Buddy's Story

**HEY THERE! BUDDY HERE, CHECKING IN!** <br/><br/>I thought it was time to tell you a little more about myself so you can decide if I might be the guy you've been looking for!<br/><br/>Let's start by tooting my own horn and telling you about my Boxer family. You see, I have some pretty impressive AKC Champion bloodlines in my family tree. My bloodline goes back generations, and I happen to be the last of that line. Because of that, I was given some health testing to make sure I was a healthy boy, and the results came back looking fantastic! So, not only am I handsome, but I've got some pretty impressive genetics behind me, too. In fact, everyone who meets me seems to agree that I'm one of the most handsome Boxers they've ever seen. Who am I to argue? <br/><br/>Now, let's talk personality! Like many Boxers, I'm protective of my people and always keeping an eye on what's going on around me. I haven't spent much time alone, but I'm comfortable in my crate when you need to leave. And I LOVE giving kisses, especially when your face is nearby. Consider yourself warned... you'd better be ready!<br/><br/>Now, I want to be completely honest. As wonderful as I am (and I have a lot going for me), I'm still a goofy Boxer who could use a little help polishing up his manners.<br/><br/>The good news? I'm already doing great with some of my training! My leash walking and heel are right on point, and I know sit and down. But I could use some practice with things like jumping when I get excited and learning to respond to the release command when we're playing fetch. Speaking of fetch, that's one of my absolute FAVORITE things to do!<br/><br/>I can also get pretty focused on things like squirrels, cats, or other activity outside. Sometimes I get so caught up in what's happening that it takes a loud distraction to snap me out of it. You know how it is when you're really in the zone? Well, that's me sometimes! I'll need someone willing to help me learn to redirect my attention.<br/><br/>There's one more important thing I want you to know about me. I've had some difficult experiences with my Boxer dad and uncle, who have picked on me over time. I think that has contributed to my being a little more possessive and dominant around other dogs.<br/><br/>Because of that, I think I'd really enjoy being an ONLY DOG for now. I'd love to have all the attention, all the toys, and all the love without having to compete for it. I did have a wonderful time playing with a female Boxer during an outing, so I may be open to the right female dog with the right personality. But honestly, having a home where I can be someone's one and only sounds pretty wonderful!<br/><br/>So, what do you think? Do I sound like your kind of guy?<br/><br/>If you're looking for a handsome, fun-loving, affectionate Boxer who will keep you smiling, give you plenty of kisses, and enjoy a good game of fetch, maybe we should meet!<br/><br/>**A meet-and-greet can be arranged once you are approved by NJ Boxer Rescue.** Please submit your adoption application at:<br/><br/> www.njboxerrescue.com<br/><br/>Already approved? Contact Barbara at BarbaraABoxer@gmail.com to learn more about me and see if I might be the perfect addition to your family!<br/><br/> **BUDDY'S PROFILE** <br/><br/>- **DOB:** March 14, 2023<br/>- **Dogs:** May do well with large, submissive, playful females<br/>- **Cats:** No<br/>- **Kids:** Ages 12+<br/>- **Weight:** Approximately 80 lbs.<br/><br/>**Love, Buddy**

New Jersey Boxer Rescue Inc.'s Adoption Policy
Thank you for considering to adopt a rescued boxer. The adoption process is outlined in the steps below. Please note, each step is contingent on the successful completion of the one before it. 1. Read our Adoption Policies than complete an Adoption Application The adoption application may seem long, but please understand each question is designed to assist in placing our beloved rescues in their forever home and to determine if the applicant is the best match for a particular dog. Our only reward is to ensure each dog is placed in their forever home. 2. Reference & Vet Checks After the initial review of the adoption Contract, a NJBR volunteer will call the references on your application. 3. Telephone Interview A telephone interview will be conducted, in order to review points on the application, answer any questions or discuss a particular dog. If the interview goes well a home visit is then scheduled. 4. Home Visit A NJBR volunteer will conduct a home visit in order to meet the family members, and other pets and to ensure that the home environment is suited for a boxer. Whenever possible a boxer will be brought along for the visit. 5. Approved for Adoption After the home visit is conducted, and of course if all goes well, you will be approved for adoption. At this point we will do our best to match a boxer with your home and in the ideal case coordinate the adoption of the dog you selected on your application. If we do not have the right dog for you and you do find a dog with another rescue group, we will be happy to share our approval information. 6. Email the Dog’s Contact Person If you are interested in a particular dog on the website, be certain to email the contact person listed in the dog’s biography. 7. Adoption At the time of adoption the following documents will be executed: Adoption Contract* – stipulating (in addtion to other contractual requirements, that the dog must be taken to obedience training unless their is a special circumstance (age or health) that prevents the dog from participating in training, Follow-up Schedule Restraint Agreement (stating the dog cannot be let off-lead in a non-fenced area) * In homes with children under the age of 12 the contract also states that the dog and children cannot be left alone un-supervised. 8. Follow Up A follow-up schedule is a part of our adoption package. We request that you keep in touch with us on a regular basis and we are always available to answer questions and provide support if needed. We especially love receiving pictures and updates on how your new family member is settling in.
