Boxers are indoor dogs. Why was Santo left outside unattended? I would suggest crating him indoors when you're not available to supervise....

Unless you're going to show or breed the dog, there really is no reason to register the dog. You say she was adopted... most rescues retain superior title.

What is it that you don't like about males? We have two female... and currently a female foster. However, we also have a strong male. This changes the pack dynamics.

Re: Re: Re: Ideal situation for fosters My wife Chris was coming home from the rescue farm, and the owner posted something about Chris and a surprise for "Johnnie." I asked, "Who's Johnnie?" Michael

I like to see a foster home thats as close to an adoptive home as possible. After all, the foster home is preparing the dog for its forever home! I don't expect anyone to be home all day; that's not realistic. If there are kids, cats or other dogs, they can help assess the the new foster...

It is our policy that the boxers must willing go with the new family! And so often, the don't look back. Its hard sometimes, we get attached, but the goal is to find thebest home, and whenwe take our time, I think we usually find it. I believe the dogs understand; boxers are smarter than...

Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome! Kadin did find a great home! We're having a "meet and greet" at Iowa Pet Foods on 22nd St. in West Des Moines on Saturday, the 20th of Sept. from 1:00 to 4:00. Hope to meet you, Gina and your boxer girlie!

Hello, everyone. My name is Michael and my wife Chris and I are the coordinators for Central Iowa Boxer Rescue, Inc. I'm so glad to hear that Tallamaska is now found. I've been involved in boxer rescue for three years now, since we lost Tiger, our first boxer. We have learned much through...
