8/23/07 Hi! It's
me , Pete, again, and WOW, am I turning out to be one lucky dog. The same
nice lady that took me out of that yucky shelter place took me to the vet,
where they say I was neutered. I'm not sure what that means, but I did
notice that I seem to be missing a part. It doesn't bother me much, and she
says I was a very good boy when she took out my stitches. Can someone tell
me what stitches are, and why did I need them taken out? Anyway, I have been
living at her house ever since the trip to the vet, and I have made a new
best friend there. Her name is Eve, and she is a little boxer girl who has
to sit in a funny box when she eats (weird), but whatever. She is really a
lot of fun. She is small, but boy can she run and jump. She's almost as fast
me, and! we play and wrestle together everyday. The other 2 dogs that I live
with love me a lot.

Hi Everybody! My name is "PETE". I was rescued from a shelter in
Philadelphia last Sunday. I was turned in as a stray that somebody found in
their back yard. I'm in pretty good shape in spite of my current
predicament. I could use to gain a few pounds, but I'm a big guy, and very
strong.
I went to stay with a nice lady overnight until I could go to the vet for
a checkup. She had a nice big crate for me, so I could get some good rest. I
had some treats, a couple of good meals, and some fun playing in her yard (
I am very rambunctious). She says that I am crate trained, but probably not
house trained (had an oops or two, sorry). I do know how to sit and stay,
but I could use some help learning to walk on a leash. I haven't had much
experience with one of those it seems. The lady says it appears that I may
have lived outside due to my lack of training in these areas. I know I can
learn these things, as I am very smart, and would be so happy to find a
forever home soon.
Do you think you could teach me? I promise to try really hard to learn
how to live in your house like a good dog. I have a very lovable
personality, and really like a good pat on the head and a hug.
I'm staying at the kennel for now, as there are no foster homes available
for me. I hope you'll bring me home with you. I'll love you forever if you
do!!!!

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 |
