"The Twins" - July 21, 2010

 

These two handsome boys are best friends and spend each day playing and following one other. In the past they both had fear based issues and problems with other dogs and have now bonded together because of these common issues. Their foster parents believe that they help each other and would prefer that they stay together.

 

 

Willie

“The one eyed wonder”

 

Willie is a five year old super sweet boy. Willie came to Boxer Rescue as a stray who was quite fearful and unsure of his surroundings. He would growl randomly, cower and shake. Over time and with patience and love these signs went away and his confidence grew, so he was placed in a home. Willie has now come back into foster care as he had some issues with the male in the house. He is displaying signs of fear once again. His foster parents are working with him and his confidence is improving daily. Willie has been is the same foster home both times as has not had any problems with men there.

Willie is obedient and knows a few commands, his leash manners are improving. He loves to play with his squeaky toys and to cuddle with his foster parents. He loves going for car rides and long bike rides with his foster dad. He loves his foster brother, Roonie, in fact they are inseparable. Willie needs an experienced home, one that is patient and loving where he can continue to be nurtured into the wonderful boy that he is.

 

Roonie

 

Roonie is a three and half year old healthy, loving boy. He was rescued from an abusive home by a fellow boxer lover. Due to the horrific environment he had been living in, Roonie had developed a number of fear based issues, and as such Boxer Rescue was contacted.When he first arrived, his foster family was told that he hated men, other dogs and was afraid of everything! Roonie has been in living with his foster family for the past seven months and has been making great progress. He loves his foster dad, and naps with him every day. He is no longer fearful and his confidence has improved.

Roonie is perfect at home, he listens very well and is extremely cuddly. He loves toys and playing with his foster brother, Willie. He wears a basket muzzle outside of his foster home which has helped him learn to calm himself down and to be patient. His leash manners are improving, but he still has some issues when he sees other dogs on his walks.

Roonie needs an experienced calm home, with a family that understands the importance of structure and routine and can continue helping him in his progression.

 

Included in their adoption fees will be a consultation done by behaviorist, Allyson Harder with Dog Behave. If you are interested in either of the twins or both please contact their foster mom Elizabeth @ 780-450-6917 or 780-906-4951.
