Adopting a Dog

Shelters are great places to go to get a dog! There are also breed specific rescues all over the country. Try to search on the internet for Boxer rescues in your state, I bet you’ll find some. Dogs in shelters are there for a variety of reasons. some were abandoned, some strayed off from their owners, lost, and some surrendered due to owners not being able to care for them. Most of the time the people who work at the shelters spend time with these animals and have an O.K. sense of their behavior and won’t adopt out an agressive dog to their knowledge.

I have adopted 4 dogs, and 3 cats from either a shelter or the vet clinics that I was working at.

I’ve gotten all my dogs accept for one from shelters. they just need a little tlc to get used to their new surroundings..plus im sure you know boxers are smarrt dogs. itll be just fine.

I think it is a great idea, I have on deaf aussie from a shelter. I think all of your consures are great. I would take your child with you. go for visit’s and spend sometime with the dog outside. Watch for signs, how is it standing, where are the ears places, hackles, tail, watch for how the dog acts, And Please keep in mind all dogs can be rehabilataed, Just depends on how much time and engery you want to put into it. Good luck and I hope you find your new dog
