Homes Needed

Updated Monday, January 23, 2012
Please note: These are only a few of the Boxers in our care.

	GROVER	What??!!! Well, gosh almighty if it isn't ANOTHER really nice boy up for grabs. Grover is a tall young guy just itching to get into a home where he can start the business of being a Boxer. He's very young, very active and very ready for family life. Fenced yard required.
	NOAH	Noah is jumping for joy over his new life so far (despite the expression in the photo-that was before he saw his new accommodations). Regular meals are really great, living inside is way cool and nice people are so much fun. He's so happy he can hardly contain himself (he may need to take it down a notch pretty soon). Fenced yard required.
	MC CLOUD & ISABEL	McCloud is a really big couch potato. Isabel runs rings around him and is definitely the brains of the operation. Both are attending classes with varying degrees of success - McCloud has been spotted sleeping through the "down" exercise and Isabel's attention tends to wander. McCloud is deaf. We will not separate the two. Fenced yard required.
	MADGE	Madge is a petite little firecracker. Cute as can be and as active as all get-out. Speaking of which, any cats in the vicinity better 'get out' or suffer the consequences. Definitely not cat-compatible but absolutely lap-compatible. She's small enough not to block the TV while snuggling. Fenced yard required. No cats.
	EVA	Pint-sized pistol! She spins, she twirls, she scampers and leaps, Little Eva oozes personality and sparkles with charm. The only thing this young lady lacks is a low gear. Would benefit from a little training and a yard with a built-in race course. Fenced yard required.
	OX	Nice, sturdy young Boxer. Good-looking guy, just needed to lay off the cheeseburgers for a while. Ox is fit and trim now. He'd like a home with someone willing to share their burgers and fries - in moderation, of course. Fenced yard required. No cats.
	WALKER	Well, now, here's a whole lot of Boxer. Walker is a big boy. All the actions of a typical young Boxer with a little extra size and weight thrown in for good measure. Body-slamming not recommended unless you want your chickens scattered. Fenced yard required.
	JIMBO	Happy, handsome and sturdy young boy. Jimbo's only complaint is that basketball season is starting and he has no one to watch the Bulls with. And no couch to watch them from. No TV, either. Gotta rectify that situation soon. Fenced yard required.
	LILA	Lila wants to go home in a pink Cadillac but we are hoping she will settle for going home with someone who brings her a pink teddy bear. She also wants her kennel and her nails painted pink but we have drawn the line at that. A very girly girl. Fenced yard required.
	MOCHA	Another innocent victim of the economy (who isn't?). Mocha is a pretty young lady with no concept of economics whatsoever. Not real familiar with basic obedience, either. That's easier to fix than financial woes. Fenced yard required. No cats.
	BERNIE ADOPTED	An all-around good old-fashioned Boxer! Bernie is built like a Hum-Vee with a head the size of a VW. Sturdy, cheerful, outgoing and always ready for action, just like they used to make 'em back in the day. What's not to like? Vicki's latest boyfriend. Fenced yard required. Adults only household preferred.
	JOY	Sturdy, smart and fast. Translated, that means Joy needs either Invisible Fencing or a high fence with locked gates. She's pretty, charming, and adventuresome. Will probably lose her wanderlust once she finds a home worth staying in. Fenced yard required. Available when heartworm treatment complete.
	REMMY	Remmy is deaf. We all know deafness in white Boxers is common and for most, not a really big deal provided the dogs owners are responsible and understanding. When they are not, well, the world can be very confusing. We will attempt to unconfuse Remmy and, while we are at it, maybe we can slip some self-control in there somewhere. He's pretty, um, "energetic". Fenced yard required.
	DOMINO ADOPTED	Seriously misunderstood by his numerous previous owners, Domino is not stupid, he's deaf. Since landing on our doorstep this very young boy has made substantial strides towards achieving his true potential. We understand him just fine. Very active (normal!), very funny (you have to be a Boxer person to 'get it') and slowly but surely becoming a star pupil in class (how do you like them apples, former owners?). Fenced yard required, Has allergies.
	MICKEY ADOPTED	Mickey is a charming little guy in need of an experienced owner in a catless household. He happily goes to classes and makes goo-goo eyes at his trainer - and any other ladies within view. He is leery of some men so joining a frat house is out of the question. Fenced yard required. No cats.
	MORRIS	Yah, he has a gray face. Think that means this guy is too old to liven up a household? Think again - Morris is not ready to throw in the towel just yet, folks. He's fit, he's charming, and he expects us to find him a home. Do not leave this boy sitting on the shelf. He's too nice a dog to be passed over. Fenced yard preferred. No other dogs.
	TY	Recent reports of a tornado touching down in Ringwood turned out to be unfounded. It was just Ty playing. We should have known - tornadoes tend to pass through fairly quickly. Ty can shake the walls for an hour at a time. But he's young! Hooray! Come get him, please. Fenced yard required. No cats.
	BLOCKER & LAINIE	Very nice pair of Boxers. Blocker (l) & Lainie (r) have been through a lot together and deserve to stay together. The two have a close bond which we don't want to break. So someone should give them a break and take both. Oh, c'mon - it's not difficult to handle two - especially two that already get along so beautifully. And they are a handsome couple, aren't they? Fenced yard required.
	TED	Ted is a work in progress: deprived of pretty much everything a Boxer needs previously, he is learning what those things are and how to enjoy them. He already has the "lap dance" down really well and is ready to move on to toy-tossing and yard cruising. Ted is also really, really good-looking. Update: Since Bernie has left Ted is Vicki's new boyfriend. Fenced yard required. Cats kind of okay, depends on the cat.
	DINA	How anyone can live with a face like that and not even feed her (or her brother, Danny) is incomprehensible. Dina is taking full advantage of her improved circumstances and rapidly approaching optimum weight. She appears relatively unscathed by her past neglect but time will tell.... Fenced yard required.
	DANNY	Dina's brother Danny seems a little more sensitive and will need time to come out of his shell. He's getting special treatment (lots of reassurance and cuddling) currently - updates to follow. Fenced yard required.
	ROSETTA	VERY sweet young girl - except when it comes to anything small and fuzzy, especially if it moves - or breathes - or blinks. Rosetta will rid your garden of bunnies in no time. You won't be pestered by squirrels, chipmunks or Shi Tzus, either. Cute AND useful! Heartworm treatment underway, available when complete. Update: Heartworm treatment complete, ready for adoption. Fenced yard required. No cats.
	KELSO	Somewhat mysterious, Kelso may be a magician. We believe he uses his big, dark eyes to hypnotize the staff and coerces them into giving him their lunches. We have no solid proof of this since he leaves no evidence of these actions behind. He has gained a significant amount of weight since his arrival (he needed it) while the staff all look thinner. Hmmm..... Fenced yard required. No cats.
	EMBER PERMANENT RESIDENT	This sweet lady epitomizes all the qualities described in our Seniors' Letter. Her undeniably gray face reveals her maturity but Ember still maintains all the charm and exuberance that defines Boxers, regardless of age. And she can still chase a cat like the kids. No cats.
	VELVET PERMANENT RESIDENT	Gray-faced, yes. Ready for retirement? Oh, heck no! Despite appearances, Velvet is definitely NOT a little old Granny-dog. Unless your typical Granny is a weight-lifter. Powerful, active, and lively. Fenced yard preferred - strong arms needed to walk on leash.
