IMPORTANT INFORMATION, please read:
Any dog coming into HCBW is firstly matched against homes on our waiting list. If there is no match, we advertise here and on our Facebook page: HCBW - Boxers Looking for Homes. ALL applicants will require a successful home-check to be completed before adoption is considered. Please speak to the committee member listed if you are interested in one of the dogs below.
DENZEL
2 years 2 months | Male Boxer | Red with Black mask
|
Denzel is a lovely sweet boy. He is friendly with everyone and loves a snuggle on the sofa. He can be excitable, but with the right calm leadership he settles and can relax.
He will need a home where someone is around most of the time, and can work on his separation anxiety. A calm home that is fairly quiet with not too much going on so that he can learn to relax and relinquish responsibility. He will chase cats. He can travel in the car - he is anxious to start and will then settle. He is ok on the lead, he can pull but is correctable, he will need work on his recall. He's been good with meeting other dogs in the vet reception, and he's been great with strangers, and with kids (although maybe a little cautious sometimes), and he's been good at the cafe. He can get overwhelmed with too much too soon, but if you take things slowly and respect his boundaries, he is fine. He is a very sensitive boy and will react to the situation he is in, he can be a handful at times but with a confident, patient handler and with clear, consistent guidance, and boundaries, he is quite happy to follow.

BOYO **in foster, under assessment**
2 years old | Male | Boxer | Neutered
Boyo needs a calm home with: 🐾No children 🐾Calm adults in a quiet home where someone is around most of the time 🐾No other dogs; he would be best suited to being an only dog. |
Boyo is a beautiful red and white 2 years old Boxer, who is neutered and fully vaccinated.
He is good with other dogs when out, but he will need a pet free home as he's not used to living with another dog. He will pull on the lead, but when there's no distractions he can walk nicely. He does suffer with separation anxiety so will need someone who will give him time to settle and build up the time being left. Boyo will need time to decompress and settle into a new home, so a patient and calm household would be best. If you are interested in adopting Boyo, or you can provide a foster home to allow him to decompress, please call Julie 01508 218471 or email [email protected]. Boyo is currently in foster in Bedfordshire Adoption donation £400 |
WINSTON *in foster*
5-6 years old | Neutered | Male | Boxer cross
|
Winston is a lovely boxer cross who was originally handed to HCBW 2 years ago as a stray. He’s neutered and we suspect that he is now probably about 5 or 6 years old.
|
He is generally a very good natured boy who travels well and can be left on his own for a couple of hours once he is settled into his new home.
He is very quick to learn - especially when treats are available! He’s a strong boy but he has learnt to walk well on a lead and his recall is good, although once he knows you he’s very loyal and never really goes very far from you anyway. At home he is very chilled and loving, but he does like to have the odd half hour throwing toys around and playing, and he loves to do Zoomies round the garden! He needs a pet free home where someone is prepared to continue with his training – definitely NO cats because he will chase them. We are preferably looking for an adult only home, or one with dog-savvy older children/teenagers.
A satisfactory home-check will need to be done (unless we have done one recently) and you will need to be able to travel to meet him. Winston is currently in the West Midlands. Adoption donation: £150 |
BUDDY **in foster**
16 months old | Male | Bobtail Boxer
Buddy needs an experienced home with:
🐾No children 🐾No other dogs. 🐾No cats |
Buddy is a 16 month old red and white bobtail boxer.
He has come into rescue because, although his family loved him, circumstances mean they were not able to give him the time, attention and training he needs. He can be nervous when meeting new people, especially men, and he will usually bark on first meeting, but is won over quite quickly with treats. He also displays his nervousness by barking at other dogs, especially if they bark at him first. He is a strong boy, his lead walking skills will need some work, and he will need to be taught about coming back when called. Buddy needs an experienced home that will work with him to make him feel secure. You will need to be prepared to work at his training to improve his walking and social skills, and to build up his confidence. If you would like to know more about Buddy or feel you could offer him a home, please contact Julie Semmence on 01508 218471 or email [email protected] Currently Buddy is in kennels near Kettering, North Northants where you would need to go to meet him. Buddy will need to be neutered once he's settled in his new home and HCBW will fund this. Adoption donation £400 |
