Thanks for the input. We will try to take them out back on leashes when we first arrive, and every couple of hours thereafter. If that doesn't work then they must be marking. Luckily the in-laws don't have carpet, so it is easy to clean. I'm hoping we don't have to leave them out back all the...

Seriously, I don't know why. We adopted Kaci and Harlie four months ago and they have had no accidents in our house. They are inside dogs and sleep inside and are very well behaved. We let them out throughout the day at home and no accidents. They let us know if they need to go out but usually...

Those are great guidelines that I have read on many of the boxer rescue forums. That is basically what our plan is. Thank you for the reassurance. I agree with you on not leaving the food out all the time also because I don't want to attract ants and/or rodents as we live close to a river...

A week from now we will be taking home two female boxers, Harlee (9) and Kaci (3). Their family is having to move and can't take them. We have met them already and absolutely love them, they seem to love us too and we are looking forward to bringing them home. They are mother and daughter and...

Hi I'm Sara. My husband, David, and I have been wanting a boxer for over a year now. We have been researching the breed and agree that it is the right one for our family. Originally we thought we would get a puppy, but boxer rescue has been a consideration as well. We recently heard about a...
