GRACIE Gracie was found as a
stray. She is fawn and white with a
nearly totally gray face, and is between 9-11 years old, by my
vet's guess. This girl has a beautiful show crop and may have been a
show dog. She knows basic obedience commands, is thoroughly
housebroken, and clearly has been accustomed to sleeping on furniture -
she did not hesitate to get on my bed, and sleeps there now. She gets
along well with other dogs, including the female boxers in the house,
and is in quite
good health for her age, with the exception of some skin tags and one
marble-sized, non-malignant growth on her vulva.
This dog shows no signs whatsoever of ever having been mistreated - does not flinch from quick movements - and likes both men and women, and is calm and loving with my 2 and 4 year old grandchildren. If you have ever considered adopting a senior boxer, you couldn't find a better one than Gracie! UPDATE - Gracie is now thoroughly embedded in my household and is no longer available for adoption. However, we are leaving her information and photo on the website so people can see what special dogs we get into our program. Once you let a senior boxer into your life and your heart, you won't be able to let her go! FINAL UPDATE - I did, finally, have to let Gracie go. She became more and more feeble and it became obvious that she was no longer enjoying her life. I had her for nearly two years, and I am so grateful to have been able to keep her in a loving home such as the one she must have known before coming into rescue. I am sad she is not with me, but would not trade those two years to avoid the sadness. 2/07 |

Lizzy
We
believe Lizzy to be about
6½
years old, fawn, 53 lbs., and a wonderful pet. This is why she is
so great - She smiles! Literally she does. The kids in our
side walk neighborhood take her for walks and just want to hang out
with her. She is gentle and can also be very playful. She
loves playing fetch with her many balls. I give her bones weekly
and she smiles and wags her tail. I hear a silent "THANK
YOU."
Lizzy is housebroken and spayed. She plays fetch, gets excited when you sing to her, loves outside baths, and if someone wants a pet to dress up, she loves it. She gets along very well with other dogs. She loves to ride in the car, knows "sit", and walks nicely on a leash. Lizzy has brought a lot of joy into our home and we hope the same for another family. If you are interested in Lizzy, please contact Amy or Jeff at jeff.trull@comcast.net 4/28/08 |

Petunia
Hi - my name is Petunia and I
am a 2 year-old, spayed
female Boxer mix (we don’t know who daddy is). I am up to date on my
shots and worming which apparently is supposed to keep me healthy -
OUCH!! I am house and crate trained and absolutely LOOOOOOOOOOOVE
children and other dogs. I have grown up with my present family since I
was a itty bitty puppy of just 6-weeks old. My family is moving and
they can’t take me with them and it breaks their hearts in half to give
me up. I was supposed to go to another family member, but sadly he died
very suddenly - gosh I miss him.If you want one awesome pup, I’m the gal for you. Don’t be shy, give my family a call so they don’t have to worry about me. I am going to miss them, but I would love to learn to lick another face. Please ask for Ben or Rechelle with any questions about me at: 423-765-0734 (home) or 423-863-8399 (cell) 2/10/08 |

JAX
Please refer to my ID ## when you ask about me. ID#A033009 My name is JAX. I am a female, brown and white Boxer. The shelter thinks I am about 8 years old. I have been at the shelter since Mar 26, 2008. I was surrendered to the shelter by my owners, and I am up for adoption. I need a new home ... soon. I have NOT been spayed, so I will have to see a Vet before I go home with you. They will make all the arrangements for that at the front desk when you get here, and then you can pick me up at the Vet's office when the surgery is done. My adoption fee is only $80 w/ approved application, and that includes my first shots, a heartworm test, a rabies shot voucher for $11, a spay surgery voucher for $32, and my transportation to the Vet. Please contact Rutherford County PAWS Animal Shelter (615) 898-7740. Do not contact Middle TN Boxer Rescue for more information about Jax, as she is not in our program. 3/30/08 |
