Boxer - Medium - Adult - Male - Dog - Sunny
Description
* { font:inherit; } 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. Sunny is doing well.  He is definetely going to gain some weight here.  He loves treats!  He is GREAT with our kitten as you can see from the pictures.  He is very playful and has a lot of energy.  We are having to work with him a little in regard to playing with Reven, my 3 year old son.  He is only playing, but will knock him down and gets right in his face clumsily.  He is house trained.  No accidents inside since he has been here!! July 14, 2009...  Sunny has arrived is foster care and is doing great.  He has been good with all of the people he has met.  He also gets along with the female boxer and kitten in his foster home.  Sunny seems like a great guy.  Sunny does has some stiffness in his hips due to a previous hip surgery that didn't take.  CBR will have to have this addressed once funds are raised.  Sunny does not seem to be in any pain but he does have some difficulty going up and down stairs. This is what the shelter staff had to say about Sunny: This guy breaks my heart. Sunny is such a kind, unassuming, gentle soul who patiently lays in wait as people walk past his kennel hoping someone will stop by and say hello. He immediately caught my eye on July 3 as he was the only dog not going wild and crazy as I approached the kennel area. As soon as I walked into his kennel, it became immediately apparent why he was quietly resting in his igloo. Sunny cannot physically jump up and down and act like a tightly spun spinning top. As we have come to find out in bringing him into our local vet, Sunny is the victim of a expensive, botched hip operation. Sunny can gingerly walk at a slower pace and does not appear to be in any pain. What will really get you about this dog is how regal, proud and accepting he is. We walked for about 15 minutes and he was such a joy to be with! We would stop periodically and he would nuzzle into my shirt and his whole rear area would just quiver with joy. His docked tail went round and round and brought such a huge smile to my face. Sunny had two nose to nose encounters with cats as we made our journey and he was such the gentleman with both cats. He would smell the cats and then quietly walk away. Our vet feels his condition can be 'repaired' with another operation so we are hopeful we will have a taker who is willing to put Sunny back together and give him the life he deserves. Anyone 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.
