12/07/08 - In foster with new info
Update - Tippy is now known as Rudy. His foster family thinks it fits
him better.
He is now in foster with 3 other dogs, 2 cats, and 2 children. He
also is a big hit with the neighbors 7 and 8 year olds who come to visit and
play with him.
This is a great dog with a very sweet personality, and deserves a really
special home.
My foster family says this poem was written for me.
I am the kindest soul they ever met. I had a tough life. I was found as a
stray dragging along my chain. You can tell I spent my days and nights
attached to someone's home. Someone did not care. Thank God for Adopt a
boxer rescue. They rescued me, will you?
I get along with everyone, dogs, cats, people. I am happy to sit next to
you, rest my head on your lap, sleep at the foot of your bed. I don't bark,
I am house broken. I cry in the crate and it isn't needed because I would
never destroy your possessions. I want to make you happy. You lead and I
will follow where ever you want to go. If you love the breed and you are
looking for the sweetest soul that ever entered a boxer then adopt me! I am
Man's Best Friend! The one absolutely unselfish friend that a man can have
in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him, the one that never
proves ungrateful or treacherous, is his dog. A man's dog stands by him in
prosperity and in poverty, in health and in sickness. He will sleep on the
cold ground where the winter winds blow, and the snow drives fiercely, if
only he may be near his master's side. He will kiss the hand that has no
food to offer, he will lick the sores and wounds that come in encounter with
the roughness of the world. He guards the sleep of his Pauper master as if
he were a prince. When all other friends desert, he remains. When riches
take wings and reputation falls to pieces, he is as constant in his love as
the sun in it's journey through the heavens. If misfortune drives the master
forth an outcast in the world, friendless and homeless, the faithful dog
asks no higher privilege than that of accompanying him to guard against
danger, to fight against his enemies. And when the last scene of all comes,
and death takes the master in it's embrace, and his body is laid away in the
cold ground, no matter if all other friends pursue their way, there by the
graveside will the noble dog be found, his head between his paws, his eyes
sad, but open in alert watchfulness, faithful and true, even in death.

Intake Reason - Tippy is an extremely handsome black boxer. We're still
getting to know him, but he was a favorite at the shelter where he came
from. Tippy had been there before, but this time the owner never looked for
him. I'm taken by his good looks and his beautiful dark coat.
He's nice to walk on the leash, and loves attention from anyone standing
close enough to pet him. I did a google search for "black boxers" and found
some beautiful dogs who look just like him and a very interesting history of
his breed color.
This boy is a real showstopper, and he'd love to be your new friend. |

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 |
