Boxer - Medium - Adult - Male - Dog - Basil
Description
CBR is a volunteer run, 501(c)3 non-profit organization serving North and South Carolina. Our Boxers come to us from shelters, humane societies and directly from owners. They enter into volunteer foster homes throughout both states and live indoors with the foster family and other pets. Each Boxer receives a complete physical, immunizations, sterilization, heartworm test and treatment for any illnesses or diseases. We evaluate temperament to ensure that each Boxer we rescue will make a good family pet. These evaluations are achieved through living with the dog and watching him/her interact with children, adults and other pets. All of our Boxers are tested for aggression issues and any other behavior problems. Each dog learns basic house manners and is crate and house trained. We do not accept nor place dogs with known human aggression issues.March 2, 2009... Basil was a good mother hen to Cherokee, his foster fur sister, yesterday, when it was cold and raining. After every walk, and they were back in the car, he licked the water off Cherokee's fur and helped her dry off. He is such a sweet boy. March 1, 2009... Basil is a happy, sweet boxer, around 6 years old, who has made himself right at home with us. He has put on weight the last few weeks, and is almost ready for his heartworm treatment. Basil appears to have severely limited peripheral vision, and bumps into things sometimes, but usually can tell where he is going. This means he will need a little extra help with his new family, but it doesn't seem to affect him that much. He will look at me soulfully, to read my expression, and likes to stand and hug me. Basil is delighted with his fur sister, Cherokee, and they love to box together. He has tried to go after the neighbor cat several times, so he might be best in a house without cats. I have corrected him 'Cesar Milan' style, and he was very attentive, and wants my approval. The first night I made popcorn, Basil came right up to me and demanded his share. He loves to lie on the bed and the couch, but is also happy on his dog pillow. He is adamant not to be left in the back yard. He must have been left out with a previous owner. Most of all, Basil is a lovebug who just wants love and affectionAnyone interested in a CBR dog should read our Views and Policies and, if in agreement, fill out and submit an application. During the processing phase, all references will be checked including vet and landlord (if renting). As long as there are no negative references and the application does not contain any information contradictory to our policy, a homevisit will then be scheduled. After the homevisit, the applicant is either approved to adopt, approved with contingencies or denied. At this point, we begin the process of matching your family with one of our boxers. Our standard adoption fee is $250.00. Mixes may be less and puppies may be more.
