Bishop Boxer & American Staffordshire Terrier Mix Billerica, MA

OUR BOY, BISHOP, IS DISAPPOINTED EVERY DAY WHEN HE HAS HAD NO ONE TO ASK FOR HIM! It's hard to even imagine that he would be unwanted because he is such a loving, obedient and precious boy!

If you're looking for a dog that's already trained and comes with continued training help. If you're looking for THE GOODEST BOY and a wonderful addition to your family.....put in your application at: https://diamonddogsrescueinc.com. We have an online application available.

Bishop is the epitome of "a dog is a man's best friend". He has an attentive disposition...looks for direction and wants to be praised and loved. He wants to please you. He is happy just to be near you. He is playful when you want him to be. He is ready to chill on the couch when you are ready!

Bishop came to us from a shelter that was packed...over packed, really. And he was one of the residents brought in as a stray and there the longest. That meant he was on the next days list for being euthanized.

When I saw his sweet video that was sent to us asking for the "favor of a rescue for this worthy dog" we knew exactly what we had to do. And rescued he was!

That was in August....and let me tell you about how rescued dogs like Bishop are all still waiting for someone to notice them. To care for them. To WANT them! The shelters are full, the rescues are full and competition for "ordinary looking" dogs is overwhelming. They are just another of the faces people shuffle through while looking for unique! They are hoping for you to READ about them and GET TO KNOW THEM, not just select them based on looks! And so they wait...and they wait....and they continue to wait.

Bishop is FULL OF LOVE AND KISSES....and my heart is just hurting for him. NO ONE has asked for him or shown any interest in him. Could it be that he's just like every other mix you see abandoned? READ ON.....cause he's different. He comes to you with a full training program and lifetime consult for his owner.

So, as Bishop waited we watched a SMART sensitive dog become bored and restless while he waited in boarding. And we knew for him to have his best chance at adoption he needed to be ABOVE the competition. He needed to look different. He needed to BE different.

Bishop's Program for inboard training was with Jeff Coltenback. You can learn about his trainer online at:

Since then he has gone to one of our best foster families and is residing in MA. He is thriving in a "home environment" with three foster canine siblings and an experienced dog handler

"A rescue's journey- Meet Bishop"

Bishop comes to you fully vetted, current on all vaccines, microchipped and neutered. He is heart worm negative. He's around 50-55lbs. Our trainer said we can't figure out his breed mix. Maybe a little shepherd, shar pei, lab, little pit but he plays like a boxer- very "handsy"
