known as Moose) - Located
and available in Montana
Bailey Is Being Uprooted
Because of His Family's Work
Schedule
Bailey is a handsome dark
brindle 2 year old boxer
with the wonderful European
“au naturel” look (undocked
tail and uncropped ears). He
is sadly looking for a new
family because his guardians
are traveling extensively
for work. They are finding
it difficult to let him go
but they know it is for the
best.
The keynote for Bailey
is PLAY! He loves to play
with other dogs and he loves
to play with his people! He
is very athletic; he lets
you know when he is feeling
frisky and wants you to
engage him in an activity.
His deep resonate bark also
lets you know when he wants
to eat or when he needs to
go out. He has typical boxer
energy and likes a good
run/walk or play at least
two times a day – best if
another dog is along to
engage him.
Bailey is very
intelligent and he has
successfully completed
formal training classes. He
follows standard cue words
well such as “sit”, “stay”,
“down”, “come” and “heel”
(for times when it is
necessary for him to stay by
your side). However, in true
boxer fashion, when Bailey
is feeling stubborn it can
take some patience waiting
for him to comply. He has no
experience with cats but he
enjoys the company of other
dogs. Like all typical boxer
play sometimes it can be
interpreted as “pushy” by
other unfamiliar dogs and
people, so playtime
introductions must be
monitored accordingly.
The perfect home for
Bailey would be with an
energetic family that will
include him in their
activities. Another canine
playmate would be beneficial
as well. Bailey is a lovely
young boy who will be a
welcome addition to a happy
household.
12/10/09: ADOPTED!
11/20/09: On Hold - Moose
Update
Moose had to get yet another
two treatments for round
worm and is feeling much
better. In addition we are
making arrangements to get
him neutered. He is growing
like crazy and has really
benefited from having 3
foster siblings to learn
from and feel secure with.
Moose is a very smart little
boy which gets him into much
mischief and keeps me very
busy.
11/04/09: On Hold
10/28/09: Meet Moose!
A
Better Life Ahead For
Little Moose
One of our volunteers came
across a young
boxer puppy that a
family was looking to get
rid of, and arrangements
were made to pick up
"Moose". We soon
learned that these people
bred their dogs and they
were keeping all of the
pups, except this one.
They did not want him.
The people were classic
backyard breeders.
Moose had luck on his
side and landed in our
rescue program.
Below is a detailed account
from our volunteer who was
Moose’s savior:
“Moose was the smallest
boxer I have ever seen.
He was just SIX WEEKS old
when I picked him up.
I was sure he had some
medical issues; something
just was not right.
Why was he the one they
wanted to get rid of?
He seemed like he either
could not hear really well
or perhaps could not see.
I could not quite figure it
out but something just
seemed odd. He was not
spunky and seemed very
restless - waking up every
hour in the middle of the
night; crying and not
sleeping well. I
assumed he was missing his
mother, too, as he was
extremely young to be
without her.
When I took Moose out to go
to the bathroom he had
diarrhea. Looking
closely I could see many
tape worm segments.
We thought it was imperative
to get him examined by a vet
ASAP. The doctor did
an exam and was astonished.
Moose had the largest amount
of round worms he had ever
seen in a puppy. This
was in addition to a severe
case of tape worm. He
was prescribed deworming
medication and also received
his distemper vaccine
earlier then usual because
we learned his mother was
not vaccinated and he was
high risk for getting sick.
They gave him some meds and
sent us on our way.
Within 24 hours of getting
medical attention and
nutritious food, I
saw a brightness appear in
Moose’s eyes. He has
really turned around to be a
saucy little ham. He
is very smart and loves his
foster brothers and sister.
He is picking up a lot of
good habits from them too.
He is still VERY much a baby
and whines to get on the bed
and curls into my neck all
night long. When he
awakes, I do too, because he
his nibbling on my nose with
his little puppy teeth.”
