Available
for adoption thru
Genesee
Valley Boxer Rescue
"
Rachael"
This
dog has been adopted but has not yet completed the two week "trial
period" in it's new home. Should the placement prove to be a poor fit for dog
and/or family, he/she will be moved to the AVAILABLE section on the Available
Dogs page.
- 12/10/00 - Rachael has come
back into rescue - the adopters were nervous of her rough play with their
young daughter. She would do better in a home with older children
or adults only. Rachael does well with other dogs after working out
the pecking order. She likes to be the boss and would not be the right
dog for a household that already has a dominant dog! Also no cats for
this girl!
She is extremely sweet and cute! Due to the overwhelming number of
boxers in the rescue program, Rachael is currently being boarded at our
vet's kennel. Everyone there loves her and she is allowed to spend the day
in the office! But she really needs a home of her own or at least a
foster home for the short term.
- 8/28/00 - Rachael is doing
great in her foster home! She gets along well with all of the other
dogs and loves to play with them - even shares her ball! We have had
her to the vet's and she is now up to date on all medical needs. The
vet has estimated her age to be between 3 and 4 years old - and while he
suspects she is spayed - there is no way to tell for sure without performing
surgery. We have decided to take the vet's advise and just wait to see
if she comes into heat.
She has free run of the house when we are home and has excellent house
manners. Not a single accident! She sleeps on a dog bed next to
our bed at night - but she really would rather sleep with us. It is
obvious that she was once someone's pampered house pet and has reverted
quickly back to that role. When we have to go out, she willingly goes
into her crate and doesn't make a peep!
Car rides to new and exciting places are one of her favorite activities.
She makes friends quickly wherever she goes and is extremely well behaved -
although does get a bit frazzled when in the same room as a cat!
Rachael is scheduled to go for a trial visit later this week! Keep an
eye on the website for further updates.
- 8/22/00 - Rachael is a very sweet 1.5 year old brindle female with cropped ears and a
docked tail. She loves to play with balls, and will entertain herself for hours if you give her one. She knows sit and walks well on a leash. She is
housebroken and crate trained, but she would prefer not to be crated. She is a dominant dog, and would probably do best as an only dog. She should go
into a home with no cats. We will post more as we get to
know her better.
