Max is being rehomed because his family doesn’t not feel they can give him the time and attention he needs.

He currently lives with two small children and plays nicely with other dogs, large and small.  He is house broken and crate trained. Despite his young age, he does not chew on things, like most puppies. Max is a very big boy weighing in at 72lbs.

If you take him for a walk, don’t forget his water.  Max loves to drink from a water bottle. His family describes him as friendly, active, playful, and smart.

Cash is approximately 2 years old, and quite a looker. He was picked up as a stray and no one ever came to the shelter to claim him. Cash is very lucky that he made it to rescue safely. He is lucky because he is deaf, which made him even more vulnerable being on his own.  Cash is looking for his second chance with a family that will keep him safe and love him forever. He is housebroken, crate trained and walks nicely on a leash. Cash is adjusting nicely to his foster home and his foster sisters.  He is beginning to learn his basic signs for sit, down, stay, no, and good boy.  Owning a deaf dog is not near as hard as one might think, you just communicate in a different way.  We will require Cash be adopted into a home with a fenced yard.

I have others dogs (5) and he gets along fine with them, I have seen no aggression or dominance characteristics, he plays well and likes companionship. I have cats that he showed interest in but was not a chaser.  He doesn’t jump up or get “pushy”. My experience introducing him to strangers has been positive, he is reserved at first and protective of his person but not aggressive or timid. 

      He knows sit, down, leave it and is working on the stay commands (he is smart). He walks well on the leash and is willing to learn as much as you want to teach him He is house broken but doesn’t know to go to the door if he needs to go out yet, so you have to watch or let him out regularly. We only had one accident in the house. I started crate training him and he is doing well with that, I feed him there and put him in the crate at night. I think the one command his previous owners taught was “kiss”, he is an excellent kisser if asked.

He is housebroken and crate trained. He gets along fine with other dogs as long as he is allowed a slow introduction. He would do fine in a home with or without other dogs. All Joey really wants is to be sitting next to his family on a comfy bed. Joey does have a peculiar style of playing that might scare some people. To get you to play with him, he barks and dances all around you. He means no harm, but he tends to be a little rough which is intimidating if you don’t know Joey. He would probably be best in a home with children who are older (10yr+) and who would not be intimidated by him. He does love kids, but is a little much for young children. Joey loves to play with toys out in the yard, one of his favorites is tug-o-war…and he always wins.

2012PICS/Pauley6.jpg 2012PICS/Pauley7.jpg

Pauley is such a sweet boy. He is approximately 3 years old and so handsome. He was picked up as a stray, but it is obvious he knows about living in the house.  He "boxes" with his boxer foster sister until she lets him know playtime is over, and then he's ready for a nap. Pauley loves being close and will manage to get his head and front legs in your lap and just "hang out" hugging for awhile. He has a comical under bite, and sometimes his tongue sticks out of his mouth a little. He did escape his cage one day and did not get into any trouble while unsupervised in the house. At this point he doesn't like the crate, but we will work on that.  Pauley needs a little work on leash walking, but there is no doubt he will be very good on lead in no time.  He is such a pretty walker….he lifts his legs like he is prancing about so proud. Pauley will also sit for a treat. He is heartworm negative and will be neutered soon.  When approached by a small dog Pauley does fine. He is also fine with older children and we will see how he does with younger children soon. Pauley is new to us, but already clearly a super boy.

Barnaby: Adopted

2012PICS/Barnaby.jpg 2012PICS/Barnaby1.jpg

Barnaby came to us from a home that neglected and abused him. He was so afraid when he came to us that he laid on the family room floor and didn’t move a muscle for 2 hours! He warmed us to us quickly; especially when he found out he was going to be fed 2 meals a day and had a nice warm bed to sleep in. It took a few weeks, but he began to act like the 18 month old puppy that he is. He gets along great with our other two male boxers and is always the first to start a little boxer play. He loves to run around the yard and chase our male boxer and then they stop do a little chest bumping and boxing. To see him enjoying himself is truly rewarding. Barnaby would be a great addition to your family. He gets along with kids and other dogs. Unsure of cats.

My name is Matilda and I’m about 3-4 years old. I’m soooo happy to be in rescue!   I’m learning what it feels like to be loved and to have food in my belly. Yes, I’m white, but I can hear….yeah for me!!!  My foster brother Jayden is white and he can't hear; it’s no wonder he looks at me stupid when I bark at him. Anyway, I listen very well, I’m great on a leash, I’m doing very well on my potty training, and I love to be around people. I’m okay with other dogs, but I’m kind of bossy, so I will need a home without other large breed female dogs. I’ve had lots of puppies over the years, so I’m very glad to be relaxing these days. I’m so ready to meet my new family.

He does need to work on his manners a little, but this is typical of a boxer his age. He needs a home with an active family who has the time and energy to dedicate to him. Because of his age and his size, he would probably do best in a home with older children...10+ years.  Gunni will make a great addition to the right home.
Gunni is being fostered in Cincinnati, Ohio.

 Mac is approximately 1 year old and such a snuggle bug. He LOVES to hang out with his foster family on the couch and have his ears rubbed. Mac is such a joy to have around the house, and will bond quickly with a new family. He gets along great with all dogs, both large and small.  Mac appears to be potty trained, but we are still in the process of determining where he stands with crate training. Since he is on the thin side, he is a little protective of his food around other dogs. He loves kids and would do well in a home with kids of any age. Mac rides really well in the car and hops in as soon as the door opens. Mac will fit nicely into almost any home.

Shae
  2012PICS/Shae1.jpg 2012PICS/Shae2.jpg
Shae was found abandoned in a field; scared, emaciated, and with a broken leg. Shae is less than a year old and only weighed 28 pounds when she came into rescue. She needed orthopedic surgery to repair her leg, which was fractured in two places. Because Shae's health was so poor, her surgery had to be postponed. Shae is doing much better now that her leg has been repaired. It will still be several weeks before Shae is ready for adoption, but she would love to have her forever family waiting when she is ready for adoption. She is good with other dogs and kids. Shae is fully house and crate trained. She listens very well and knows her basic commands. Shae is a petite little girl, who will do good in almost any home.

Sterling is only a year & a half old & obviously hasn't had an easy start in life.  She came to us with a staph infection of her skin & advanced Demodectic mange.  It's amazing to see how once she's been on medications, getting baths, and dips her skin is immediately improving & her hair is already coming back in.  Her condition will improve at an even faster rate once she is spayed.  She is very friendly & gets along with all the dogs in her foster home, male/female, small/large.  Sterling is working on house training, crate training, & basic commands.  Sterling will be available for adoption as soon as her health returns & all necessary vetting is completed.

Aiden is approximately 2 years old, and quite a big fella. He appears to have had a rough start to life. He has several small scars on him and the tips of his ears have fly damage. This would all be the result of living out doors on a regular basis. Aiden also has an injury to his nose that we are currently treating. We expect Aiden to make a full recovery. With some regular meals to help his gain a few pounds, Aiden will be a beautiful boy again.

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.

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.

2011PICS/Achilles3.jpg 2011PICS/Achilles4.jpg

Achilles just turned 3 yrs old & is needing to find her forever home.  She has always lived outside with her sister Stormy who is also needing a forever home.   The sisters will do better being placed in separate homes.  Not getting monthly heartworm preventative & living outside have added up to potentially deadly consequences for Achilles & Stormy.  Both tested positive for Heartworms.  Both have completed heartworm treatment & should suffer no long term effects afterward.  Achilles is the non-dominant, more submissive personality in comparison to her sister.  She is also quite a bit calmer than Stormy, but both have the high energy level typical of young boxers.  Achilles sits on command & will easily offer her paw to you.  Achilles needs a home without cats.  She does well with children & really enjoys playing with toys so much so that she sometimes confuses her toys with kids toys.  Achilles is learning good house manners, is crate trained & continues to make progress on her house training.

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?

My name is Ollie and I'm a 5 y.o. boxer mix.  I’m housebroken and crate trained...sometimes I just go in my cage when I want to rest.  I am good with kids of all ages.  I will need a home without other large breed male dogs. My human foster siblings have nicknamed me "Harry" since my hair is longer than your average boxer.  I look like and act like a purebred boxer except for my long hair.  Oh well, it is okay to be a little different.  I am so cute when I eat!  I like to lay down when I eat with the bowl between my front legs...I like to take my time eating and really enjoy my food.  I am looking for a family who thinks it is okay that I look a little different and who will love me anyway.

I'm Sasha and I was purchased on impulse from a breeder who was selling me & my littermates in the Wal-Mart parking lot.  After only 3 days, I found myself in a foster home for the local shelter.  I’m told that I was too active, and that’s why I ended up in the shelter.  I'm only 8 weeks old & a Boxer.  What did they expect?  I’m already learning how to tell my rescue foster mom that I need to go potty & will sit for a treat if you are patient with me.  I am a typical Boxer puppy, full of energy, curiosity & antics.   I need lots of time & attention from my people in order to learn how to be a good family member.  Please don't apply to adopt me unless you have the time & lifestyle to accommodate a very young Boxer.  You will also need to take me to a basic obedience class in order to take adopt me, no exceptions.  I won't leave rescue until I've had enough vaccinations for me to not get sick & after I've been spayed.
