Herschel is Heartworm negative!!!!

His treatment was successful. He was neutered and is ready for his forever home.

Herschel is doing SUPER! He is the sweetest most gentle soul I've ever met. He loves snoozing in his comfy bed. He is very good with our resident female boxer. She is very playful and is in his face all of the time. He just walks the other way and lets her get away with pretty much anything. "Hershey Boy" as I like to call him is a big boy and really enjoys feeding time. I think he's finally starting to feel like himself again. He often goes for rides in the car with me and thinks it's just the greatest thing to hang his big old head out the window to get some fresh air. He had a very good check-up at the vet this week and Dr. Mark says his heart looks very good and seems very strong. He has free run of the house while I'm at work and is always waiting for me in the front widow when I pull in the driveway. So far he likes most of the dogs t! hat he's met. Hershey will make a great companion for anyone that wants the perfect dog.

Update -I took Herschel to the vet this evening. He received a wonderful check up! The vet said that he looks like he's doing very well. She checked him out and everything checked out fine. He tested negative for whipworms and hookworms. The only thing now, is recovery from the heartworms.

He is eating great and doing very good in his crate. Because of his HW, he stays in the crate while I'm at work, and at night. I don't hear a peep from him!

He is an absolute SWEETHEART!! He loves to give kisses just as much as he likes to get them! He's going to make a family a great companion someday!

Herschel is HW positive and will need a quiet home to care for him as he goes through treatment!

7/30/07 -

Herschel is a HW positive male boxer who is sweet as can be. He is a 3-4 yr old white male boxer that can hear. He has natural ears and a docked tail. He is getting his Heartworm treatment on Monday and will need to stay at our vets for the whole week to make sure he is ok after the treatment. We are in dire need of a foster for Herschel that can keep him quiet and give him lots of loving. Herschel came from a very high kill shelter in GA. They are a shelter that begged for us to help them as the rescues down south could not help.

Herschel is up to date on shots and will be neutered after he completes his HW treatment. He is on to a better life already thanks to donors like you.

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
