This poor, sweet girl has had a rough time. April is a bit shy,
but once she knows you are not going to hurt her, she is a sweetheart.
The vet even commented on what a nice dog she is! More to come

Comments: 8/13/10: BeBe was pulled
from a shelter and had several medical issues. Besides having
heartworms, whipworms and hookworms, she also had lung flukes!!
This poor girl was a mess. BeBe has been dewormed and spayed
and now is doing well in her foster home. BeBe is a calm, quiet
girl who just wants to snuggle with her foster mom. She is living
with a male boxer/dane mix, who until just now, started to initiate
some play with him, but not much.
She is content to hang out with Scooby, but would much rather
put her head in her foster mom's lap and take a siesta.
BeBe is a good girl when left alone
in the house, but is very shy when taken outside for walks.
She would much rather be inside and would not be the girl for
dog parks or long walks. BeBe has to start her heartworm treatment
so won't be available until mid September.
Comments: Update 6/1/10: About six
weeks ago I had surgery on my left hip. The doctor said I had
either had a bad accident or I was severely abused. The surgery
I had is called an FHO. http://www.2ndchance.info/hipsurgery.htm
They removed part of my femur bone. This will stop my pain and
allow me to use the leg. I may walk and run a little funny,
but I will be fine. I am doing great but the vet says it may
take six months for me to fully heal. [more]

Comments: Update 6/20/10: Bongo is
settling into his foster home just fine! As you can see, he's
a long-legged boy that really enjoys an after breakfast nap!
And rope toys. Him and Petey the min-pin became fast friends
and now neither one will go outside without the other. Bongo's
favorite trick is High-5. As soon as he see's you reaching for
the treats, or making breakfast and dinner, his right paw goes
right up, sooo adorable! He's not a jumper, and he knows to
stay back when coming in and out of the house, letting the leader
[human] go first. He's crated 8 hours a day and is house-trained.
He doesn't give kisses, but does give lots of hugs! Want a hug???
If so, ask about Bongo.

with the frisbee or tennis ball - though she's perfectly happy
to curl up at your feet for a relaxing afternoon indoors. She's
crate trained...though she doesn't especially love it, she understands
and is more than eager to greet you when you come home.
Brae has a brilliant, positively upbeat
spirit and extraordinary demeanor. More to come as we learn

Comments: Update 6/11/10: Hi, Brutus
here. I'm really enjoying my foster home where I immediately
got along with my foster fur sister and two foster skin teens.
Even the cat isn't bad now that he trusts me. My foster parents
say that I am a smart boy because I sit, stay, and lay down
on command and walk on the leash. I don't try to get on the
furniture and I put myself to bed in my crate when I'm tired.
My foster mom giggles about how cute I am when I sleep because
my tongue hangs out.
During the holiday my foster family had a bunch of people over
for some food they cooked outside and there were little kids
everywhere. They loved playing with me and hugging me. I was
really nice and gentle with all of them and I even let them
keep their food. The grown-ups were very impressed. [more]

Boxer girl with hearing. She is very sweet and looooves people.
She greets everyone she meets with lots of Boxer kisses, nub
wags and butt wiggles. She is in boarding right now and will
be spayed once she is out of heat.
Comments: 8/23/10: Champ needs an
experienced Boxer home who can work with him on exercise and
socialization. He gets very excited when meeting new people
or seeing other dogs. Most other dogs take this the wrong way.
In fact, Champ lives with a Shitzu who is the boss, and Champ
has lived with Beagles in the past, so time and patience will
get this boy in the right frame of mind to fit in most households.
He hasn't been around kids and would probably knock little ones
over with his excitement. Champ is already housetrained and
can be left in the house without being crated. He's just waiting
to find that person willing to teach him the proper way to meet
new people and dogs. Please, if you have room in your home and
heart for a "Pet Project" Champ is your boy. I know
he'll reward you with lots of slurps and snuggles.

I'll be ready in two weeks providing I

her sole purpose was to produce puppies. She came to FBR pregnant,
but because she was so sick, not one puppy from her last litter
survived. Then it seemed things were looking up when she was
adopted. Unfortunately, those people that promised to love her
forever broke their promise and now Duchess is back with FBR
and looking for her true forever home. Even after all she has
been through, she has boxer kisses for everyone and the fastest
nub on the west coast! It's probably best that she be the only
dog so that she can be doted on as she deserves.

to a Hoover vacuum since he will eat any food that has been
placed in his bowl and any other bowl on the ground left sitting
there. He is also potty trained and has yet to have an accident
inside the house even when he is left for a long period of time.

Hannah is heartworm positive, but needs to be spayed before

Hannah is a little on the dominant side so will need continued
training and a strong pack leader. More to come as Hannah is
treated for heartworms.

skin family is home he is relaxed and loves to nap. Every afternoon
he enjoys playing with his two female boxer friends in the fenced
back yard. Without his humans close, Hercules often becomes
anxious. He is not an in-your-lap boxer, but he does need to
live in a home where a human is home most, if not all of the
time.

discovered that Ingo CAN hear! Yay!! Ingo had a terrible
ear infection when he was brought in, so that may have been
a part of the problem with his hearing, but he hears just fine
now. This is such great news for Ingo! On a different note,
Ingo has now decided that the cat looks like a super cool toy
to play with, and has taken great joy in chasing him all over
the house. It is safe to say that Ingo should not be placed
in a home with cats. Ingo has a clean bill of health and is
looking for a loving, wonderful home that will work with him
on his manners and help him to be the best Ingo he can be!

I'm a sweet boy who just needs some direction. Leash manners
101 would be good for me. Sing Language 102 - as I have no clue
how to sit, stay, down, etc. I would do better with older children
in their teens. See, us non-hearing dogs get startled very easily

my fellow non-hearing boxers!

It sounds scarier than it is, I promise. Basically, I don't
produce enough of a hormone so I'm always thirsty, which makes
me have to go potty a lot. So, the doctors gave my foster mom
medicine to put in my eye, which helps me not be so thirsty
or have to go potty as much.

girl who adores everyone she meets. She does better in a harness
on walks and always attracts the neighborhood kids who she showers
with kisses and wiggles. She's not fond of the crate and knows
how to open gates with latches to get to you. She is working
on all her basics and we'll know more about her once she settles
into her foster home. Check back for updates!!
Comments: 8/31/10: Hi, my name is
Sneakers. I am the new kid on the block. I broke out of jail
and am heading for new beginnings.
Sneakers needs to go through heartworm
treatment. He is a sweet boy. More to come once we get him into
a foster home.

Comments: 8/20/10: Hi everyone, I'm
Teddy! The nice FBR lady who picked me up from the shelter gave
me that name because I reminded her of a teddy bear - soft,
cuddly and sweet! I'm a happy boy who wiggles all over and my
natural tail constantly wags. I slept most of the way on my
ride to Four Paws in Lakeland. You see, I don't have a foster
home but I'm hoping for one real soon! They treat me wonderful
here, and even gave me a bath when I arrived so I'd feel better
all fresh and clean. When I came in I met the Boxer matriarch
who welcomes all new arrivals and I was quite the gentleman.
BTW...I already know sit and down, and I don't pull hard on
the leash; how about that!
I have those nasty heartworms so will need
to go through treatment before I'll be ready for a new home.
Check back soon for updates!

Comments: Update 7/1/10: Tessa was
starting her heartworm treatment and a mass was found on her
chest. The mass was removed but this has delayed Tessa starting
her heartworm treatment.
Tessa will be available for adoption possibly in mid august.
6/7/10: Tessa just arrived in her
foster home and is a little scared right now. She will need
to go through heartworm treatment and put some weight on. There
will be more to come about this sweet baby as we get to know
this special girl.

8/27/10: Tia here! Wow, I am glad to be rid of those yucky heartworms!!
And I feel just great now.
Running and jumping and just snuggling with my foster parents...
that's how I spend my days. My foster parents also have been
teaching me things like sit, down and stop. But I taught them
how to catch a tennis ball. They also want you to know that
I am getting better at leash manners.
Please open up your heart and let me snuggle with you. I am
soooooo ready for my new family. And I will give you lots of
sweet kisses too.

sweet boy who loves to play with other dogs, is wonderful with
kids and has a super-sweet disposition. He walks well on a leash,
and he listens and knows basic commands. More to follow from
his foster home when they get to know him.

Comments: 8/27/10: Trixie was brought
in with Maggie May. She is very shy and scared right now, but
warms up and loves to be made over and loved on. Both girls
were surrendered with severe cases of mange which the vet feels
will clear up after being spayed and with time and TLC. I know
it's difficult to see right now, but she has beautiful fawn
coloring with a black mask. More to come as she comes out of
her shell.

Tyson has heartworms and will need to go through treatment.
8/11/10: Tyson is a very sweet and
handsome brindle boy. He rode very well in the car while providing
me with lots of Boxer kisses during the drive to the vet's office.
He was happy to meet the other dogs and the kittens in the waiting
room, but was a gentlman and greeted them all in a calm manner.
More to come as we get to know him better.

Upton came to us via another rescue. He was tied to a picnic
table in someones backyard and abanonded. He is very sweet and
just wiggles his little nub when someone comes in to see him.
He is being vetted at the moment and FBR is making sure he gets
what he needs. He got along great with the small dogs in the
other rescue. Upton loves everybody - especially men - but whoever
pays attention to him becomes his new best friend.
Upton is my name and I like hanging with
the guys in the dugout! My closest friends call me BJ but I
am not used to either of those name yet. Can you guess who I
am? I can't wait to be adopted and be in a forever home, but
for now I do need a foster home to hang out in while I put on
some weight.

Comments: Update 8/24/10:
Xander is the most adaptable dog I've ever known. He's content
to be warm, loved, fed, and safe. He came to our home, a 'broken'
man emotionally and physically, with cloudy eyes and obvious
fears of hunger, thirst, abandonment and pain. It is always
amazing to me how quickly a dog will trust again, given the
space, patience, and time. There is now a very clear sparkle
in those once cloudy eyes, such a thrill to see. I could go
on and on, but it's best I let him fill you in.
Oh boy! Oh boy! Oh Boy! I'm still inside the house, amazing!
Come sit over here by me and I'll tell you about a few interesting
findings. Here I have a brother boxer that is so swell, he protects
me and I follow him everywhere.
