Christian C.
Boxer Booster
Our local shelter recently adopted a boxer out who had been left in the overnight drop box. I fostered her for two weeks, and she was a complete lovebug--totally housetrained, loves to ride in the car, walks on the leash beautifully, etc. I left her for several hours at a stretch with my two boxers, and she was fine.
However, in her adopted home, she is an only dog, and seems to suffer from severe separation anxiety, gnawing on doors and windows when left alone. She also chews on the crate, and the person who adopted her is not willing to work with behavior modification to calm her down.
She will be returned to the shelter this weekend, but it is already overcrowded, and we haven't had luck with any boxer rescues who can take her. I would re-foster her, but she and my female had some pretty severe fights.
She would be wonderful in a home with another male dog, or with someone who can give her love and patience while she gets acclimated to her new home. She is beautiful and very affectionate; about 2 years old, bright fawn with lots of flashy white markings, cropped tail and natural ears.
We are in central Virginia, just a few miles from Lynchburg, an hour and a half from Roanoke, an hour from Charlottesville, and 2 hours from Richmond.
Please let me know if there is someone willing to work with this special girl.
