10/3/11 Chevy is doing well. We
continue to work on socializing him. He has gotten better meeting new
people, but he needs slow introductions. He will need to go to a quiet home
with not too much traffic and a family willing to take it slow with him. He
is a big super sweet mush once he knows and trusts you. Included is a
new Facebook video of Chevy:

Chevy completed his heartworm
treatment and is doing very well. He was also recently neutered. He is a
really sweet and affectionate dog. He loves playing with toys and walks
nicely on a leash. He gets along with his 5 foster bothers and sisters.
Chevy does need a confident, in charge owner who is experienced with the
boxer breed because he is insecure in new situations and with meeting new
people. He needs slow introductions and a home committed to him that will
consider working with a trainer to help him over his insecurities. If you
think you can give Chevy the home he needs, please apply to adopt this this
big, beautiful boy.

Chevy came to us with severe
demodex mange. He had no hair on his legs and part of his face, and he was
also suffering from a secondary
skin infection which
caused his legs and face to swell. It is amazing what proper nutrition and
care will do. Chevy has improved drastically since he was first taken into
rescue. He is now growing a beautiful new coat and his face and legs are no
longer swollen. Now that his mange and secondary skin infection are under
control, he will be starting his
heartworm treatment.
Chevy is doing well in his foster home. He is a big boy, over 85 lbs of
muscle, but he is amazingly gentle for a dog his size. He is such a sweet
and affectionate boy. We are working on basic commands and he is learning
very quickly. Chevy loves to play with toys. He likes to walk around the
house with the toys in his mouth -it’s just so cute!! This boy deserves the
best forever home after all he has been through. If you can give Chevy the
loving forever home he deserves, apply to adopt him today!

Chevy finally made it out of
the vet kennel after 3 weeks and up to
New York to his new
foster home. His foster mom calls him the gentle giant. He is a very big boy
and weighs over 80lbs and is still thin. Once he has gained some needed
weight, he will probably be about 90lbs.
Chevy loves affection and thinks he is a lap dog. He is good with dogs. He also knows his basic commands and is a gentlemen on the
leash. He really is a very sweet boy.
Chevy's mange is doing better, along with his secondary
skin infections. The cost of his Vet stay and his medical treatment
is very expensive. He still needs several more weeks of treatment for his
mange and heartworm treatment. Please help by supporting Chevy.

Chevy's condition is the result of neglect. Demodex Mange is highly
treatable and is usually the result of bad nutrition, and a bad and
stressful environment. We are working on getting some additional
photos on him, and will post them as he goes through his recovery.
Please help us help Chevy.
