WHY DOGS END UP IN RESCUE


People often buy puppies on impulse or with insufficient appreciation of the time, money and patience required to properly raise and care for a dog. These dogs often end up in rescue through no fault of their own.

ABOUT THE BOXER

Boxers are energetic fun loving dogs. They can be great companions but not everyone is up to the challenge. Boxers are very smart but don't always see a reason to "perform". They are glad to learn a new behavior and do it once or twice but really, repetition is so boring! If you don't keep them entertained then they will find something to get into. Usually something you would rather they didn't!
