Chance's Story

Please meet Chance! He is just a year old, neutered, current on vaccines, and is being fostered in Coarsegold, CA. Chance is a very lucky boy because he has TWO rescues who are collaborating to find his forever home and family. We are happy to be working with The House of Muddy Paws to help young Chance along on his journey. Speaking of his journey, Chance had a bit of a rough start because he began his life with Parvo. Thankfully, he survived that awful illness, and now he’s ready to get on with his life! Chance weighs in around 70 pounds, has a full natural tail, and is a very striking boy, with an out of the ordinary color. We think he may be mixed with another breed (or breeds), so we plan to get a DNA test done for him soon. His foster mom tells us that he’s a big goofball. He’s also been described as a “guy who is as derpy as they come!”. He’s an absolute joy though and liked by all who meet him. He loves playing outside but is also a cuddly fella when inside with his people. Chance is coming along great with crate and potty training. He needs a little more work on leash skills though, because he’s big and strong, so his foster mom will continue to work on this with him. Chance is dog friendly, having been tested with over 30 different dogs in his young life. He does best though with larger dogs, so no littles in his forever home please. And no cats for sweet Chance. We would also recommend only older kids in Chance’s new family because of his size and strength. Overall, Chance is quite the catch! If you think he’d be a good fit for your lifestyle, then we want to hear from you. Please send in an application today – www.mustluvboxersrescue.com/adopt.

MustLuvBoxers Rescue's Adoption Policy

Locations we serve: We are currently accepting applications from residents in Washington, Oregon and Northern Idaho (close to the WA border), and some areas of Canada. While we serve the majority of these areas, in some cases we cannot find a volunteer to home check certain areas of these states. For that reason, your application may be denied. Same Sex Dogs in a Household: Our rescue does not adopt dogs out to households that already have a dog of the same sex. This is due to increased aggression and dominance issues among same sex dogs. This also applies to dogs who are frequent visitors in your home. In some cases, we allow dogs with a 9+ year age difference to be placed in the same home. Application Types: Below you will be asked to select what type of application you would like to submit. Adoption Application: you are interested in adopting a rescue dog who is in foster care. Foster-to-Adopt Application: you are interested in fostering a dog for a three week period with the intention to adopt. If you decide the dog is not a good fit, you will continue fostering until the dog is adopted out through the standard adoption process. This process requires you to be on Facebook to interact with our support group after your application is processed. Foster Application: you are interested in providing a safe, structured and loving home for a rescue dog until they find their forever home through the adoption process. All supplies and medical expenses will be covered. This process requires you to be on Facebook to interact with our support group after your application is processed. What to Expect When Fostering or Fostering-to-Adopt: There is no perfect dog when fostering. Each dog that comes into foster care has their own unique personalities, many that just need love and care to work through undesirable behaviors. Most of these dogs have never had a safe, secure or loving home like you will be providing them. We will never ask a foster to take a human-aggressive or a dog with extreme behavioral issues. Those dogs go to our seasoned fosters or trainers. Every dog that comes into MLBR will have different quirks or issues; whether it be needing a single dog home, medical, crate and potty training, working through their fears, crate rotation, etc. Crate training a dog is not a punishment. Utilizing a crate in the home creates a safe space for the dog to decompress. Each dog will have different comfort levels, and not all are going to be social, which is okay; it doesn’t mean they’re not adoptable.
