Comments: 7/19/10: Hi, I'm Raquel
and I am a good girl! I'm housetrained, but not crate trained.
I know how to walk good on a leash. I like some dogs, but I
really prefer smaller dogs...oh, and I like cats and kids.
Raquel is a kind little girl. More to come
about her once she is in a foster home.

Comments: Update 7/14/10:
Dice is a wonderful boy who does
not jump. He knows the commands for sit, down, and paw!! He
is very attentive, and polite; he sits and waits to go outside
and is excellent on a leash. Dice is learning his crate and
goes in with a cookie or his food but does not need it. He would
do good in a home with another companion big or small as he
has lived with a smaller dog before.
See my new pictures! Inside snoozing
or resting in the sunshine....I'm one good-looking fellow.
7/6/10: Dice has just gotten to his
foster home; more to come as we get to know this boy.

Comments: Update
6/15/10: Rio's on a mission: she wants her fur-ever home!! Is
she persnickety? Persnickety as defined by Webster's is overparticular;
fussy. Yes, she is. But a girl can be particular when picking
her friends can't she? Rio met a 2-year-old male boxer and they
were instant friends; she even shared her food and water with
him. However, she's not like that with every dog she meets.
She's been friends with an American Bulldog and a Chihuahua,
but not so much with a German Shephard puppy and a Great Dane.
If you have another dog, please give Rio a chance and ask about
setting up a meeting. If you don't have any other dogs, Rio
is an excellent human companion. She's calm in the house, completely
house-trained and used to being crated 8-9 hours a day. She'd
love to go on daily walks or runs with you and we all need that
exercise-buddy don't we?
Rio's waiting to hear from you so please call soon!

5/20/10: Osha is a very sweet boy who is learning to sit and
stay on command. He will be starting his heartworm treatment
this Wednesday. The staff at the vets office says he is real
sweet - which we already knew!
5/18/10: Osha came out of Lee County
today. He is super skinny but is so sweet... and a leaner. He
rode great in the crate and slept during the two hour trip.
He will be learning leash walking 101. Osha will be going thru
heartworm treatment soon and hopefully will put on some much
need weight. He wagged his little nub and gave kisses.
More to come from his foster home once he settles in.

Comments: 3/30/10: ChuCho was surrendered
at Animal Control with his sister Roxy. They absolutely adore
each other. Both are two of the friendliest dogs I have ever
met. I have no doubt they would like other dogs, and though
they have not been around kids, I would think they would be
fine. Unfortunately, they both have heartworms and a severe
case of mange.

Comments: 4/16/10:
Hello everyone! My name is Libby. I am one energetic little
boxer girl. Before I joined Florida Boxer Rescue, my original
family left me in a crate after they moved. When Animal Control
found me I was malnourished and dehydrated. Thankfully they
saved me just in time and now all I need is a little weight
and you'd never know about my previous life! My new friends
at FBR say I need some basic training. I know "sit,"
but I can learn so much more if you teach me! I liked all the
dogs at the vet's office when I was there and I wanted to give
the kids I met kisses. I'm probably a little too hyper for smaller
children, though. Not sure I know what a cat is, but if I meet
one I'll be sure to report back to ya. Other than that, I'm
ready to go! I was just spayed so all I need is a foster home,
or even better, a furever home! Come meet me and I'm sure I'll
win you over!

Comments: Update 3/30/10: I now have
a wonderful foster home with a boxer brother to play with. The
nice lady who took me to my foster said I am wonderful! beautiful!
and very well trained! She said that I am very laid back (whatever
that means). My owners had to give up all of their canine companions,
so I have lost my little bullie brother as well. I was told
that I am great with little kids, leave cats alone, and get
along with most everyone, even other dogs. I will have to be
vetted soon, but then I will be ready for my new home. Would
you like an older brother for your kids or companion animals?
I'm your boy!
3/17/10: Chopper is a handsome big
boy who is losing his home after 7 years. He is crate trained,
has had obendience training, and walks well on a leash. Chopper
is good with dogs, except small dogs, but he does like cats
and small children. More to come on this handsome boy when he
finds a foster home.

Comments: 6/4/10:
Hi, Casper here. I am an energetic boxer who could really use
a companion. I enjoy the company of dogs of all sizes and need
a home that already has one. I'm deaf and able to understand
basic sign language; sit, paw, lie down, and speak. I struggle
at times being alone, which may require that my new owner spends
a lot of time with me at first. I know with your help and hard
work, I can become completely obedient. What I really enjoy
is going for a walk or run, or going to the dog park to play
with other dogs. I play really well with kids, but might not
be best for homes with real small children as I'm very energetic.
I can't wait to meet my new owner. Please feel free to bring
any other dogs when visiting me so I can get to know them too.

Comments: 2/24/10: This sweet Boxer
boy has won the hearts of everyone who has had the good fortune
to meet him since he came into rescue. He is very calm by nature
- one of those that whatever you want to do is fine with him.
We have listed unknown with cats, but when he was taken into
the cat room for his pedicure before leaving animal control,
he did not seem to show any interest in them. Dempsey loves
to go for car rides. He does have scarring on his back but the
wounds are old and do not bother him in the least. Dempsey is
heartworm positive. He does not have other dogs in his new foster
home, but during his sleepover during his transfer, he was fantastic
with the resident Boxer boy and girl.

5/12/10: Jin is simply a joy. Look how happy she was to go for
a walk and get some treats (top picture). Great attitude. She
sits before you can get the word out of your mouth!
4/28/10: I have a "New Leash on Life"!
FBR came to my rescue today. My name is Jin and let me tell
you a little about me. My story is sad like some of the other
FBR boxers; I was bred many times just to have puppies to make
money for my owner. I used to have a beautiful shape and nothing
sagging, but now I am skinny and need to put on 20 pounds or
more. If you saw the pictures of me, you would cry. I look like
some of those animal cruelty cases. I always had to be on the
defensive side and defend myself. FBR has promised to make me
beautiful again and find me a loving home. I can't wait. Please
think of me. Thank you!

Comments: 3/15/10:
Hello, my name is Sugar Ray. I am new around here and arrived
at my foster mom's house a few days ago. I hopped up into the
back seat and curled up nice and quiet. Once we got home I met
the resident dogs and my skin teen siblings. My foster mom gave
me a nice bath, it felt great and I walked around proud and
handsome. I met my fur sisters and man are they fun. That Luna
(my 2-year-old fur sister) loves to play with me; in fact, that's
how my foster parents gave me my name. I have this great play
right hook, she didn't even see it coming. I know I'm a boxer
but my foster mom said she's never seen a right hook on a dog.
We have been playing and having fun. I greet my family without
jumping on them, but if you let me I'm on your lap in a quick
minute to curl up and snuggle. [more]

Comments: 6/1/10: Hi Garza here!
Boy what a day. I got picked up from Manatee County Animal Shelter
and was met by another lady who took me far up to my new foster
home. I am shy right now until I get to know you. I was so uncomfortable
today and the ladies tried helping me by giving me a capstar
to kill my fleas. We had to stop again because they were so
bad, but my new foster home gave me a bath and the fleas are
all gone. Yahooo - do I feel alive again. I have a bed, food,
toys and a new life.
Peoples - remember flea and tick and heartworm
prevention can prevent alot of heartache.

Comments: Update 10/13/09: Foster
Mom here. Buddy has been with us for a week now and has settled
in very well. Buddy is such an affectionate and loving boxer
and loves to give lots of kisses. He loves to be close to you
and is happy following me around the house and will even wake
from a nap to come find me. (We have nicknamed him shadow.)
Buddy is deaf, but he is also very smart
and can understand some hand commands for sit, hug and get down.
Being deaf, storms and fireworks are no problem and I can hoover
while he naps without waking him. He is great with my 2 children,
ages 7 and 6, and will come upstairs with me when I put them
to bed so he can give goodnight kisses. [more]
