Pictures coming soon!

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]

Comments: 1/17/10: Check out my new pictures! I'm cute, right? Don't ya just love stretching out on the couch on a lazy afternoon?

12/31/09: Edgar is a big goofy sweetheart. He had kisses for everyone he met and rode beautifully in the car. He definately did NOT like the cats at the vets office. However, while I have not seen him around kids or other dogs, I have a feeliing he would do just fine. Do you have a place for the SWEETEST BOXER I HAVE PICKED UP ALL YEAR? [more]

Comments: 11/14/09:Hey guys. My name is Hercules and I'm a little nervous right now. My family lost their home and had to move back to New York. My Boston Terrier brother and I were left behind. By a stroke of luck I made it to Florida Boxer Rescue. So, I'm with people I don't know in a place I've never been. My new friends tell me it's only natural to be a little nervous.

I have heartworms so I'll need to be treated for those, but not for a month because I just got neutered. I need to find a foster home in a calm environment so that I can relax and get better. Right now it's kinda hard to relax so I'm hoping to get settled in a foster home really soon. [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: 11/17/09: 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]

Comments: 1/18/10: I made it out of that awful shelter and, after several hours of traveling, I went to a wonderful family who has a beautiful boxer girl, a small mix boy, 2 cats and 7 horses. They have all welcomed me with open arms. I got so excited that I rolled on my back in the grass and twisted like the shepherd in the movie K-9 and sang 'I Feel Good'. I have a scar around my neck that shows how I had a collar embedded, but it's healed. I also have several scrapes that looks like I escaped some bad place as my mouth has a blister and a few teeth are missing.But I love my new foster family and all their critters and know life will be good from here on out.

More to come as my sweet, good manners come out to show everyone how great I really am!

Comments: Update 12/25/09: Hi! My name is Kansas...on a rainy day, two weeks ago, I came to my new foster home. My foster mom gives me so much love and all I do is wag my tail....and I even smile at her, she thinks that is soooo special! Right now I cannot go on any long walks because I have arthritis in my back and my left leg, but I am taking lots of things to make me feel better. That's what happens to us when we get older, at least that's what my foster mom says! I am hoping to lose some weight once I can take long walks again because that would help me feel better too. At my new house there is a elderly Persian cat and we get along just fine; I want to play with him but he just doesn't feel like it, so I play with my toys and with my foster mom. [more]

Comments: 2/1/10: Lando was an owner surrender. We do not know why, but his owners say he loves kids and car rides and is housebroken. Lando will need some brush up on his leash manners and to learn the word "NO". He is a beautiful boy. We were told he is very shy and timid. However, I can honestly say he is not. He was a lap dog from the time we left Polk County and gave plenty of kisses and hugs to all the humans he met. He is ready for adoption now, but I can say he needs TLC as he loves being with his humans. For the record, Lando is not a backseat driver; he likes it up front, close and personal. Please, do you have room in your heart to adopt this boy.

Comments: 1/20/10: Hey Max here! I started my life like a dream with a family that loved me, gave me a name and taught me how to live in a home. Somewhere along the way they must have stopped loving me because I was forced to live tied up outside, which explains why my hair is worn off in a few spots, but don’t worry, it’s quickly growing back. Thankfully I escaped and was found roaming the streets of Lake County to be rescued by FBR. Foster mom and dad named me Maximus “Max” because they say I’m just a big teddy bear. I don’t know about the bear thing, but I am a very chill guy who just wants to cuddle. I get along well with other dogs and even 9-month-old babies! I was very gentle with foster mom’s nephew! Walks are great, but sometimes I get excited when I see a squirrel, so I need to practice my leash manners. I love car rides, and don’t need a crate when left alone. If you are ready for a laidback boy to cuddle and love, I’m your man.

Comments: 1/22/10: Hello everyone! It's been a while since I last updated you on how I'm doing in my new foster home. After a few trips to the vet and the support of FBR, I'm feeling great! I have what's called diabetes insipidus. 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. I've been on the medicine for about two weeks now and I feel great! I also have a little arthritis in my back left hip, but when I take my vitamins and medicine you'd never know it! I love to wiggle and kiss and cuddle. I am an older guy so I don't chew up your stuff, I don't need a lot of exercise, and I'm very relaxed. [more]

Comments: 1/20/10: Missy is a very loving and playful Boxer. She is 6 years old but still acts like a puppy:) She plays ball with her foster brother and sister, will give you her paw, and knows how to sit and catch treats. Missy loves to be near people but will not get on the couch or bed. She is crate trained but does love to be given treats as an award to go inside:) If a man starts to play with her and then stops, Missy runs up to him and tugs his pant legs to get his attention so he'll continue to play! It is so funny:) Missy will be starting heartworm treatment soon.

Missy is on the left in both pictures.

Missy seems to be adjusting well to being part of a family. Will you be her FOREVER family?? She hopes so!

Comments: Update 12/16/09: Rex is a very special boy and is doing wonderful in his foster home. Rex is energetic and has a lot of love to give, but he needs the right furever home. Rex had separation anxiety and is working hard to overcome it. He now goes into his crate and settles right down. Rex needs a family with children over the age of 10 so the children can be pack leaders and Rex can follow. He is fearful of new people, but we are working on that with him. Rex needs a very structured home. His new family should understand that he needs exercise, rules, boundaries and limitations, and THEN Love!!! He loves to run and plays with his toys by himself. He is a happy dog and loves life! Rex has taken up roller blading and LOVES IT!! He goes roller blading (running) almost every day with his foster skin brother Daniel and has really gotten the hang of it.[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: Update 2/1/10: Sarge is doing very well. He is a really good boy and low maintenance. He is happy hanging out at the house with his foster sisters, but he does enjoy his walks or going for a ride in the car. He gets along really well with his 2 foster sisters, but seems to lack confidence when meeting new dogs. He was a little apprehensive when he first met his foster sisters but settled right in, like he has been here his whole life. Sarge is completely potty trained and does not need to be in a crate. He has full run of the house and we have never had any issues with him on the furniture. We confirmed his age on his AKC papers - he is 7. Sarge is still very playful and loves to chase the light from a flashlight. He is learning some new commands and is walking very well on a leash. Sarge is really looking forward to finding his forever home. [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]
