I honestly don't know how to thank all of you for
what you've given me. She has made my life so much better just by being in it. She makes me happy every day, and I consider
myself lucky to have her. With the stress of preparing for graduation and everything else, she has been a bright light that
can always cheer me up. She has such a sweet disposition, and everyone that meets her soon falls in love.
However, now that she's growing, she's a cover-hog in the bed. I have a queen bed and the other night I woke
up on the very edge of it, freezing. She had the entire other half and all of the covers. Not fair. But this is a minor character
flaw that I'm willing to overlook in this relationship. (Just kidding!) She'll learn manners over time. Hahaha
The one of her and the big white dog is my parents American Bulldog, Wren. The reason that particular picture is special is because Wren had seizures as a puppy and as a result of that, wasn't socialized as most dogs are. We thought that she wouldn't like Lola, but they're best friends and fit great together.
Oreo: Adopted
Oreo is
a cute little 1 year old girl. Just like any young boxer, she is very playful with other dogs and will need lots of exercise.

Jenni: Adopted
Jenni is 1 of 29 boxers seized from her owner for living in puppy mill conditions. We didn’t know it at the time, but Jenni was pregnant. She delivered 7 healthy puppies and was a great mother. All her puppies are weaned and Jenni is looking for her forever family. Jenni has come so far from the terrified, unsocialized dog she was when she came into rescue. When frightened, Jenni always looks around for the people who keep her safe. She has overcome her fear of other dogs, and doesn’t mind kitties either. She is also wonderful with adults and kids. Jenni goes outside to potty, but hasn't learned how to ask to go out….so there are occasional accidents. She is doing better in her crate at night. She is on her way to becoming a very good pet. To watch her jump, run, and play in the backyard is so much fun. It took weeks for us to see any expression but scared or exhausted from Jenni. To see her having fun like a puppy makes her transformation so rewarding!
Jenni is being fostered in Florence, KY.

Mighty is 15 weeks
old, he was born on August 16, 2011. Mighty is already neutered and up to date on all his vaccinations. He is beginning
to learn the signs for his basic commands. He seems really smart and has already learned sit. Owning a deaf dog is no different
than owning a hearing dog, you just communicate in a different way. Mighty is a delight to have around, and gets along
great with the other dogs in his foster home…both large and small. He is good with children of any age. Being a puppy,
Marty is still working on his crate and potty training. Only applicants with a fenced yard will be considered for Mighty….no
invisible fence please. Potential adopters will be required to attend training classes with Mighty after adoption.
Puppies are a big time commitment; please consider your lifestyle demands before applying to adopt Mighty.

Diezel: Adopted
My name is Diezel. I am 2 1/2 years old, weight 65 lbs. I have no known health issues. I was born on Dec. 16, 2008. My first human home decided to have a baby; the mother said I had to go. I am a very loving dog, but very bashful around new people. I need a new family with a large yard. I will lie at your feet or stand by you when strangers are around. I also have a loud bark, but only bark when needed. I love to sleep with you in a warm bed. I’m house trained and will also stay in my crate when needed.
Diezel is being fostered in Owensboro, KY
Zoey: Adopted
Zoey is only 19 months old. She currently weighs around 45 lbs & is a petite girl. However, her foster mom is working on getting her weight where it needs to be. Zoey is a little skittish & nervous. Everything still seems new to her, from different sounds to riding in a car & having a family to love her. She takes a little time to warm up to new people, but once she feels safe she is very sweet, affectionate & enjoys love & attention. We are not sure what has caused her to have some sores on her back. The shelter vet suggested that it was caused by having too strong a dose of topical flea prevention that has irritated her skin & caused her hair to fall out. However, we may update this when she is seen by our veterinarian. Zoey knows how to sit for a treat but could use some work with leash walking. Zoey seems to do very well in her foster home who has cats, small dogs, another boxer & children. She loves running as fast as she can in her foster mom’s large fenced yard. We are still learning where Zoey stands with her house training & crate training.

find Ava; curled up in the chair or on the bed...she loves to sun bathe. She enjoys playing with her foster parents or the
other dogs. She is also content chewing on a bone or sitting with her foster dad on the couch watching football. She is
very affectionate and loves to be cuddled up next to her foster mom when it’s time for bed. Ava will need to be
in a home WITHOUT small dogs or cats. She would do best in a home as an only pet or with a dog her size or larger.

Rambo: Adopted
Rambo is 4 years old. He has lived with an untreated injury to his left front leg for some time. It was most likely broken but never casted. Being left to heal on its own must have been extremely painful for Rambo. However, this boy is so happy to be in his foster home. He loves children & toys. Rambo does well with both the female & male boxers in his foster home & has done well with small dogs in the park. He has the typical high energy level of a boxer, likes to stay busy & likes to be with people. Rambo is housetrained & crate trained although he doesn't require being crated. He doesn't chew on anything besides his dog toys. He will sit on command & is learning other basic commands & house manners. Rambo pulls quite a bit on leash & will probably do best working on this with a harness or head halter. This boy is full of personality & fun. All he needs is a forever family to love & entertain!

Mikey: Adopted
Mikey is 3 years old & is pretty quiet & laid back for a younger Boxer. Mikey was surrendered to a kill
shelter by owners that stated they didn't have the money to take him to the vet. Rescue was his only hope of getting
out of the shelter alive since he was in pretty bad shape. Mikey came into rescue in mid August with significant hair
loss, due to demodectic mange. He is still undergoing treatment, but is doing very well. He was also covered in fleas
& ticks that had been feeding off him for quite some time. He is making excellent progress after only a few weeks
of baths, dips & medication. Mikey will be one gorgeous boy when he finishes his recovery. He is
a muscular, larger built boy & currently weighs around 70 pounds but is working on gaining a little more weight now that
he has had his health issues addressed & been neutered. Mikey loves everyone including children & is full of
wiggles, jiggles & snorts when he greets them. Mikey can paw pretty firmly on your leg though when he's asking
for your attention. For this reason he would do best in a home with older children. Mikey has been good to not
jump up on people. He does very well in his crate, never whines, fusses or barks & goes in easily for a treat.
Mikey is still working on his housetraining but making great progress.

Trooper: Adopted
Trooper got his name because he has been a trooper during his short life. At 7 months old he was hit by a car and found by a local farmer. Time was of the essence, so another boxer rescue rushed Trooper to the vet for life saving surgery. Unfortunately, his leg was lost, but his life was saved and he was neutered. It was also determined that Trooper was deaf. Despite the owner’s neglectful care of Trooper, they were looking for him. Trooper’s owners wanted him back, but refused to help pay for his lifesaving surgery. We all feared the worst for Trooper, being a deaf 3 legged boxer living outside. Trooper would be picked up by animal control 2 times before he was in rescue for good. This last time, his owner finally surrounded him to a kill shelter. Lucky for Trooper, we were there to save him one last time. This time around, his was very emaciated, and heartworm positive. He also had intestinal parasites and an old wound on his head.
Today, Trooper is approximately 3 yrs old. He is very gentle & friendly with people & other dogs. He loves to play with toys of any kind & his foster siblings. He is learning some signs & making progress on becoming house trained. Trooper is doing well with crate training. His foster family has nicknamed him "Three-wheeler". He is a joy to have around. He follows his foster mom everywhere so he can keep his eye on her & enjoys snuggling up to his foster family for a nap or some one on one attention. Trooper will be undergoing treatment for heartworm disease shortly. He should suffer no long term effects as a result. A fenced yard will be required. Trooper certainly deserves his “happily ever after”…..is that you?
Nellie: Adopted
Nellie is a pretty reverse brindle girl that got out of the shelter just in the nick of time. Luckily, an urgent notice from Barktown Rescue appealed to one of our rescue volunteers who could help get her out one day before she was to be euthanized. Nellie is a very energetic & playful girl. She really enjoys playing with balls, other dogs, older kids & adults. She likes to box & can play rather exuberantly with adults. She knows Sit & Down commands. She is learning about crate training & beginning house training. Nellie needs her human to be a strong pack leader as she can tend to push the boundaries occasionally. Nellie will do best in the hands of an experienced boxer owner. We are in the process of getting Nellie's vetting up to date, an age estimate & her spay done. Check back soon for updates on Nellie.

Izabella: Adopted
Iza is an
AKC Certified Canine Good Citizen.
What is An AKC Canine
Good Citizen?
To earn a Canine Good Citizen Certification, a dog must pass a series of 10 tests which include: Accepting
a friendly stranger, Sitting politely for petting, Appearance and grooming, Out for a walk (walking on a loose lead), Walking
through a crowd, Sit and down on command and Staying in place, Coming when called, Reaction to another dog, Reaction to distraction,
Supervised separation. To learn more about the Canine Good Citizen Program check out the following website: http://www.akc.org/events/cgc/
Iza has been with the rescue
for two years and is now 3 years old. She is a very petite white boxer, who was initially an owner surrender when
her family decided she didn't listen very well. It turns out that she was deaf. Iza has no other known medical
issues. In December 2010, Iza earned her AKC Canine Good Citizen certification. Since Iza is deaf, she was also
taught sign language. She is a huge cuddler and loves nothing better than to be in your lap. She also loves to play
and will frequently get the "boxer zoomies" and run full-speed around the yard in circles until she wears
herself out. She is a very smart girl and will tell you when she needs to go outside. Iza does like to put her paws
on the counters and table. We are working on breaking her of this habit. Other than that, she is a perfect dog!
A lot of people have reservations about adopting a deaf dog, but she actually minds better than the hearing dogs in her foster
home. The sign language she knows is very simple to learn, and she uses some of the same hand motions that most hearing dogs
already know. Will you please consider giving Iza a new forever home? You will not be disappointed!

I am a

I love to lounge on the couch and snuggle in bed. Since I’m a young girl, long walks or other exercise are a must.
My current family consists of 4 humans, a 7 year old female cocker/terrier mix, a 4 year old pointer mix, a cat and a guinea
pig. My canine sister and I both share strong personalities and are now having reoccurring conflicts. My family
sought out professional help, but has not been able to resolve our problems. To keep us safe and
stress free, they have made the heartbreaking decision to find a new home for me. I get along wonderful with children, male
dogs, and the family cat. Because of my recent problems with my sister, I must go to a home without other female dogs.
I’m crate trained, but do well out of the crate for a few hours while my family is away. Please help me and my
family find a new forever home that will love me just as much as they do!

on my potty training, but will need a little more work in that area. I like my foster mom to go outside with me when I need
to potty. I like playing outside, but I like it when someone is outside with me. I get along great with all my foster siblings,
which includes large and small dogs. I’m not crazy about my crate, but I will settle down when it is time to go to bed

earned my AKC Canine Good Citizen certification. I am one of the sweetest boys you will ever meet. Despite what you might
think, I live my day to day life just like a hearing dog. The only difference is how you communicate with me. I know all my
basic obedience signs instead of verbal commands. People don’t even know I’m deaf if you don’t tell them.
I get a long great with other dogs….large and small. I love to play and get vocal when I’m having fun. I
do have my natural tail which is quite obvious in my pictures. I am crate trained and housebroken. I’m great with
kids of all ages too!!!

He lies there and watches while she is working around the house. When she sits down, he will come over and sit next to her. He will sit right in your lap if you let him. Rudy is very well behaved and will not jump on adults or kids. He is still working on his housetraining, and basic manners/commands.

up and hardly noticeable. She loves having her own warm bed in her indoor crate as well as a daily routine
with her foster family. Mia enjoys playing with the male & female boxers & children in her foster home.
She really likes to play with the kids and her dog toys together. She will do best in a home with no cats. We
don't know how Mia does with small
dogs. Mia does well meeting new dogs within the comfort zone
of her foster home although she does get anxious when socializing with new dogs in public places.
She enjoys going on car rides & walks best on leash if she has a harness on although she still pulls if something
interests her. She knows basic commands & is a great companion that likes to be near her people.
Mia loves to cuddle & get one on one attention. Mia always has several kisses for you too. She responds quickly
to verbal cues & really wants to please you. Mia is housebroken and crate trained. This girl deserves
a loving forever family.
Lilly is a very special little boxer girl. She gets along great with the other dogs both large and small. Cats are unknown at this point but we don't think she would have a problem.

She is fully housetrained, crate trained and knows some basic commands and listens very well. She is 2 yrs old and ready for a new home. She is very loving and gentle for one so young. She will require some patience and understanding in getting use to adult males.

playful with other dogs and people. Ziva is housebroken and crate trained.

to relax and not be “on guard” all the time, and is beginning to sit and lay in our presence. We finally
heard Myra bark for the first time about two weeks ago. She has mastered walking on a leash and thoroughly
enjoy her daily walks.
