Girl -
Joy
Bliss
Jewel
Gem/Gemmy
Trixie - Bringer of Joy
Adelle - Kind


Boy-
Asher - Happy
Gil/Gilmore - Joy

Willard/Will - Brave

How about...

We rescued our Boxer last week & decided not to use her previous name. We all voted on Piper b/c it is just such a darn cute name for a irresistably cute little girl!
However, I thought S'mores was a great name b/c she is brindle and has the graham cracker (fawn) chocolate (brindle) and marshmallow (flashing) !

That is cute!! Keep them coming guys......we are going to do an evaluation this week on what appears to be a serious neglect case:
http://www.petharbor.com/detail.asp?ID=A524889&searchtype=ADOPT&rows=10&imght=120&imgres=thumb&view=sysadm.v_animal_short&fontface=arial&shelterlist='ALBQ','ALBQ1'&where=type_dog&location=ALBQ1

Her name is Karma......and I think I am going to keep that name. The vet tech at the shelter said the owner surrendered her cause "she wouldnt eat and is sick" but the vets found nothing and she has gained weight in the 2 days she has been there. We are scrounging up a foster home right now for this girl. Lets all say some prayers! Karma needs to come to us!

I am compiling a list of the names given.......perhaps other rescue's are too ;) We tend to use the same names too often...and it is great of all of you to help us out with some cool boxer names!

Ok all, we have such a hard time thinking up names for the rescue babies that come in. Usually we just pick the same old things.

Here's a thought...I know a few rescues do this : on their rescue website they have a 'name a dog' button. People can submit a name for a small donation (like a dollar, or 5 dollars...). You raise money AND get new name ideas!

I really want to do that, but am still trying to get our "webmaster" to do that. :D he takes a bit of finessing! Although, I can't complain too much, he is the pres of the rescue, does everything I can't do, and pays for the website out of his own pocket. ;) I think I have sent him to Legacy, Mid-Michigan, Green Acres, and Florida Boxer Rescues about 50 times for ideas....But I would love to do that!

hmmmm......perhaps an email to Legacy is in order.....find out how they did it. ;)

I love that idea. I'm going to bring it up in our rescue group.appicon
