Hi Jacob! Welcome to Pet Talk! :D

[Dorothy39]

Hello Jacob!!!! and~ Welcome Aboard.

Glad to meet you too!!!! I can almost hear the sound of your "dog" voice!!! :cool:

You are beautiful!!!!

[k9krazee]

He's a cutie!!

Soo...tell us some more about him. It looks like he's made himself right at home, how is he with Bower?

[Bronx'sBower]

Well actually he isn't with us yet, tomarrow :) I can't wait. I know he and Bower will do great. It's sad to watch him after his play dates, he doesn't want any of his friends to leave. Hopefully he and Jacob will hit it off great like he has with every one of his other friends and then he won't be so sad when playtime is over :) I will update you as soon as I get him home and I will post some pictures of them (yes with that same crappy camera:))

[k9krazee]

Oh! Well I can't wait to here how it goes tomorrow :D How exciting!

[Ginger's Mom]

Hehe, he certainly has charm. Can't wait to hear how the boys feel about each other.

[K9soul]

Oh wow, Jacob is SO handsome! Congratulations!! Can't wait to see more of him!

[Vela]

WOOHOO my favorite! congrats!

Well we have bad news :( Jacob's foster mom is working this weekend and can't bring him down. She then told me she might be able to find someone closer to come do the home check. Well she just emailed me and said she took him to a doggy park last night and found a couple that want him. Since they are closer she is going to let them have him but if something happens and he is still in her home in a couple weeks she will bring him down. We aren't discouraged because we know Jacob will have a great forever home wherever he goes. Plus we hold hope that there are a lot of Boxers to adopt and she said she would give us a high referral to the Boxer Rescue Assoc. of Michigan and other top notch boxer rescues. We are holding hope we can bring a boxer baby in here soon, if not a breeder we talk with is having a litter in April and we can wait until then, but I KNOW there will be other boxers in need of a home by then....so until then I will say good bye.

Ah.. how dissapointing. =(
I suppose it just wasn't meant to be, right?
Atleast you're still opening your hearts to find another Boxer! Jacob sure was a handsome boy, and I'm certain you'll find the prefect boxer soon!

May someone please give me a breif descrition on how to catch a stray in my backyard
:confused: :( :o :mad:

[Muddy4paws]

Thats kind of mean of the foster mum, but I guess shes looking out for the dogs best interest.

Unfortunatly ( for them ) there will plenty of other boxers looking for a home just keep us updated! :D

hello?

[Bronx'sBower]

I don't know how to catch a stray...my yard is fenced and I don't have that problem. Call AC? Do you know the animal? Is it aggressive?

It was a little upset that we probably won't get Jake, but she could have just come out and said she couldn't bring him the distance. I would have even worked out a drive deal but whatever. She is having surgery in a couple weeks and if he is still there we get him, I doubt he will though. At first she told me they had barely any emails on him, this was Wednesday. Now come Friday all of a sudden she has gotten over 20 emails about him and took him to the same park she always does and people wanted him there. I just wish she would have been honest. I have come by some very dishonest people in the past (e.g.-prev. owners of our beloved Bronx) and have grown very weary. I am sure it was just a timing thing and I KNOW there will be other dogs and other boxers...if she highly recommends me to a couple boxer rescues in michigan I am sure I will get something soon.

hello?Stop spaming up this thread this isnt a chat room its a forum people dont reply right away.
What you asked has nothing to do with this thread go and make a new one.


I hope you find a dog soon and hopefully from a rescue. Have you tried looking them up on the net to see available dogs?

[Bronx'sBower]

:) sorry I just couldn't help myself but....

Look at my baby Bower, he was (WAS) so sweet and innocent looking....what happened???!!!???!!! He starts obedience training this week and we are so excited! Well I think mommy and daddy are more excited right now :) but he will have fun I am sure. He learned the difference between right shake and left shake yesterday. It's funny he does a lot of tricks and has quite the attitude but still has a hard time listening. Can't wait to start classes and figure out why he isn't understanding and why I am not properly conveying my message/command to him. Sorry, just had to talk about him for a little bit....I haven't in a little while and he's due :)

Thanks, actually PetFinder is the only source we find useful and we have dealt with many of these rescues already. Most of the boxers in the rescue we have seen more than likely won't be compatible with our home. We need a socialized boxer that wants a friend, does well alone for a few hours twice a week and is crate trained. When we think we have found the right one for us we read further to find it's not sociable or hasn't been around many other dogs or that they haven't been crate trained-for example, Jacob slept in the bed with his foster mom and her other two dogs but in our house Bower has his own bed and his own room. It can be difficult getting a dog to crate after sleeping in a bed. Bower slept with us for a few weeks, til he pee'd the bed :) Then he got his own bed has been content ever since, he never whined or yelped. It's his sanctuary :) We will continue to look, there will forever be boxers in need of a good home. Thanks for the bit of info.
