    Do the boxers in foster homes understand when they leave to go to their forever home?

    When the foster mother brought Duke to our house, he was excited about "checking things out" but the minute she walked out that door, and he had to stay behind, he ran to the windows and was watching her leave, and whimpered, then ran back and forth to the doors. After awhile, he layed down on...

    New Boxer here, with a little luck!

    Good luck with Moses! I also adopted from GABR, and I love my Dukey so much. I also had the privelage of meeting Hunny up close and personal, and what an adorable and loving girl! My Duke is 2 yrs old and full of himself, and he has every right to be - but it was nice to see Hunny, her name...

    Turned down

    I adopted my boxer from rescue, and I was approved even though I did not have a fenced in yard at the rental property, but the lady from rescue made it very clear to me that you can never leave him outside off-leash, for his safety and other's safety. One time he wiggled out of his collar, and...

    unfriendly neighbor

    I just wanted to update everyone - I did contact city hall and the police department, our dogs are liscensed and up to date on shots, spayed and neutered, etc. - so there is no law broke there. I told them that this lady threatened to continue calling the police until our dogs are taken from us...

    Yes, the fence was up before we bought the house but no, we did not know it was on our land. I dont know what will happen regarding that issue, yet it is not fair that it is our property, our house payment and our property taxes paying for her enjoyment. If she was nice and not so unrealistic in...

    unfriendly neighbor

    I am so glad I posted this concern! I am waiting for my fiance to get off work so I can tell him about the land/fence issue, and the steps we need to take to protect ourselves and our pets. I really dont know what her problem with us is though. We would never keep our yard filthy, boxers tend...

    Thank you so much for this valuable information and suggestions. I immediately went to the web site posted by Sandy and printed the dog legislation report.. I will take all this to heart. It is too bad she has to be this way, at least I have some ideas to protect my rights and my dogs. Thanks...

    unfriendly neighbor

    I think the more "aggressive" - if you can call it that of our two dogs would be our terrier mix, she is a toughy, and only likes certain people.. Duke would go home with anyone who had a treat! He is dog aggressive with certain dogs though, and I admit that, but I always keep him on a leash...

    unfriendly neighbor

    Yes, we own our house, just bought it - welcome to the neighborhood. :p Her fence is actually two feet onto our property, and if she has so many problems, maybe we could have a problem with that. I dont like to be rude though, and when she got hostile after my fiance told her that her...

    unfriendly neighbor

    We purchased a home in April. We have a terrier mix and a boxer. Our new neighbor has a dalmation. She 1st asked us to pick up "messes" in our yard after our dogs were done with thier business, as she found this unpleasant. I obliged, I usually clean our yard every couple days. Now she has a...

    This is very sad

    Reading this did make me extremely angry at whoever could treat an animal this way, and alot of sadness for that poor boxer. I think that if it is ever discovered who did this, they should never be allowed again to have a pet, or a child for that matter. I am sure Whittie is very grateful to the...

    My family veterinarian chastised me today... :(

    We adopted one of our dogs from the humane society, where they are exposed to each other and whatever colds/illnesses they may have. She got a clean bill of health from our vet, who congratulated us on adopting instead of purchasing from a breeder. We adopted our boxer, who came from a wonderful...

    house burglarized, boxer stolen out of kennel

    I agree with you completely on this. The law is basically patting them on the back for not getting caught. What I dont understand is if they have their address, why dont they go their and see if Lily is there, or drive by and check it out periodically, as they would have to let her out from time...

    house burglarized, boxer stolen out of kennel

    At least you tried by offering the reward, you really are doing the best that you can in the situation. I can not believe that the law enforcement is not doing more though, if they know who the people are, and found your other stolen items, then why cant they press charges on them and demand the...

    house burglarized, boxer stolen out of kennel

    I wanted to send my sympathy out to you and your family. I had a guy pull up to me when I was walking my boxer, and asked me how old he was, was he fixed, did I have his papers, and I became very nervous and made a mental note of the type of truck he had and his description. He told me he was...
