescue could not be found quickly, I was still going to be euthanized. My foster mom was the only person who inquired about me, and picked me up on the day I was to be euthanized. I am so thankful to be in rescue…I am truly getting a second chance.
Once in my foster home, my mom noticed something else was not right with me. While I was at the vet being neutered and getting all my vaccinations, it was determined I am partially deaf. Adjusting to my new life has been really hard for me and my new mom. I am slowly learning to trust her and she is learning that I get easily overwhelmed. I have made great progress in just a week’s time, but I still have a ways to go. I already know the “sit” and “down” commands. Once I am fully acclimated to my new life, I am going to be a great dog. My foster mom and I are working really hard, so we can show everybody what a great boy I am. I love to play with other dogs and I’m learning to play tug-o-war. I will need to be adopted into a home with another dog. I really need another dog to be my mentor and to show me the ropes. I am not quite ready for adoption yet so check back for updates on my progress.
