DOGS

We just adopted one. We lost our guy ( Mopar ) about three months ago to a neurological disorder, he was 8 1/2. Our new boy ( Max, as in wedge ) is about 4. Great, Boxer only rescue we found in Phoenix. We were very impressed by their thorough adoption process, even came to the house before we were considered. We brought him home Sunday, it’s like he’s been here since day one. You’ve got a good looking pup! Enjoy that boy!

I'm glad you found him.
We feel really lucky. We didn't rule out other breed or mixes, in fact I wanted a medium size terrier. But we have had boxers before and they really suit us.
Adoption seems to be a whole world to itself now. One agency didn't think we were giving our previous dogs enough heartworm meds!(interviewed our vet!)
Then we had a woman bring a dog to our house, which proceeded to try to attack my elderly neighbor lady.
It's a shame that there are so many unwanted dogs, many of them to aggressive for the average pet owner.

Brandie playing in her pool to cool off, 98deg. And playing with our other kids in the shade.
The lady we were working with had three in mind for us. Two were still in the foster part of their program. He had just got the okay for the adoption process, he had been there just over a month. She said if we didn’t want him, the others would be ready this week. Max won us over with his overall demeanor and sweetness. I think we both got lucky. They never brought a dog to the house, we went there, it was an amazing place. Take care sir.

Yes, but Strider does not have stripes.
At first we thought he was black with the white markings.
Then we gave him a bath and in the sun you can see brown areas, especially on his shoulders.
My wife looked it up, boxers cannot be black, so I guess they still call it brindle.

Yes, after the first one we decided we would go meet the dog first.
Mine is in the middle a rescued Boxer/Lab mix

He looks a lot like our old Barlow.

Me too! (Though i would love a malinois, i dont know if i could keep up with one!)
The black and the long hair are mine. The medium hair red is my best friends. She is my step-puppy.

Malinois have an intensity that next level all the time.... You need to give them a job or they will find a job.. And you might not like what they choose... LOL... Mine was a little crazy... He was a rescue, he'd been attacked by coyotes as a puppy & when I adopted he he'd been sedated... It made him seem pretty mellow... Then the drugs wore off & the worst of his wounds healed... By that point I kinda knew he was gonna need allot of work... He was with me constantly for about eight years... Great dog, just had a few "Quirks" LOL..
