HUGE praises to you Nana for adopting more mature Boxers by all means. We find it SO hard to adopt out the more mature (rather than senior <grin>) Boxers. We have 6 in rescue right now, the youngest being around 6, and the only one anyone ever even asks about, but then a couple who applied passed on her as she has had bilateral ACL surgery after she came in to GOBR and people are afraid she may get arthritis. sigh::: So might they for all they know, even without such surgery. smh... Wish we could take in more seniors, but we have to also take in adoptable dogs by all means. Where do you live Nana. I will say they aren't all on our web site right now. As you may have caught a little over a month ago that we lost our webmaster, Sherri, who had been a friend of this group's owner, Mary Rue, all her life, and a long time friend of mine as well. So, we are trying to find a new webmaster to donate updating our site and all. sigh:::

My 2 boxers are rescues. They are seniors around 10 now, I have h a d them just over 3 years now. They were skinny and sick when I got them at the all. When I was getting them the all didn't charge me for Yukon, they didn't think he would live only a very short time. Nowhere isn't skinny. Vet said is still in the healthy weight range but can't gain any more. He is full of life, healthy and very spoiled. So is his sister/litter mate Gemini. I lost my other boxer a year ago. I got here when she,Bella, was 6 and was 13/14 when I lost her. I am still hurting. I am just making the case for rescued boxers and especially rescuing the seniors. I am keeping my eyes open for another senior I think it is about time. |

Geez, not sure if this was a backyard breeder or a breeder that shows and all, but for sure unethical!!!!! How did you connect with this breeder? Buyer beware by all means. Had you checked references on her, not just HER friends?

I like having the group. While I have been remiss, it is good to have the semi privacy to be able to talk and be open and honest. Like, about breeders who steal money. is thee anyone in Alabama who would be willing to act as my agent in a case? For health reason, I cannot travel. This woman stole nearly $1000 from me by selling a puppy which conveniently died at 5 weeks. Her opinion was, health 'guarantee' notwithstanding, I was just sol. Seems, in her world, if you pay for a puppy at 4-5 week you then own and are responsible for the dog at that young age. And should 'things' happen to young puppies, like, they mysteriously die, well, since she already has my money and her 'policy' is that she doesn't refund and, besides, it was my dog that died. Just as if the dog had been my dog who, at 5 YEARS old had died. Except of course, I had never even shared the state with this dog. Besides the fact that it was already my dog and her policy was not to refund, well, her mother was a widow (of 5 years) and her brother was dead (car crash 7 years previous) and these tragedies entitled her to keep my money, as well…. I want my money back and any legal headaches and financial costs we can create for this little immoral, unethical creature are bonuses. Any takers?

I do not post much, but I prefer groups rather than face book Penny, Roger Angels Oakley and Britania Marie and Chumlee 6-10-09 5-2-11 6-23-14 As much as I like Facebook, I want to still see these Yahoo groups continue, especially this one. Someone needs to let FB people know these Yahoo groups are available for those who want to share things on them as well. |
