Sweet Boxer Boy out of time, needs a foster home..

[krazd_kat]

Anyone have space to be a foster home??
Before I started doing rescue, I never would have believed how many boxers and boxer mixes actually do wind up at the shelter...

also has a Boxer-mix he is just beautiful, laid-back a real sweetie, and he has such a gentle soul. He is due to be euthanized this Wednesday, don't know what time. He has a sponsor and she will pay for his vetting if someone will save this boy..............I wondered if you might be interested?? Or know of someone who maybe interested in Toby. I don't mean to appear pushy but there are just so many Boxers and Boxer-mixes in need at the moment, I don't think he has much of a chance so thought I would broach you.

MEET TOBY, A HANDSOME YOUNG PUP IN NEED OF IMMEDIATE ADOPTION/RESCUE, THE SHELTER IS FULL AND HE IS OUT OF TIME!! HE IS HIGHLY ADOPTABLE, HE JUST NEEDS TIME, SOMETHING HE HAS VERY LITTLE OF AT UNION COUNTY, SC.

It is sad how many do end up at a shelter. I guess people don't understand that boxer have a lot of energy and need to play. My boxer boy was a hellion as a puppy but now he is a total cuddlebug.

I wish I could save them all but I am dealing with my own new hellion right now. Seriuosly he is a naughty monkey.

OMG. I'm new to this thread and new to the whole fostering thing. We have 2 inside cats and a lab mix who is just a year old. She is crated during the day b/c she has seperation anxiety and tears up the house when left by herself. Can you give me more info on this and the puppy. I don't understand why they would put down a pup? We got our dog at the animal shelter and they said the pups are adopted fast. I guess fostering is to see how the dog is before adopted??? What if the foster wants to adopt later?

I can tell you this I fostered 2 kittens and fell in love with them...ONe got adopted and the other one I adopted. Just because your a foster parent to an animal doesn't mean you can't adopt the one that is in your care or any other one that the agency you foster with has in there care. Some places like smawl or paws might even give you a little cut on the cost if you adopt the animal that is in your care from them (paws did it for me with 2 cats I adopted from them).

Most shelters euthanize, it doesn't matter on the age. This particular shelter is full and they will euthanize the one's that have been there the longest, or the one's they think are least adoptable. According to the volunteer, they have boxer's and boxer mixes coming out their ears.

Some shelters euthanize every week almost every animal in there to make room for the next batch.

Normally when someone fosters, you take an animal into your home and raise it in a family environment, meanwhile the rescue group is trying to find it a permanent home. It's not unusual for a foster parent to fall in love with their foster dog/cat and want to adopt it (I call it failing Foster 101 ). Shoot I adopted one of my fosters before I ever started doing this.

I'm new and not sure how to PM. Can you tell me which group you are with and where to get more info on becoming a foster.
Is it too late for Toby? Would I have to go to SC to pick him up?
