I am posting here, due to frustration of people adopting a Boxer and not having a clue of the breed.
Recently, I worked to get a white Boxer adopted from a kill shelter. The family that adopted him (I had never met). Emailed me and said he was doing great. I received an email last night stating that he was not working out with their family and that they wanted to know if I would be willing to take him? Otherwise, he would have to return to the shelter. Here are the reasons why he is not working out:
1) He drools on their floors and furniture after he drinks water
2) When they leave him alone at home, he gets bored and becomes destructive
3) They have no room for a crate for him
4) The lady that took him in is too over weight to walk him
All these things could have been avoided if they would have know ANYTHING about Boxers.
His name is Zero and here is how sad his life has been up until now. He is 4 years old and owned by a family that left him tied outside. They fed and loved him whenever it was a good time for them. He had run away and ended up at the shelter 4 or 5 times. The last time, they just decided not to pick him up. At the shelter, he was 45 pounds when he arrived and wanted to be up in your lap for attention. The family that adopted him in December said he has now fattened up to the weight he should be and is GREAT with their 9 year old son. They have two cats that he could care less about. I took my two Boxer boys to meet him when he was still at the shelter and he did great with them. His new family has said they would take him to the shelter if I can't find a home for him. He is such a sweet boy and has had such a hard life. I hate to see him start all over once again. I would take him, but like I said, I already have two males at my home. I have contacted several rescues and they are all full.
I figured this might be a great place to post him, because everyone on here would be familiar with Boxers little quarks. If anyone wants to foster or adopt him, please let me know!!
Thanks for reading,
