CHESTER reserved

​Chester is a white boy, 9 years young and is a much loved family member. Very sadly serious illness in the family means he needs a new home. Currently he is living with extended family in the Bury St Edmunds area but this is a short term arrangement. Chester is neutered and vaccinated . He is a really good boy and has lived with children. Cats are a complete 'no' as he will chase. He walks well on the lead and is friendly towards fellow dogs. He can be boisterous meeting dogs when off-lead but if they reject him he just turns away. He has never shown any aggression. A typical male [sorry guys] sometimes he has selective hearing. Chester is a lovely chilled boy who enjoys company and we are looking for a home for him where he will not be left for long periods home alone. As an older boy he is eligible for cover under our Oldies Policy which will be explained in full if you adopt Chester. Home checks will apply. For any enquiries or offers of a home please contact Lorraine Harvey on 07760 178529 or Lorraine.harvey@hcbw.org.uk

​DOTTY

Dotty is a lovely 10, nearly 11, year old white girl who is coming to us as her family are moving away from the UK.  It has not been an easy decision as she has been a wonderful family pet to 2 young children, and is currently perfectly happy to share her house with a friend’s male Staffy.  She reacts to the cat next door and would chase it if she got the chance, so we are looking for a cat-free home!

As with lots of Boxers her age, she has a few health issues, such as a skin allergy which is managed with diet, and a few lumps and bumps.  In 2017 she had an operation to remove a number of epuli and a sizeable lump (possibly cancer) from her lower jaw.  Unfortunately this has started to grow back and, whilst she is still eating and drinking OK, it can cause her some discomfort if she cuts it while playing. Otherwise she is full of life, and a very friendly girl.

Despite her family’s best efforts, her recall has never been good, and she can be very determined (she pulls!!!) when she is walked on a lead, but she is generally friendly to dogs she meets when out.

She would like a home where she will get lots of love and attention as she is used to having someone around most of the time, but there is no problem with leaving her alone for short periods.

If you think you could offer Dotty a home, please get in touch with Karen Kerby either by email: karen.kerby@hcbw.org.uk or phone: 01869 321010 or 07712 669707.

We will consider re-homing Dotty as a ‘forever foster’, so that HCBW would cover her vet bills.  

MISSY

​Missy is a 7 year old Boxer cross, who has been in HCBW foster since last August recovering from a very complicated cruciate operation (actually she ended up having 3 operations).  She will always have a slight limp so she doesn’t need much exercise, and her weight needs to be constantly managed to prevent excess stress on her other ‘good’ back leg.  She is on a monthly dose of Cytopoint for a recurring skin allergy which is now, finally, under control.

Unfortunately, Missy doesn’t get on with other dogs, so when she is taken for a walk she reacts to any dog within a ½ mile radius, and is constantly on the lookout (under every car and behind every bush) for cats to chase.  She is a very loving girl when she gets to know you, and enjoys nothing more than a cuddle on the sofa.  She is fine to left for a couple of hours, as long as the bin is out of sight and there’s no food left out on the worktops!!
​
Ideally she needs a calm, adult only house, with a large garden, and someone who understands that going for a walk is not a relaxing experience for her.

If you think you have the right home for Missy, and the time to spend with her, please get in touch with Karen Kerby by phone: 01869 321010 or 07712 669707, or via email: karen.kerby@hcbw.org.uk
Missy is currently in Hertfordshire.

DOGS IN OTHER RESCUES

The following Boxers are not with HCBW, however, we are posting up their profiles here to help promote them and find them new homes.  Please contact the rescue noted for more information about these dogs.

​MARY

A  permanent home is needed for this beautiful boxer dog.

MARY was saved at Christmas from the streets of Turkey, without doubt she would have died a slow painful death from starvation if not rescued.

After being in foster for four months in Turkey we can now see how beautiful MARY is with a lovely nature to go with it, she is a typical boxer fun, friendly, loving soppy & loves nothing more than cuddles and kisses. She loves the bed and loves the sofa just like every boxer.
Mary gets on with some dogs but not all, she doesn’t like little dogs and doesn’t like cats.
Mary is a small but a strong boxer 4 year old, with lots of energy, she would be too boisterous around small children but for ages 13 upwards would be fine.  

Mary has arrived in the UK and is in foster in the North of England.  She is living with other dogs and is settling well.  
​
She  needs a cat free/small child free home. A dog free home would be ideal, but she could live with a male chilled out dog in an experienced boxer home that would be willing to introduce slowly as she is just so excitable.

​If you can offer Mary a permanent home please contact Carol Holbrook on 07967030443
