Memphis's Story

Hi my name is Memphis! I’m around 4 years old and was found wandering around the streets in Washington state. I am recently neutered, current on my vaccines, and I’m being fostered in Ravensdale, WA.<br/><br/>I spent about a month at the Whatcom Humane Society and the staff there were great. I had a lot of fun with them, and they helped me recover after my neuter surgery. Since then, I’ve gotten to meet new dogs, new people, and even some kids while in foster care. I love meeting new people as long as they approach me with love and aren’t wearing any big scary hats.<br/><br/>I walk pretty good on a leash and am always up to doing whatever you wanna do! I’ll follow you just about everywhere, especially since I don’t really like to be alone, at least not in a car. At home, I tend to complain a little in my kennel but then give up and decide to take a nap. Sometimes I’ll just go into another room and lie down by myself too. I’m not a big barker or troublemaker though; mostly, I just like to be where you are and see what you’re doing.<br/><br/>I’m a pretty picky eater and am not really food motivated, although I have checked things out on the counter a few times but have never taken anything. I’m just really curious about everything!<br/><br/>Unfortunately, I want to chase the family cat, so it’s probably best that my forever family doesn’t have a cat or any other small animals. I do really good with most other dogs though, especially females. I really love my foster fur-sister, so I’m keeping my paws crossed for a home with a fur-sister for me.<br/><br/>My hormones are still adjusting to my neuter, so I am still working through some mild dominant behaviors like humping or marking areas when human males are present. I can’t help it though, not until my hormones level out. My foster moms think it’s more silly than anything but they have me wear a belly band to keep the marking to a minimum.<br/><br/>Besides those few things, I’m a pretty chill, playful, and goofy guy who has just learned the world is bigger than I thought. So, I hope I get a family who can be patient with me, who will work with me and my mild quirks, and help me learn all of the things I need to know to be the best version of myself possible. I also hope my forever family likes to have fun and go for a lot of walks!<br/><br/>My foster moms say I’m pretty smart too! I already know, sit, down, and wait; and I’m kennel and dog-door trained. Also, as I mentioned, I’m pretty good on a leash as well.<br/><br/>Long story short, my foster moms say I’m an all-around good boy with a few quirks who’s just waiting patiently for the perfect family to come along and take me home forever. If you think that’s 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.
