Comments: Update 1/20/10: Hi everyone, my name is Dude. Pretty cool name, huh? I like it. So I will be quick and tell you about me. I have a baby, you can see it in my picture, everyone wants pictures of me when I have it. I like the cat my foster family has; I used to live with another Boxer, but he passed away. Foster Mom says I am going to meet a Boxer girl this weekend, I was told she is really nice. Foster Mom and Dad take me to the store a lot and I am a very good boy, I walk right next to them, when they stop, so do I. When the want to go, they just say "follow" and I follow them. As long as I can go, I'm good.

Foster Mom here. Dude is so quiet, he has been here for 5 days and he has not barked. [more]

See my very own video!!

Comments: Update 12/12/09: Jake is the easiest dog to take care of. He just likes to hang out with me or he is just fine with his foster siblings. It really does not matter to him. I have put away Jake's crate, he either just sleeps on his bed or mine. He has full run of the house all the time. Jake is no problem at all. He does love attention and hugs and loves to give big boxer kisses. Jake does require some meds, but is a healthy and happy boy.

Update 6/3/09: Hello, this is Jake! Did you check out my new video? I am the star of the show. I would love to be in your family video too. [more]

Comments: 11/4/09: Jasmine is a beautiful boxer gal with lots of love, kisses, wiggles and smiles. Her former owner loves her very much but realized he wasn't able to give her the attention she needs and decided to ask Florida Boxer Rescue to help find her a new home. Jazzy is one of our new "Flying Boxers", she flew from Venice Airport to Leesburg Airport to her new foster home. She had first class accommodations on her flight with Pilots N Paws and did very well on her first airplane ride. Please check back soon to hear more about this special girl as her foster home gets to know her better.

Comments: 11/17/09: Hi, my foster mom calls me Jasper or sometimes "puppy". I used to have another name, but I like this new one and I come when she tells me to. I've had a couple of homes before now and I really like it when I can live inside the house. I tried the "outside" living and I had to jump the fence to go look around...and that got me into trouble.

I like to run fast! I've made a great track around my foster mom's back yard - whew - watch me go! My foster mom says I run like a greyhound, whatever that is. I would love to have a family that would take me for a run every day. I have lots of puppy energy. [more]

* Jasper needs to go to a home with another dog!

Medical Spotlight Update

Comments: Please check out my medical spotlight page!

My name is Juliette and I'm ALL puppy. Even though I barely have any fur right now due to Demodex mange, I still wiggle and play and have tons of energy. I will need a foster home that will be able to give me medicine daily and probably baths a couple times a week until my fur grows back. I'll also need to be spayed when I gain weight and feel better.

So, do ya want me? I need a foster home ASAP! Kisses!!! [more]

Comments: 12/14/09: Kaiser, aka Lil Kaiser Roll, is a picture-perfect 2-year-old Boxer Boy with all the playfulness and energy that entails! He lost his first owner when he had to move from a house to an apartment. Then a nice neighbor took him in, but it turned out to be too much while caring for her young grandchildren. I told Kaiser "third time's a charm" so his next home will be his fur-ever home! Here's Kaiser's dream family: no children under 13 [he plays hard and can knock little ones down], enough time for AM and PM play and exercise sessions, and immediate enrollment in obedience training. Kaiser does know 'sit' but needs leash training. Kaiser is full of wiggles, kisses and love and is looking for a family that is committed to him.

Comments: 2/15/10: My brother Swamper and I are returning to FBR. Will write more after I meet my new foster family.

Comments: Update 11/12/09: Leroy here! I had a super exciting weekend!! My foster mom and dad took me to the Boxer Bash in Tampa--woo hoo!! There were lots of Boxers and tons of people. It was a gorgeous Florida day and we had a great time!!

I'm getting neutered in December and then I'm ready to go! Please read all about me; FBR and my foster home have taken such good care of me, but the time is getting near for me to find my own forever home.

Update 9/14/09: Leroy here. I am waiting anxiously for my operation (well maybe not anxiously), so that I will be ready for my furever new home. [more]

* Children at least 8 years old.

Comments: 1/12/10: Malone is in da house! What a sweet boy; rode well in the car. He seems to be crate trained and possibly house broken. Malone can sit and give paw at the same time. He needs a little polishing on his leash manners. More to come from his foster home.

Comments: Update 11/19/09: I may not be as young and pretty as I once was, but if you want good company and some love, I'll give you lots. When I want something, I just come to you and let you know. If you ask me what I want, I'll take you to the door, food dish, or water bowl. I like to go for walks, and if I see a cat, I just keep walking. I like cats, but they don't trust me until they get to know me. Kids are my best friends...I play in the yard with them and we run and play ball. I've been to the dentist and the vet and I got a clean bill of health, so I'm ready to come be your forever pet. You won't be sorry. [more]

Love & Kisses
Megan

Picture coming soon!

Comments: Update 11/5/09: Rosco has been with us for almost 4 months now. Poor baby. He is living with two old couch potatoes and has gained 12 pounds. He is a hefty 74 pounds now and still just as active. We have converted him from sleeping with us to sleeping on his own pillow. One of his quirks...he loves to growl at me when I am on the computer. I guess he is saying "mom, get off that thing and play with me" He is so silly! He loves to have his tummy rubbed and his favorite thing in the whole wide world is his giant Kong with peanut butter in it. He will go and stand in his crate and wait for me to deliver the kong.
Rosco will be at the Boxer Bash. Please come say hi. [more]

Comments: Update 11/17/09: Hi everybody, Stella Rose here. Yes I know that is quite a name but there is a story behind it. You see, when I was born two years ago to FLBR Minnie Me, my foster grandma called me Rose; when I was adopted, my new family called me Stella. I was returned to FLBR because my family has fallen on hard times and is unable to take care of me, so I am now back with my foster grandma, Lori, who has decided to keep the name Stella so as not to confuse me, but still loves the name Rose, so voila! Stella Rose.

I am 2 years and 3 months old and was one of a litter of seven. When I was born my foster grandma took extra special care to make sure that all of us pups were happy and secure in the world we were born into. [more]

Comments: Update 1/18/10: For 3 years Roxie was in a crate or on a chain while her owner worked 13 hours a day. She had little bonding or attention, no boundaries, little socialization, and no training. But her foster family has done wonders with her. Roxie is a tiny, petite little girl with the cutest little face you have ever seen on a full grown boxer. She stands about 18 inches at the shoulder, with a perfect litle boxer body. Although she is three, Roxie acts and plays like a one year old. She is learning boundaries, obeys and is bonded to her foster mother, likes people, LOVES her fur siblings and LOVES to play non-stop all day. At night she cuddles up in a recliner and sleeps in a crate next to the other two dogs. She gets along well with kids about 8 to 10 years or older, but she hasn't been around younger kids. [more]

Comments: 12/3/09: I am a happy and energetic young lady that was surrendered to the shelter by an elderly owner who loved me enough to know I needed to be with a family with activity and exercise. I have the most unusual tail that makes me special, they tell me.
More info to come as my foster family gets to know me.

Comments: 1/8/10: Hi! Sanford here. I've been out roaming the streets of Orlando with a small female English bulldog and we got caught on the run. After a crazy few days, I have arrived at my new foster home and am very happy to finally have a place to call home base. I have been super sweet to my foster family and my fur sisters. My bigger fur brother and I don't quite see eye-to-eye, but we are working on peace and harmony. Because of this, if you are considering me, I might show you my best behavior in a home as an only dog or with a female fur sister or two. (We're not sure about cats or children, yet...but my foster mom will let you know in a few days. [more]

Comments: Update 1/22/10: I arrived at my foster parents' house from training on this past Sunday. I sat perfect in the car for the whole 2 hours and loved on my new skin parents, 14-year-old brother, 16-year-old sister and my 2-year-old Dogo Argentino and 8-year-old Lab fur sisters (not to mention the cats, hamster, frogs, turtles and fish). They said I had no attention span and needed lots of direction, but my foster mom set my rules and that was all it took. She says she has never seen such a gentleman. I walk perfectly on a heel while on my leash, sit and stay when asked and NEVER jump on anybody. I even know what 'easy' and 'wait' means. I am very respectful around all the kids in the neighborhood (haven't met any toddlers yet though) and sit while they pet me. I get excited and do my Boxer wiggle, but I'm really a pretty laid back guy.[more]

Comments: Update 11/22/09: Sky here! Well, I had a blast at the boxer Bash. I got along with every person and every dog. I just like everyone. I met a lot of people and some seemed very interested in me, but so far I have not heard from anyone. I will keep waiting for my forever home but in the meantime I am enjoying my foster home - foster parents and brothers. I have a new favorite game that is a combination of keep away and ring around the rosy. I get a toy and go round and round the couch with Hopper in hot pursuit. Hopper usually wins but we have fun. I also love to chase a laser light.

Note from mom: Sky is a great dog. She is still working on her issues with loud noises but is doing better. She loves to cuddle and gives the most dainty boxer kisses.[more]

Comments: Update 11/2/09: Thoth thinks he is a lap dog... really! He gets along okay with others, but he would be fine as the lone dog as he really wants the attention. Thoth is easy and will be a great addition to his forever family.

Update 10/29/09: Hello ladies! Remember that guy in High School or college that didn't have to advertise the fact that he was cool? That would be me, Thoth. Don't worry about pronouncing it, just call me "Mr. T". Those pesky teeth that were bothering me are fixed. The doc says I am ready to play and gives lots of kisses. This guy that feeds me says that out of the 9 or 10 boxers that have been through here I am the most laid back and cool of all. [more]

Comments: 12/14/09: Tina is a very petite sweetie pie who cannot stop the wiggle dance. She was very happy when FLBR rescued her from the shelter. She needs to be spayed and then begin heartworm treatment before finding her forever home. More will be posted as her foster family gets to know her.

Comments: Update 12/31/09: Willie here again! I am just letting everyone know that I am still here. I am enjoying my foster home and playing with my foster brothers. I love my Frisbee and ball, but my whole life doesn't revolve around them. I enjoy long walks (doesn't have to be raining) and cuddling. I didn't like my pictures so I had my foster dad take new ones (aren't I handsome). So, if you enjoy the same things as me then maybe we are a match. We can meet and get to know each other first and see what happens from there. If we like each other I might be willing to let you take me to my new furever home! [more]

Comments: 2/1510: This handsome boy's family has fallen on hard times and can no longer afford two dogs. Zeus has been raised with a female Boxer and a cat. He is very well mannered and has had training by his previous owner. He has lots a Boxer wiggles and kisses for everyone he meets. More to come after he visits the vet.

* Zeus prefers female dogs...guess he's a ladies man!
