1/27/07 What a
gentleman he is. He is doing so well and what a GREAT boy to have around the
house. We've nicknamed him Captain Pluto and he responds very proudly to
that. He likes to eat, he listens very well and sits on demand anytime you
ask him to, even in the middle of playing around. He's a bit more laid back
than most boxers, not too into playing with toys. He is housebroken. Likes
to be by your side, Loves car rides and going for walks. Still pulls on the
leash, but we are working on that. This boy will make such a great addition
to a home that is looking for a best friend in a dog.

Update
- URGENTLY NEED A LONG TERM FOSTER HOME FOR CEASAR We are looking for
someone with a huge heart, who can provide a loving, long term foster home
for this boy. He is a sweetheart of a boy who, through no fault of his own,
can’t seem to have things go quite right for him. He gets along well with
people and other dogs. We prefer he not go to a home with children, a more
quiet home would be more to his liking. Please open your heart and home to
Caesar, he deserves the chance to live in a home with a family who will love
him and care for him long term, if needed. He is a very low key boy and a
joy to have around. Please give him a chance. Thank you.

Update - Caesar was surrendered when his person was deployed to Iraq and
the family would not keep him. He arrived at our home on Sunday evening. I
can't believe anyone would not want to keep such a sweet, awesome boy.
Caesar is one of the most well-behaved and calm Boxer I have ever met. I
have an even harder time understanding why they couldn't feed him properly.
He is so thin. He has a great appetite and loves to get extra treats (hoping
to fatten him up faster!) and in no time at all he should be weighing in at
his appropriate weight of 70-72 pounds. A thorough exam at the vet
found him to be a very healthy boy, with the exception of being malnourished
over the past 10 months.
He is great riding in the car. He hopped right in and sat down to enjoy
the ride. His leash manners seem to be OK, with so many new smells to
conquer it was hard to make a good determination. Caesar was not raised with
children in the home, but has gotten along nicely with visiting nieces and
nephews ranging from ages 3yrs and up. Caesar has been great with my seven
year old son. Timmy loves to play catch with the dogs and Caesar didn't seem
too impressed.
He is getting along great with his other 2 foster Boxer brothers. He
seems curious about the cats, but not anyway aggressive towards them. I
would highly recommend Caesar to any family that has a lot of love to give.
And also to a family that wants to receive a lot of love. Oh, one more
thing - he likes to sleep in our bed too! We had 3 boxers last night. It
doesn’t get any better than this!!!
Thank you for your interest in Caesar. |

If you are interested in adopting this dog, please first read the
information on our
Adoption Procedures,
then fill out an
online application.
Boxers and Applicants
are not matched on a first come, first served basis.
Not all applications are approved. On average, it takes
between a week and 1 month to adopt a Rescue Boxer to an
approved applicant, depending
on your personal circumstances and flexibility.
Matching Boxers suitable for placement
with younger children, other dogs, cats, and special
needs, yours and theirs, increases the application review
time and adoption time.
And yes, we
realize that the Boxer you may have your heart set on, may be adopted
before you're approved. Should your first choices all ready
found their forever home, we want you to advise
us as to other dogs you are interested in at
Adoptions@AdoptABoxerRescue.com . Or let
us suggest a few that we feel will match your home.
That is what we are good at. And be happy for the
ones that have been placed... and know that there are way too many
fantastic dogs waiting in their place.
Our non-profit organization is wholly comprised of hard-working volunteers whose only reward is seeing our wonderful
Boxers placed in loving, permanent homes and given another chance for a happy life. Our process may seem slow, but if you are patient, we will try to provide you with a devoted, loving companion - a
Boxer.
We hope you feel that
the right Boxer is worth waiting for.
Adoptions Fee: $300 |
