Meet Yoda

ADOPTED on 12/4/21!

* UPDATE 2/17/20- YODA started having bad head tremors and had to stop the Trazadone. He has regressed with the little progress he had made with anxiety. Prayers for Yoda. He is in a great Foster Home while they work to help him.

*Update 1/18/20- YODA, age 4, is trying Trazadone for anxiety and Foster taking it slow and hoping it will help as his SEPARATION ANXIETY IS SEVERE and will not go away. He will not just be able to take an anxiety pill and be okay, He doesn't do well when his caretaker leaves him and that is the issue that will continue and why looking for the right home. We have had Yoda almost 2 years in rescue and keep working to improve his behaviors as a great boy. We will keep trying to help him.

*Update 12/23/19- YODA is 4 years old. He has had some regression with his separation anxiety. He has damaged walls and doors when left even for a few minutes without a human. Foster consulting again with Vet to see if another med can be tried as none have worked in the past. He has to have a human with him AT ALL TIMES or he gets so stressed. He doesn't tolerate a crate. He loves people and other dogs and has to have a big dog to play with. He is just going to take the right home and we will be picky where he goes. We will update if there are changes.

YODA, 3 years old, 60 lbs., is a gorgeous, sweetheart, and smart. He has a lot of high energy and look at how he jumps in the one picture! He has made a lot of progress in the ONE YEAR we have had him in rescue. However, he has the worst severe separation anxiety we have dealt with. We know that Yoda is an awesome Boxer but he "has to be with someone all the time". We know that is not always possible. We have checked on being a service dog but told he was too old. Crating has been a real struggle for him. He bent up and got out of the strongest $700 indestructible crate and caused wall damage bouncing the crate around. He has also caused injury to himself in a crate. Medications and CBD oil have not helped. If he is not crated, then he is destructive, counter surfer, chewer on furniture, nervous pacing, and so much anxiety. He can not be left outside alone. He needs 6 foot privacy fence and can't be left outside without supervision. He will go in his crate to eat with the door open. He destroyed a room at doggie daycare being left there not too long. He doesn't find comfort in other dogs with him when human leaves him, but has to have other dog(s). When Foster Mom has to leave she has come home to a lot of damage and things pulled down and chewed up. He is with a Boxer that he likes, but still damage.

He is very active and loves to play with small and big dogs. He is not aggressive and needs a companion buddy his size in his new home. He plays well with the dogs at doggie daycare. Kids need to be 10 years and older with large dog experience.

No cats for Yoda as bad incident with a cat and he has a strong prey drive on squirrels. He is going to take the right home for him and willing to work with him as a severe case. He is in a Foster Home in Cabot, AR so would like to find someone nearby to work with foster on adjusting to a new home. We know it is going to be very hard to find the right home for him but we are still looking.

Adoption fee is $250.00. He is neutered, UTD shots, rabies, microchipped, fecal/heartworm negative, and on heartworm prevention. Fenced in yard required. Go to How to Adopt for our Requirements and online Adoption Application at www.BoxerRescueOfTexarkana.com.

We adopt in AR, TX, LA and OK in areas where we have support. Please let us know if you are out of this area and where you are located to see if we could consider your area.
