DISCLAIMER: Dogs have been observed while in the rescue program, and appear to be of stable temperament. However, it is not possible to test dogs under all circumstances, so caution should be used in new environments, especially involving young children. Our website is currently not up to date with descriptions. If you are interested in a rescue boxer, please fill out an online application. When we receive it, our kennel manager will contact you to set up a time for you to visit. He will then tell you about dogs that are available. |

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 |

Diamond
Diamond is a sweet older girl of
about six who needs to be the only dog
in the household. She adores people, but does not like any other dogs.
The older dogs so often get passed over, and they frequently are about
as close to perfect as you can get! Give her a chance!
If you think you might be interested in adopting Diamond, please fill out an online application. 2/25/09 |

Saphira Beautiful, shy sweet girl. Saphira was one of the worst abuse cases I've ever seen. She was tied out and starved in Sumner County. Happily, her owner was charged and went to jail ! She has gained 10 pounds, her coat is shiny, and she gives kisses and wiggles when she's happy.... which is all of the time now. She warms up to you slowly and really craves human attention. She' s healthy, spayed, and ready for a loving home. Saphira is 2 years old. She has never had a couch of her own. Do you have room on yours? |

Hollie
Hollie is a 4 year old spayed
female who was recently "rescued" from a couple in East TN. She was
tied up in their back yard on a pinch collar. The rescuer was told that
they were going to either shoot her or take her to the shelter, neither
was a good option for the dog. She had other dogs in her house, and
Hollie didn't get along with the older female. The rescuer placed her
with her mother, who has recently decided that she can no longer keep
her.
Hollie is up to date on DHLPPC, RV, and KC. Heartworm Neg. Exam was normal. No heart murmur, etc. She is a DOMINANT female. OK with cats and male dogs. People friendly. Good watch dog. Not good with small kids, as she seems intimidated by them, but older kids are ok. She is also a little intimidated by strangers. Hollie is housebroken and crate trained, although she will bark a little when first crated. She knows "sit" and "down", and is trained to the Gentle Leader leash. She did jump a 3' kiddie gate, but most fences are taller than that. She loves to ride in the car, and has a special place on the couch. If you think you might be interested in adopting Hollie, please fill out an online application. 5/3/10 |

Dakota
Pretty, small and very loving,
Dakota came to us as a flood victim. Her family lost everything and had
to move to an apartment where she could not stay. They were
heartbroken and turned to us to help find this lively 6yr old a new
home. Happy, healthy and housebroken. Good with kids. Fawn in color -
petite and lovely. Not a jumper, just follows you everywhere.

Penny
This
is Penny. She is 5 yrs
old as of July the 4th this year. She live in Baxter, TN.
She is a beautiful fawn. She has been through obedience training
and has a certificate. We have also taught her many tricks
including to roll over, sit, stay, spin, beg, play dead, and talk
(which is more of a very light howling). She has always been very
friendly with me and my husband and our two little girls.
However, she does not get along with our other female dogs.
Penny
is up-to-date on her
vaccinations. She is a very loving dog. I just don't
believe she should be housed with other dogs. She needs a good
home. One that will give her a life she deserves.
If you are interested in adopting Penny, please contact her owner at 931-787-7333 anytime or e-mail at bradtabs0325@yahoo.com. Please do not contact MTBR about Penny, as we have no further information about her. 7/30/10 |
