12/28/08 Muggles
is doing just great! He has settled in really well, and gets along famously
with all of the other dogs & the cat as well. He was quite a handful when he
first arrived, but he has learned a lot about what behavior is acceptable in
the house and what is not. He's not quite perfect yet, but is trying pretty
hard to get it all right. He has an astounding amount of energy which he
puts to good use by wrestling with my other 2 Boxers, Eve (please check her
out on this site as she is still searching for her forever home), and our
senior boy Wiz. He's a lot like the energizer bunny. he just keeps going,
and going! He is a very sweet boy who likes to cuddle even if that means
walking over everybody else to get his "spot". He is a happy go lucky boy
who sees the joy in life, and wants to live it to the fullest. He's great in
his crate. He's gotten really good at sit & wait. We're working on lay down.
He's still wants to jump up on you when he's really excited, but we're
trying to correct that as well. For that reason alone he would do better in
a home with older kids, but he loves people & dogs of all shapes and sizes.
Please consider adopting this fun loving, whacky boy, and giving him a
family he will cherish, as his family will cherish him.

Muggles
joined our family about 2 weeks ago, and what a comical fellow he is. He has
done very well with everyone here including the cat. He shows great interest
in our resident feline, but also great respect. I do keep an eye on him when
the cat is around, as Muggles is a prime example of just what a young boxer
is like. He just wants to play, and wrestle, and bounce, and run.
Our most senior boxer girl Rosie, who is 13, absolutely adores him, and
romps and wrestles with him like a girl half her age. They are just so funny
to watch. Even though it can get pretty rough, Muggles really seems to know
when she needs a break, and treats her with the utmost respect, and
submissive behavior.
He does need some work on his basic commands, but is mastering sit, and
wait. He does pretty well on the leash as well. He has been to a couple of
different AABR events where he has met all kinds of people, including lots
of kids, and lots of other dogs. He has gotten along just beautifully with
all of them. I do recommend that if Muggles finds a home with children that
they be of the older variety due to his extremely high energy level. He
loves his toys, especially the twisted rope types that he can chew on, and
really enjoys a Kong stuffed with some tasty treats.
I really think he is just adorable, and with a little work will turn into
an incredibly well mannered young boxer boy, but I remind you the work will
be necessary. If you are ready for this boisterous boy to become a sweet,
cuddly, joyful member of your family then apply today. An adorable guy like
Muggles won't be around for long. Don't miss out on the chance to bring him
home with you.
9/5/08 - Muggles
Muggles is a handsome, energetic boy estimated to be around 2 years old. He
loves people and attention. With calm introductions, he is friendly,
curious, and playful with other dogs. Muggles will be neutered this week and
will then be ready for his new home. Please offer to foster this boy so we
can learn more about him. Thank you for your interest in Muggles! |

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 |
