Hey guys, it's been a while since I've been to the boards. It's also been a while since I've searched for a dog.
Here's the situation, on September 1st of this year I lost my Beloved Bailey and Rex lost his "sister aka best Friend." Cried my eyes out and went through all the stages of grief.
I went to look just generally online where to find a Boxer of sale or adoption and there is a myriad of postings and I have no idea who is legit and who is running a puppy mill.
I was hoping that maybe someone on the board knows of a reputable place to get a Boxer Female. I'm fine with taking in an adult (that's how I ended up with Bailey in the first place) but I'll go the "Puppy rout" too if that's my only option.
I live in the Northern Virginia Washington D.C. (Nations Captial) area of the country and really hoping someone can guide me along. Things have changed so very much since 2011 when it was that I found Bailey and that was a fluke.
So if anyone can help me out and find a little girl who needs a home I would greatly appreciate it. I don't trust some of these sites the various "puppy finders" and whatnot. Just feels sketchy to me but maybe that's just me and all those people have been checked out and run a legit business.
I just feel completely lost and desperately need help from the community.
Attached is a picture of my Beloved Bailey.
