Tyson's Story

Please meet Tyson! He is a Boxer-mix who is around 11⁄2 years old. He’s neutered, current on his vaccines, house and crate trained, and is being fostered in Kenmore, WA. Tyson is ready to be the center of someone's world! He has been in foster care for over 4 months and loves having a schedule! He doesn't know the difference between a Saturday or a Monday though, so his foster parents are up every day at 5:30 am to go for a walk! Tyson is dog friendly with dogs in his pack. He even gets to participate in a monthly pack-walk and insists on leading the way for the whole group. He gets very excited when he sees other dogs, so slow introductions are important. It’ll be important for Tyson that he not live with any cats, or other animals that he could chase and act dominant toward. Tyson loves knowing what's coming next and wants to be a part of everything that you do. He is a great house and yard protector...no one will ever surprise you with Tyson around! Tyson loves to play with his foster sister but also knows how to amuse himself with a toy or antler. He is still learning how to take direction and would benefit from continued obedience training with his forever family. Tyson’s forever home wish list: a strong family and leader that can keep him in "good dog" standing; someone who is active that can take him on walks or runs; no small children though, as he doesn’t realize his size and could easily knock them over; a dog brother or sister that can match his play and stand up to him when he gets too pushy; a yard large enough to run zoomies through; a comfy sofa with pillows to make forts; a carpeted room so he can wiggle and breakdance on his back; an ongoing supply of stuffies and antlers to chew; and lastly, a family with an endless amount of love to give, and one who is ready to receive it right back.

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.
