Adopt a Boxer (short coat)
Hoskin - URGENT FOSTER HOME NEEDED! the Dog needs a home
FROM HOSKIN'S FOSTER FAMILY: Hoskin has finished our 2 week shut down. He plays really well with toys by himself. He sleeps in his crate while we are at work & at night. He is still adjusting to our food, but his coat is much softer! So far, he growls to let us know he needs out in between scheduled times. Hoskin is great with Redford since Redford tends to be more calm. We limit time with Dexter since they try to charge at each other (two alpha male personalities). Hoskin is "on alert" outside. He is extremely fearful of cars, which makes me think his leg was broken from being hit by a car. He does well walking on a leash, but we have only been on our quiet street. He is very fearful of strangers (as neighbors have been out while it was potty time). He does not let his hurt leg slow him down at all. I would suggest a home where he is the only dog or with a submissive female and no small children. His handler has to show Hoskin who is boss. He is a cute wiggle butt and loves to be petted with belly rubs and snuggle time. He is a great dog that just needs continuous training that I'm sure will come in time with trust.
Hoskin's foster family will continue to work on his trust and insecurity in certain situations :)
THE LATEST: Hoskin has been with us for 6 1/2 weeks now.
URGENT/UPDATE: We are in URGENT need of a foster home for Hoskin. He is about 4 years old and completely vetted. He is currently fostering with two older Boxer boys who he has had a couple of scrapes with but for the most part has been good with them. Hoskin seems to be a "one person" dog...he trusts and is loyal to one person in the home. He has not been around kids or cats. At this point we would not place him in a home with kids under 18. Hoskin is currently located in Paxton, IL. Please email Lori at [email protected] for more information. Thank you!
