2014-03-22 16.02.38My name is Harley and those are my pups playing in the background.  Boxer Luv Rescue saved me and my seven puppies.  Now I’m with my foster family because there is a new preggo Boxer in town.  Boxer Luv has about 100 foster parents but we always need more, so if you have the heart be sure to apply at BoxerLuvRescue.org.

I’m two or three years old, not quite sure…and have had a couple sets of puppies.  I’ll be getting spayed so I don’t have to worry about kids anymore, and then soon I will be up for adoption.  In a few days my foster sister and I are going to get to know each other.  I’m pretty excited.  Hopefully she’s nice to me.

Dog park is so much fun. Mahoney feels like he’s flying on a cloud.

Teary eyes and a new home

I thought that I would have some more time without having to train another one, but my sucker of a daddy brought me home another brother. This little guy was a foster at Boxer Luv Rescue and got adopted. Which is usually great, but it turns out his adoptive daddy did not take the time to introduce his dog to Mahoney and the poor little guy got beat up. His mean foster brother bit his neck and his fur will never grow back in some places. He was returned to the kennels at Boxer Luv and stayed there for several weeks.It’s rare that an adopted Boxer gets beaten up like this, but sometimes it happens.

Mom and dad picked him up on Saturday to take him to a Chandler PetSmart adoption event and were going to take him back to the kennels and met his original foster mom there. There was shock in her eyes when she saw Mahoney. He was supposed to be adopted and why didn’t anyone tell her he needed fostering again. Dad could see how sad she and he were and he asked about his behavior. When he found out that he went through several weeks of training and was potty trained and a lover he couldn’t resist bringing him home. I’m sure the tears in her eyes melted his heart some too.
