11/27/13 Homer has been in his new
foster home for a little over a week and his foster mom reports that he is
the most “easy going” houseguest. He is well mannered, completely
housetrained, and doesn’t need crated during the day. While the gray muzzle
in his pictures let you know that he is an older guy, don’t be fooled. He
leads the way on daily walks (3 plus miles), keeps up with his 4 year old
boxer fur sister when playing and when she gets tired, he will entertain
himself with his toys. However, despite how much Homer loves his walks and
his play, he will easily stop doing either if he is given the opportunity to
sit close and snuggle with his “humans”.

Homer is in need of a new
foster home. His current foster family feels that he would do best in
a home with children over the age of 5. Homer would love a foster or
forever home with another dog or somebody there often for him. If you
can help Homer, please let us know today!

Homer is still looking for his forever home! He is a very social dog and
loves the companionship of his foster siblings (fur and human). He would do
best in a home with other dogs or someone that stays home with him. He is
the welcoming committee when guests come over and expects love from
everyone, whether they want it or not. He is a super mellow dog that prefers
to lounge on the couch all day. Homer is very fond of toys and can chew them
in record time, so having plenty around is a must. He is a great dog and
would love to find his permanent family.

Homer has now been with us for
a week and a half, and he is settling in great. When I first brought him
home, he followed me everywhere. I couldn't go to the bathroom without him
whining desperately at the door...afraid he was going to be left...again.
It broke my heart. Now, he follows me everywhere - but with a wagging tail.
He is truly the perfect gentleman.
Homer is the dog that sleeps at your feet, welcomes you home with kisses
and a wiggling body, and sleeps at the end of your bed. He learns extremely
fast and walks great on a leash. Homer loves my very energetic kids (ages 3
and 5) and gets more excited to see them than me...even though I feed and
walk him. My 5 year old has decided that he likes him better than our dogs
because Homer actually listens to him.
Homer would be a welcome addition to any family. He is also great with my
female boxer and wimpy cocker spaniel. I honestly can't find anything wrong
with this handsome guy.

Homer is a 7 year old boxer who has lived in the same home his entire
life. His owners are moving to New York and can only take one dog, so
he is being left behind. Homer was scheduled to be taken to a high
kill shelter on Tuesday, but they reached out to AABR to see if we could
help this sweet boy.
Homer is wonderful with children of all ages and has lived with two
female boxers. He has a very loving temperament. Homer has been
used to a fenced yard and a doggy door. He is completely housebroken.
Homer enjoys giving kisses, going for walks, and you can often find him
reclining in his favorite chair.
Homer is scheduled to arrive at our boarding kennel until a foster home
can be found. Please offer to help this older guy to get him out of
the kennel as soon as possible. Apply today for Homer! |
