Boxer - Medium - Senior - Female - Dog - Rosie
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. Well, Rosie had a very eventful morning. She slipped out of her collar and ran away! Just about gave me a heart attack! Fortunately, she's safe and sound...animal control picked her up so...BIG RELIEF! Other than that, Rosie, Legend (my other Boxer), and I went to Knoxville, TN for Memorial Day weekend. That is a very long drive(about 6 hours) with two Boxers in the backseat but they were great! Rosie LOVES to ride in the car, she was perched on the center console the whole way, just looking at the mountains! She's a great girl, very sweet and laid back, but if given the chance...she will run away...and fast! March 5, 2009...  Rosie’s leg is all healed!  The fur is almost all grown back too.   She has been doing great and has really adjusted to living with us.    She has become a very happy frisky girl, walks well on the leash, gets along just great with Max and Maggie, goes to her dog kennel on command and never has an accident. January 13, 2009...  Rosie was in A LOT of pain for the first days after her surgery but, fortunately, this has begun to subside.  Occasionally she goes down the steps holding the rear leg up but overall seems to be doing well.  She has managed to find a way to lick at her leg incision even with the E collar on.  We have to watch her very closely!!  Despite this, Rosie's incision continues to look better every day! PATHOLOGY REPORT:  Mass on rear leg was a Mast Cell Grade II with good margins.  Mouth tumor was benign.  No further treatment necessary at this time.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.
