3/22/15 Ziggy has been our house guest
for a week now, and we couldn't be more impressed with this guy! At
just 2 yrs old, he is suprisingly relaxed and very well behaved. He
loves everyone he meets, plays extremely well with his bratty boxer foster
brother, and is incredibly patient with his older bossy foster sister.
Ziggy also does amazing in his crate. All he asks for is a couple
cookies when it is time for him to go in and he is as happy as a clam.
Ziggy loves his toys and plays very well for such a young, strong guy.
We are working on the "drop it" command right now. Although we are
fairly confident that he knows what it means, sometimes being a teenager
gets the best of him and he only wants to drop it in his own good time.
Much to his foster brother's dismay, Ziggy is also very good at
entertaining himself. Our boy will pester him nonstop to rough house,
and if Ziggy isn't into it - he will just pick up a toy and toss it around
by himself. Oh, did I mention that this guy is an expert cuddler?
In case I haven't - he is pretty perfect at it! After a slobbery kiss
or two, he will curl up into the tiniest ball right beside you, or try to fit
himself onto your lap. With his big velvety head resting in your lap,
it is hard not to find a smile crossing your face.
It is a rarity that you find a boxer with an off switch, and suprisingly
at just 2 yrs of age - Ziggy has one This guy knows how to play hard,
but naps just as hard. We think Ziggy is a pretty special guy.
He knows all his basic commands (especially if you have a cookie). He
will need a bit more work on his leash skills. A seat belt is also a
must when in the car. Ziggy is goofy in all the right ways, has a great
energy level, a big heart, and unlimited potential! Needless to say,
we are pretty smitten and we hope you will be as well.

Ziggy
has arrived at his new foster home. He did great with the
introductions to the other dogs, even when the resident male was not happy
about him being there. We will update his page as Ziggy gets settled
in.

Ziggy
is being returned to rescue and would do best in a home without small
children. He is wonderful with other dogs. Ziggy loves people
and still has a lot of puppy energy. He thinks he is a lap dog and
always wants to cuddle and sit on your lap. Ziggy does get excited and
needs some work with jumping when meeting new people. He is up to date
on all vet care and needs a foster home so we can get him out of boarding.
Apply today if you are interested in Ziggy!
2/2015 - Adopted
2/16/15 -
Ziggy was surrendered to the shelter because his family did not have time
for him. He is super friendly and reported to be good with children
and other dogs. Ziggy did great on his transport to the vet and was
excellent in the crate. He just arrived at his new foster home, so we
will be updating his page once they get to know Ziggy better. |

If you are interested in adopting this dog, please first read our Adoption Procedure,
by clicking on the link at the top of this page,
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 3 months to adopt a Rescue Boxer to an
approved applicant, depending
on your personal circumstances and flexibility.
Not every home is
the right match for a boxer, and 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 at your home visit of other dogs you are interested... 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.
