Boxers and Buddies

An Adoptable Dog

Pockets, 4 year old female boxer

Pockets

My name is Pockets and I have been waiting for my fur ever home since 2009.

I am a 4 yr old female boxer. I am always happy but sometimes I get too excited meeting new friends and accidently scare them. I am a very special dog in many ways, but one of those ways is keeping me from having a home – I have the dog version of Autism. Similar to canine compulsive disorder, when I am nervous or excited, I spin in
circles to the left.

I don’t understand the concept of “strangers” and tend to run up to every living thing as if I have known them my entire
life. It takes me a little extra time to get comfortable in new situations and sometimes its harder for me to learn new things.  I sometimes get over stimulated when I am out and it makes people laugh at me more than love me or consider me for a companion. It’s really sad because when I am in my foster home I am mellow and sweet. I seem much more “normal”.

The humans that take time to know me, love me. I am playful, sweet, funny, house broken and love other dogs. If you think you might be willing to save a dog that REALLY needs a special person, please come meet me, Pockets, at www.boxersandbuddies.com

There are currently 27 Adoptable Dogs with Boxers and Buddies.

Our adoption fees vary based on the pet’s age, breed, and size. Our adoption fees are higher on puppies because they are easy to place. We use the excess to be able to afford the care for our special needs cases. Vet bills on an individual dog often exceed $1000. We put between $300 and $400 into each and every dog that comes into rescue between vaccinations, dentals, shots, heartworm testing, blood work, spay/neuter, micro-chipping, and everything else they need while in our care. When you adopt a dog from us, we do our very best to make sure you're getting the healthiest dog possible and make sure all health and/or behavioral problems are discussed in detail.

If you think you wish to bring home one of our dogs, please make sure that these requirements are met:

  • You must be at least 21 years of age to adopt a dog.
  • All pets that you currently have must be spayed/neutered and current on their shots. We will verify this information with your veterinarian.
  • Female boxers will only be placed with other female dogs on a case by case basis.
  • You will be required to attend regular obedience classes with your new friend.
  • Dogs will not be adopted out as gifts.
  • All pets will be family companions.

You are now on your way to becoming a happy owner of a very special dog.
