DOGS NEEDING HOMES

Here you will find all the dogs currently looking for their forever homes, if you want to Adopt a Boxer, please read our Adoption notes and contact us using the details on the post about the dog

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.

ISLA
3 years old (nearly) | Female |Bobtail Boxer

Isla is a beautiful girl looking for a special home.​
​

​Isla needs an experienced home with:​
🐾No children (as we know nothing of her past)
🐾Adults at home most of the time
🐾No cats
🐾She might be OK with a doggie companion


 Location: Isla is currently in Hertfordshire.
We know nothing about her past as she was found wandering as a stray, severely unwell and handed in to the local vet by the dog warden.  Isla had severe diarrhoea when she came to us and we have been supporting the veterinary costs whilst this problem has been addressed.  No one particular cause has been established for her condition and it is now vastly improved.  We are optimistic that dietary changes are working for her.  If Isla needs any treatment in the future for this problem HCBW will meet the costs.  
 
She has put on weight and is proving to be a delight and sometimes a pickle in her foster home, a typical young boxer.  
 
What information we do have about Isla, as supplied by her foster family, where she has been for 10 weeks, is that:
  •  She has shown no aggression to other dogs and seems to be very laid back when she meets them.
  • She will chase squirrels and cats if given the chance.
  • She loves her boomer ball.
  • She has a lovely playful nature.
  • She will counter surf and will chew occasionally.
  • Isla does suffer with separation anxiety so she will need someone who will give her time to settle and build up the time being left.
  • She is young and enthusiastic as you would expect with a youngster, loves her walks out and walks very well on the lead.
  • Is currently on a hypoallergenic diet.
Isla will need to be spayed and HCBW will meet the costs. An adoption donation and a home check will apply.
For more information or if you are interested in giving Isla a home please call Angela on 07927 406989 or email [email protected].

BUDDY
16 months old | Male | Bobtail Boxer

Picture
Picture
​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

BOYO 
2 years old | Male | Boxer | Neutered

Picture
We are looking for a foster home for Boyo
​
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 kennels in West Northamptonshire

Adoption donation £400

DEXTER
3 years 5 months | Male Boxer | Fawn with Black Mask

Dexter is a Loyal, Loving Boxer Seeking a Calm, Understanding Home. Dexter is a truly special boy. An affectionate, intelligent Boxer who forms deep bonds with his people and thrives on connection. He is the kind of dog who will be by your side, quietly keeping you company, always wanting to be close to those he trusts. He has so much love to give and will make an incredibly devoted companion in the right home.

What Dexter Needs: Dexter is currently living with another dog, and while both dogs are lovely, the dynamic between them creates ongoing tension and overstimulation. We have seen that Dexter is much more settled and relaxed when he has space away from this.

For this reason, Dexter is looking for:
  • A calm, adult-only home
  • A home as the only dog
  • Owners who can provide clear, consistent structure and boundaries
  • A household that is fairly steady and not overly busy or chaotic where someone is around most of the day

​Dexter is a wonderful dog who just needs the right environment to truly shine. In the right home, we believe he will blossom into an incredibly rewarding and loving companion.

Dexter has a cleft lip and palate but does not need surgery and it does not cause any issues at all. 
​
CONDITIONS: Dexter will need to be neutered once in his new home. HCBW will cover the cost of this directly with your vet. 
​CONTACT: If you feel you could offer Dexter the home he needs, please get in touch with Donna Russell by email; [email protected]​

AREA: Essex​ |  ADOPTION DONATION: £300

WINSTON
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.
  • No cats
  • No young children
If you are interested in adopting Winston and would like to know more about him, please contact Karen via email [email protected] or on 07712 669707

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
