New Boxer Fan in Florida

[JR]

Hello! I new to Boxer World and new to the growing list of Boxer fanatics! I recently adopted my first boxer from Boxer Rescue and have totally fallen for the breed! What a fantastic dog, baby, child, playmate, (ect, ect, ect). I have a hard time imagining how this little girl (between 1 and 1.5 yrs) could have ever ended up in a shelter.

I'm trying to learn how to operate this....did my baby's profile show?

I think it's really great that you decided to get a Boxer as a pet, but it's even better that you adopted one from a rescue organization. We are definitely going to do that next time - I can't think of a better cause. Good luck with your new baby! There's lots of great info posted on this site everyday that can really help out people that are new to the breed.

Welcome! I also think of all the Boxers in need of homes and can't believe some do not have a loving home. You will enjoy this board; addictive as it is.

Welcome to the board, JR.
I too do not understand how boxers can end up in a shelter. When I was in Los Angeles, I had the opportunity to visit LA Boxer Rescue and there were around 40 boxers. Two of them looked old but still very playful. I hope they could find a family to adopt them.
