BOXER SPOTLIGHT: COCO III

CoCo III is an owner surrender looking for a new home.

Hi! My name is CoCo III! I am a beautiful 11-year-old flashy brindle girl that is an owner surrender due to my owner's health failing, her now in the hospital, and no one to care for me. I am a proud member of the rescue's Silver Heart Program so be sure and ask about it because there are great perks for my adoptive family! I am described as friendly, protective, nervous, and obedient! I currently live with a 9lb Mal-Shi and I mainly ignore her existence, but I do resource guard if food is around so it's important that I am fed separately. When I was younger I was attacked by dogs so a meet and greet with dog friends is important. I currently live with a cat but don't like them in my space and will bark and run at them so a cat free home would be best please. One thing I do love is people! I currently live with two kids (ages 6 and 19 years) and do fine with them! I am fearful of men when first meeting them and it takes a day or so for me to warm up to them. I am house trained, crate trained, and at night I sleep on the floor by the human's bed. If the humans must be away and I am left alone, I am fine. When outside I have good behavior and do not dig or attempt to jump fences/gates. I'm wary of doors that are not fully open but love riding in the car, going for walks, back rubs, and affection from people! If you think I would make a great addition to your home to hang my leash in my golden years, contact the rescue today and tell them you are wanting to meet Silver Heart CoCo III because I am waiting to meet you!

BOXER SPOTLIGHT: BRUNO VII

Bruno is an owner surrender looking for a new home.

Hi! My name is Bruno! I am a handsome 7 year old flashy brindle boy that is searching for my forever home with my mom Sophie V! We are very bonded and go where the other goes so it's important we be adopted together! Prior to coming to the rescue Sophie and I were living with our owner in his car after we lost our mom and home and our dad's health was failing. We have since settled into a foster home and are thriving! I have the cutest and busiest wiggle butt and will intently and excitedly watch you when you speak to me. I will get excited and am learning not to jump, am learning how to play with toys and will play with rope toy occasionally, do well with baths, love food and treats, enjoy car rides, and enjoy playing with Sophie (she actually keeps up with me) until she is worn out! I have only been around Sophie so it is uncertain if I am dog friendly beyond our bond. We have never lived with a cat but am said to be kid friendly! I have attended some rescue adoption events and am very nervous on the leash around many people that I do not know. I do not like people (kids or adults) getting in my face and need slow approaches so that I know I am safe. Because of my nervousness it would be best if I am in a home with older kids or no kids. I am house trained but hate going out in the rain and prefer a human to go with me. I will go in my crate for a piece of cheese and am quiet but I prefer not to be in it. Although I am active for my age, I am a well behaved boy and do not dig or attempt to jump fences/gates. I am fearful of storms and will go sit by the humans and tremble. If you think I would make a great addition to your family, contact the rescue today and tell them you would like to meet Silver Heart Sophie and her boy Bruno VII because we are waiting to meet you!

BOXER SPOTLIGHT: EBBA

Hi! My name is Ebba! I am a beautiful 8 year old flashy fawn lady! No information is known about my history but I'm looking forward to my forever family now! I am energetic when I am first let out of my crate, but settle quickly. I am house trained, crate trained, and leash trained! I enjoy my evening walks and have been learning house rules and manners while settling nicely into daily routines. My foster home does not have kids so a proper introduction would be needed. I happily follow my foster mom around the house and am a world champion snuggler! I am an avid squirrel chaser and would chase them up the tree if I could, so I need to live in a cat free and small animal free home. Because I have a high prey drive with the squirrels, my foster mom doesn't leave me in the backyard unattended. I can be a bit bossy and protective so it would be best for me if I was the only dog in the home or paired with a passive male. If you are looking for a well mannered, snuggly lady, here I am! Contact the rescue today and give them my name because I am waiting to meet you!

BOXER SPOTLIGHT: JIP

Hi! My name is Jip! I am a handsome 4-5 year old white boxer boy with the most beautiful amber eyes! Prior to joining the rescue, it appears I had a rough life living outside on a chain as evident by a scar from my collar, having bite marks all over my body perhaps from other dogs attacking me, and concrete wear marks from laying in the concrete alot. I have fully adjusted to living inside of a home and am searching for my forever home! I am easy going and will do whatever the family is doing or chill on my own. I am young and get excited when meeting new people and will greet them with a 'hug' but I am working on that manner! I know basic commands, respond well to correction if playing too rough, doggy door trained, house trained, crate trained, and leash trained! I currently live with two kids (ages 11 and 13 years) and am great with them, but will try to take food from them that I've never seen before to see if I like it. I also do not know my size and may accidentally knock a child over so I would do best in a home with older kids. My ideal family would be one that will be very loving and not bothered by the constant need of affection or love because I love to hug, kiss, and show affection to anyone! I live with two middle aged dogs and over time once I learned that they wouldn't hurt me and were my friends, I was fine and no longer growled or snipped. After slow introductions and I see the dog won't hurt me, I am able to build trust and become friends! I am still learning to share toys so supervision is needed if other dogs and toys are present. I currently feed separately to help me know that I will get my own food. I love to ride in the car, go for walks, give hugs and kisses, lay on the couch and bed with the humans, toys, bones, play fetch with a tennis ball, and run zoomies in the backyard! If you think I would make a great fit for your family and are patient to continue helping me learn the good life and that I will be loved, contact the rescue today and give them my name because I am waiting to meet you!

BOXER SPOTLIGHT: ESTRELLA

Estrella is an owner surrender looking for a new home.

Hi! My name is Estrella! I am a beautiful 9-year-old fawn girl that is an owner surrender due to my owner having a baby and unable to keep me. I am described as friendly, smart, protective, affectionate, quiet, and obedient! I can be picky with my dog friends. I get along great with a younger male dog that I live with and have gotten along with other younger male dogs that I hve met in the past. I'm not a fan of other female dogs or dogs that we pass by when on leash. I have lived with a cat but the cat was kept separate due to unsure of my response to him. I have seen the cat through the gates and windows, and I just watch him and haven't shown negative behavior but a proper introduction would be recommended. There are no kids in my current home, but I have had exposure to my owner's young nephew and have done well. I can be a bit strong but I love giving cuddles and kisses! I am a people person and always ready for a human friend, except when walking at night and I am very alert when I see someone off in the shadows until they pass along. I am house trained, crate trained, working on leash training, and at night I sleep with the other dog in my home in a large in-home pen. If the humans are away and I am left alone, I am fine as long as I am in my pen/crate. If left out in the house I will scratch at doors and whimper and am more peaceful in the pen with my goodies and bed. I can be stingy with my food and will block the other dog in the home from it if he gets too close. When outside I have good behavior and do not dig or attempt to jump fences/gates. I don't like continuous rough housing with the other dog in the home but love snuggling, naps, soft and cozy places to lay, walks, bath time, baby talk, peace and quiet, and people! My owner says I am a "remarkable lady" given all I went through before my current home. If you think I would make a great addition to your home, contact the rescue today and give them my name because I am waiting to meet you!

BOXER SPOTLIHGT: DAISY VIII

Daisy VIII is an owner surrender looking for a new home.

Hi! My name is Daisy VIII ! I am a beautiful 5-6 year old fawn girl that is an owner surrender due to my owner being in a nursing home and unable to care for me any longer and my caretaker cannot keep me. I am described as friendly, calm, quiet, obedient, and affectionate! I currently live with a resident pit mix and we love each other. I protect her at the dog park but I'm stingy with my food so we must be fed separately. I have never lived with a cat so it is uncertain if I am feline friendly but I do not like squirrels so a proper introduction to cats would be needed. My caretaker's 12 year old grandson has been staying over the summer and we are basically best friends! I have exceptional leash training manners, am house trained, but would need assistance with crate training manners if that is required in my forever home. At night I sleep with the human kid, on the dog bed in the bedroom, on the sofa, or on any pillow I can find because I love pillows! If the humans must be away and I am left alone, I sleep by the door that they exit. When outside I have good behavior and do not dig or attempt to jump fences/gates. Some of my favorite things are riding in the car, squeaky stuffed animals, looking into the eyes of humans, and putting my head on pillows brings me pure joy! If you think I would be a good addition to your family contact the rescue today and give them my name because I am waiting to meet you!

BOXER SPOTLIGHT: FIELDGOAL

Hi! My name is Fieldgoal! I am a handsome 8 to 9 year-old unique flashy brindle boy that is an adopted return owner surrender due to changes in my family dynamics, and my owner doesn't have the time or means to care for me. I am described as friendly, active, smart, playful, and affectionate! It is said that I am unpredictable with small dogs. When on walks, I will react to them and the few times I've gotten away I ran up to them and was curious. I have been around toddler family members and am said to be kid friendly. I have never lived with a cat so it is uncertain if I am feline friendly and a proper meet and greet would be best. I am house trained, crate trained (will rush in if given a treat), and at night I sleep on the couch, in my crate, or next to the human's bed. I have basic command obedience training and know sit, crate, good boy, down, treat, water, and off! If the humans must be away, I am ok. My owner is sometimes away for 8-10 hours at a time and there are rare times that I would bark but do well otherwise! When outside I have good behavior and do not dig or attempt to jump fences/gates. There was an instance a gate had fallen, and I helped myself to a leisure run and then came back home. I do not like small animals, thunder, or fireworks. Some of my favorite things are riding in the car, running, going for 2-mile walks, plush toys, and pushing past other dogs to the front of the line to be the center of attention! If you think I would make a great addition to your family, contact the rescue today and give them my name because I am waiting to meet you!

BOXER SPOTLIGHT: ALLIE III

Allie III is an owner surrender looking for a new home.

Hi! My name is Allie III! I am a beautiful 9-year-old fawn lady that is an owner surrender due to not getting along with the farm animals. I have a benign cyst on my chest by my right leg but I do not let it slow me down! I am described as friendly, active, smart, protective, playful, and affectionate! I currently live with a German Shephard and we get along but if there is food around, I am protective over it, so it is important I be fed separately of other dogs. It is said that I get along easier with younger dogs. I have lived with a cat previously and will chase and snap at them, so a cat free home is needed. I currently live with two kids (ages 5 and 12 years) and love them! I am house trained, crate trained, and at night I sleep on my bed. If the humans must be away and I am left alone, I react fine and am not bothered. When outside I have good behavior and do not dig or attempt to jump fences/gates. I do not like fireworks or other types of animals beyond dogs, but love riding in the car, being inside, sleeping, cuddles, and attention! If you think I would make a great addition to your family contact the rescue today and give them my name because I am waiting to meet you!

BOXER SPOTLIGHT: KANO

Kano is an owner surrender looking for a new home.

Hi! My name is Kano! I am a handsome 8 year old fawn boy that is an owner surrender after my owner passed away and the family I am with is unable to keep me due to another male dog in the home and I not getting along. My current family says I have two small bumps on my back and a large lump on my foot but it doesn't seem to hurt or cause me any difficulty in movement. I am described as active, protective, playful, affectionate, and obedient! I am house trained but have been 'marking' in the kitchen possibly in response to the male dog in the home. I do not get along with the male dog in the home but am friendly and playful with the female boxer in the home so a proper meet and greet would be needed. I am said to be kid friendly, but very rough when playing and can accidentally knock a small child down thinking the child is playing with me. My owner's nieces and nephews (ages 4-16 years) come visit and I am fine with them. I have never lived with a cat so it is uncertain if I am feline friendly. At night I sleep in my bed, on the couch, or in the human's bed. If the humans must be away from the home and I am left alone, I will behave as long as the trash is kept out of reach. When outside I do not attempt to jump fences/gates but I am curious what is under the grass and will dig to find out. I am fearful of fireworks and loud bangs but some of my favorite things are riding in the car, tennis balls, bouncy balls, treats, ear rubs, and getting attention! If you think I would make a great addition to your home, contact the rescue today and give them my name because I am waiting to meet you!

Hi! My name is Rosy II ! I am a 4-5 year old flashy brindle girl that is an owner surrender due to my current owner saving me from going to a shelter but I am not getting along with the family cat so I am looking for my forever home.

At night I sleep inside or outside and when the humans must be away, I am fine being left alone.
