Well until I went back and read the 'Boxer' bit in the sub-heading, I thought it was maybe very much in the wrong forum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trinabean Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 (edited) Diva and Minimax.... What state is the person in Pers? There are Boxer Rescues in some states (a very good one here in WA). Or are you looking for one that a breeder is looking to re-home? There is a Doler active in the rescue forum who may be able to help match up a rescue if that is of interest? Edited to add: The rescue contacts listed in the rescue forum give details for Nalacleo in NSW and Dagmar Scherer (Boxer rescue network). Not sure if Nalacleo is still active, but Dagmar definitely is. I was in contact with Dagmar recently. :) Edited March 27, 2013 by trinabean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aphra Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Boxer rescue network on Facebook always has links to Boxers needing homes. Generally some dogs of mature years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trinabean Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Boxer rescue network on Facebook always has links to Boxers needing homes. Generally some dogs of mature years. For the person/situation you descibed Pers, I think an older dog sounds like a better idea than a young one. One who is used to smaller dogs would be ideal. A young dog might be a bit too full-on for her current little dogs too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mita Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 There's also the over-puppy stage boxers being retired to pet homes by registered breeders. Currently, one boxer in SA, female, loves to play ball with the kids, still very young. http://www.dogzonline.com.au/breeds/mature/boxer.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trinabean Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 She sounds sweet Mita. :) At 13 months she'll still be very puppyish. I think many boxers keep a puppy outlook for most of their lives. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone in the neighbourhood loved him, no matter what he did. He had not one mean bone in his body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trinabean Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Oh, Sam :) Their looks are decieving, mine loves kids, other dogs, squeaky toys, vet nurses and life. Not a mean bone in his body either. Terrible guard dog. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mita Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 (edited) Oh, I know it's O/T, Trina. But the Sam stories were legendary. He'd go for walks with my dad who'd have our small dog on a lead. Sam would politely take the lead himself. He was a devil for finding a way out when his owners were at work. He'd swing by the corner store & help himself to a packet of potato chips from the display near the door. When the meat truck was delivering to the butcher & had ramp down, Sam would pop in and help himself to a bit of meat. No one ever dobbed him in. People would routinely take him back to his house & put him in his yard. Soon after, Sam would pay them a visit to thank them. As far as he was concerned, that was now a life-long friendship. Sam believed life was full of adventures and friends. Gotta love boxers. :) Edited March 28, 2013 by mita Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trinabean Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Cheeky Sam, I can just picture him Mita. :laugh: Persephone, I'm not sure if your friend uses facebook, but this is the link to the Boxer Rescue Network that Dagmar is involved with: My link :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
