I am still looking for a forever home for Ginger ( 1 1/2)whom I rescued 4 months ago. She had heartworms,has been treated and is now ready to go to her forever home. Ginger is not for everyone,she will need basic training,sit,stay,down,etc,she is very hyper as all boxers are but she is also very strong,she is all muscle and you would be amazed at how strong she is. She is only 50lbs but is soooo strong. I have tried placing her on petfinder but people whom respond never write back so I thought this would be the next best thing to try. I try and rescue one boxer at a time because I am a stay at home mother with five dogs of my own and a little one whom is 14months. Ginger is toy/food aggressive so she is not allowed around my dogs,we did the dog intro and she plays to rough and then starts a fight after 15 minutes so we have just kept her away from all of them. She does not like CATS,she will kill them if she gets ahold of one. She has just had a bad start in life,not abused such as hit or anything but from what the lady said I got her from she was outside in a run with a pitbull right next to her whom I guess she did play with at times,(male) but he seperated them for a reason and I am thinking because they fought? Its been four months now and its time for her to find a forever home,she is still working on crate training but is very stubborn,she is on Iams and loves to eat,she loves toys but will not go get them and bring them back,she jumps up on you all the time so I have to carry and glass cup around with me with rocks in it and shake when she trys to jump it scares her so she doesn't jump( Trainer told me to do that and it works). She will be a great companion for someone whom has time for her,you have to have time or it was a wasted effort because she needs time,patience,love and a forever home. She does like children but like I stated she jumps and would knock them over or scratch them from jumping. I live in Indianapolis Indiana and would be willing to drive if I find the right home. Thanks so much for listening Amber
..... so they said they had two more dogs to go look at and would call if they wanted her,no call back as of tonight. I am very picky about whom she goes to and I am very honest about my feelings as in no she wouldn't be good for your family or yes it could work out. I just don't want someone to take her and end up taking her to the shelter because they couldn't put up with her jumping because they didn't take her to classes like I suggested. I am not going to have any rescue take her off my hands, I have had her for four months and we have bonded,her next home should be her forever home, if I didn't have my five dogs and could work with her she would stay here with me but my husband says five is the limit and we can't be switching dogs in and out everyday forever. I just think she has been here long enough, shes been through her heartworm treatment and has had time to adjust so I think its time for her to find her forever family, it might take me awhile but I will find that family for her. And in response to Lisar, Ginger HAS to have a fence, I know you said the rescues all want you to have a fence and the reason for that is boxers are runners,no matter if you have 1-10 acres they can run away and never look back and Ginger would. You could fence in SOME,not all. I know how expensive fencing is, we bought the fencing and did it ourselves to save money but man its alot of work and time. OK I am done rambling now but if you here of someone whom might be Gingers family let me know. As far as I know CIBR is the only boxer rescue I came across near me, I go to the dog shows and they are the only ones there.
