Jayden

2012PICS/Jayden1.jpg 2012PICS/Jayden.jpg

Jayden is approximately 8 months old. He was abandoned by his family and left to fend for himself in a basement. Jayden is safe now in rescue and looking for a forever family. He will need to work on his potty training and crate training, which is normal for a little guy his age. Jayden is deaf, so he will need a home which is willing to be patient with him and consistent with training. Please don't apply to adopt Jayden unless you have the time and lifestyle to accomodate a very young boxer.
Jayden is being fostered in Louisville KY.

Leonard: Pending

Leonard is approximately 3 years old, and what a handsome boy! When he came into rescue back in August, he was heartworm positive. He has since gone through the lengthy treatment for heartworm disease and is free of heartworms.  Leonard is housebroken and crate trained.  He does well with both male and female dogs, including small dogs. We do not know where he stands in regard to cats.  Leonard is good with kids and would do well in home with kids of any age. He knows his basic commands, but needs to work on his leash training. He gets excited on the leash and tends to pull a little.  Leonard loves to run and play with the other boxers in his foster home, but is also content to lounge around the house with his foster family. Leonard will fit nicely in to almost any home.
Leonard is being fostered in Louisville, KY.

2011PICS/5Rocky.jpg 2011PICS/6Rocky.jpg

Rocky is 1-2 years old. His favorite thing to do is play, and his second favorite thing to do is run. Rocky will definitely need to go to a very active family and is not suited for apartment living. He is good with kids, but could knock down a small child when he is playing and running. Rocky gets along great with other dogs, both male/female and large/small. He will do best in a home with another dog and a fenced yard where he can stretch his legs. Rocky is fully potty trained. He does not care to be crated, but will tolerate a crate for short periods. Rocky would do best in a home where one of the family members is a homemaker or works from home.
Rocky is being fostered in Florence, KY.

Blaze

Blaze is 2 years old. He is housebroken, crate trained, great with kids and even patient with little ones. He was an itchy boy before coming into his current foster home.  But his foster mom has quickly gotten his itching under control with good food and much needed medicated baths.  He is very smart boy and corrects quickly.  Blaze stays very calm in the house, and likes to follow his foster mom around the house.  He leads very well when there are no other animals around, but does pull when he sees other dogs or people. A head halter works nicely on Blaze to keep him from pulling.  He loves to wrestle around and play with the other male and female boxers in his foster home.  He will need to be in a home without small dogs or cats.
Blaze is being fostered in Florence, KY

Dozer
2011PICS/Dozer.JPG 2011PICS/Dozer1.jpg

This is Dozer! He is fantastic with kids and on leash. He is also great around other dogs. He loves to play with his toys, and will throw them up in the air and catch them. Dozer is being treated for demodectic mange, (not contagious to humans or other pets) and his hair seems to be growing back. He still has a ways to go, but he is looking better every day and has gained a ton of weight since first being picked up as a stray. He is such a joy to have around and has done great with housebreaking.

Dozer is being fostered in Louisville, KY

BBRPics/Chase0509_6.jpg BBRPics/chase4.jpg
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? 
Chase is being fostered in Louisville, KY.

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: Unavailable

BBRPics/Lynx3.JPG BBRPics/Lynx4.JPG

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.
