Meet Hurley..


Its been about 2 months since Roxi died and we still and always will miss her. We felt a big loss of security when she was gone and also we lost a family member. We knew that we wanted another boxer when the time was ready, but NOT A PUPPY. I wasn't ready for the puppy thing, potty training, crate training, etc, but didn't want a dog that I was going to put down in 6 years again soon either. We looked through a bunch of breeders but they are all puppies, so my dear friend told me that she has always gone through boxer rescue and they come in a wide range of ages for you to pick from. We went online and found about 8 dogs we really liked and "Hurley" was our first choice and we had to pass the adoption form, references, back-ground check and the in-home visit first before we could look at any boxers through the rescue. This process took about 2 weeks and its kinda crazy to know you have to go through all this "Stuff" to get a "DOG", but they want these dogs to go to good, loving homes. Today we got to go meet Hurley and we fell in love with him from the moment we walked into his foster home. He was GREAT with the kids, loved on us, and everything we wanted in our next boxer. WE get to pick him up tomorrow and bring him to his new loving home!!! We are so excited to have another dog back in our lives!!!
WELCOME TO THE FAMILY HURLEY!!!

The rescue named him Carnegie, but we didn't care for that name too much so the kids couldn't decide between Harley, Hurley or Woody and its HURLEY they picked!!!
