Let me start this thread by placing the blame on LJ Nash ;) , a fellow poster at BW. I read the great post LJ put up about a new rescue and it reminded me I had not looked at Green Acre Boxer Rescue in a long time. So I did, bad LJ, bad (rofl).

Well I was in love with the two puppies that where Boxer mixes named Mindy and Sabrina. I had some long talks with my wife and the largest sticking point (she is not a dog person, but LOVES our Jedi) was her not wanting to go through that young puppy phase again.

I had already sent in an application and inquired about the two little ladies and after that, the conversation about my wife not wanting to go through puppy pains again was made clear.

Back to the website and there he was, Moses lovicon. Now I know Moses might have others already interested in him or some other issues might occur but my wife and I sat down and discussed him and she gave the green light to go visit and check him out! I am so excited. Moses is about 3-4 months older then Jedi, a perfect playmate.

My wife is not excited over a second dog (she is still adjusting to the fact she has one and actually enjoys him, lol) but knows I do the work cleaning/feeding and training (she does some of the training also). I do most of the play with him but she plays with him every day (keep in mind I am the home maker and she has the job). She is willing to check him out and as long as she feels comfortable with him, should give the green light. WOOHOO.

I sent my e-mail to GABR and asked about him and now I am just waiting to see how it plays out. If it is not meant to be I will understand and keep waiting for that perfect second Boxer addition to the house to rescue me from only have one.

Thanks for letting me get this big news off my chest, now if it only works out.

OMG, how could anyone resist Arlo! What a handsome hunk of boxer love :D I'm just really taken with those 7 and above ;)

Good luck with your adoption process, Moses is just plain adorable. When we decided to adopt, we didn't get the first few dogs that we were interested in. Although it was a little heartwrenching at the time, I am so thankful now because we wouldn't have Baxter otherwise. I figure that everything happens for a reason :)

Good luck and please keep us posted on your progress!

WOW Eric what great news! I know that you have been wanting another Boxer for quite awhile. And a big Boxer slurp to your wife for finally giving in. I can see Jedi melted her heart!:D Please keep us posted as I for one will be following this thread very closely:D Now I'm off to your link to check out Jedi's possible sibling!

Aimee, I also fell head over heels for ARLO!
He caught my eye right away and at the end of the page was still with me!

At the stage where I am, Arlo would be my personal first pick.

Moses is absolutley adorable as well as all those boxers. Good luck, I hope everything works out and he can go to a caring and loving home. We got our second boxer about five months ago, and they love each other so much and have so much fun together. They do everything together and it makes it a lot more easy on me. I can remember before we got madison trying to keep winston occupied, he was so bored when he was by himself. We still play with both of them of course, but he doesn't drive us crazy like he used to because now he has madison to play with. Let us know what happens.

Erin, Winston, and Madison:)

Good Luck Eric!! Moses is definately a keeper and I do hope it all works out for you guys....if not Moses, there certainly seems to be several "keepers" there in my opinion.....like all of 'em!! ;) Will keep our fingers crossed for all of you!! Deb

Eric -

Good luck with your rescue venture!!! Moses is certainly a handsome boy. Would you rename him some other Star Wars theme name (or am I getting ahead of myself?)?

Aimee, Ashlie -

You can keep Arlo, did you SEE Hunny?! ACK!! What a cutie!! She's MY number one pick! ;)

I like Duke the best. I'm always the one who wants to take in the abused and neglected animals and turn their lives around...

Each one of those sweeties has a soulmate owner! They just need to get on the site and find him/her!

I know that if more people knew about rescue, they'd definitely adopt!

I can't wait to hear about your new family member!
Maybe someone else will see this thread and adopt one of those other beautiful souls!
