Puddles's Story

Please meet Puddles! She is 7 years old, spayed, current on vaccines, and is being fostered in Stanwood, WA.<br/><br/>Puddles is a free spirit who loves to cuddle and be loved. She will let you know when she’s ready for a pet or a belly rub, and she’s loyal to the core. She loves her people and is even fond of kids.<br/><br/>Puddles gets excited when meeting new people like a lot of Boxers do, but she’s very well behaved and doesn’t jump up on them; if she does get overly excited, a quick “off” command does the trick. She’s a good listener and responds to basic commands very well. She knows sit, stay, down, and bed. She’s a smart girl, so it will be easy for her forever family to teach her even more things.<br/><br/>Puddles can be dog selective so being the only dog in her forever home will be ideal. She has a high prey drive as well, so a home with no cats or other small animals will be necessary. Puddles will need a strong and experienced handler since she wasn’t socialized in her previous home. Because of this, it’s been difficult to take her on walks while in foster care, so if walks are important to her forever family, she will need some work in that area. She loves car rides though and would make a great copilot for road trips.<br/><br/>Puddles is potty trained and while she is also crate trained, she does so well in the home by herself when her foster mom is gone, that there is no need to crate her. She doesn’t get into anything and just enjoys a nice snooze. This girl loves to run zoomies in the tall grass and play fetch either in the house or outside, and she’s always up for a good game of tug-of-war. Puddles loves to be asked for hugs and she’s completely happy and content having evenings on the couch watching TV with her foster mom. What more could you ask for?!?<br/><br/>Overall, Puddles is great and quite the catch! If you think she would be a good fit for you, please fill out an application, which you can find here – 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.
