Chaya is a 3 yr old fawn female (spayed) boxer. She is a very small boxer, only around 40 lbs. She is very friendly. I adopted her 1.5 yrs ago because she needed a home asap - I was her 5th home in less than 1 year. She is originally a puppy mill dog, bought in pet store, then put in boarding at the age of 8 months, and the owners did not come back for her. 

She does well with soft, positive training techniques, treats and patience. Once she knows something, she knows it! She looooves her ball! 


She is an anxious dog, nervous of strangers at first, but if she is given the chance to smell them, then she is ok, and once she knows you...all bets are off! She will lick you to death! If you are home with her: no house soiling. When not there: she can hold it up to 4 -6 hours and stays in her crate. When home with her, she’ll ask for the door when she needs to go. 

Chaya has a sensitive tummy, I currently feed her Acana, also had her on Eagle Pack and she did very well. She has done very well on a good balanced raw diet.

She would do best in a home with no dogs or a small-med quiet dog that respects her space. Because of her anxiousness, she does best with calm and social dogs. I have 3 cats at home and she is ok with them.

She sleeps with me, and can’t be cuddled enough!!! She will move with me to make sure she is always cuddled. She NEEDS human contact, and lots of it!

With humans she does not protect food or anything, but does protect her food from other dogs. So I feed my dogs separately. I can prepare the food and have them both sitting right next to each other, I can give them treats one next to each other. She doesn’t protect toys, bowls, beds.

A loving tribute to Wilbur

Boxer Rescue Quebec would like to send our sincere condolences to Nigel and Patty Dawson and family for their loss of Wilbur, a BRQ adoptee and a much loved family member. He could not have had a better family! Here is a tribute that they wrote for him:
 
"We will always remember the first day of Wilbur arriving at our house in July 2010 and our 4 year old daughter running off crying because she was scared of the new addition to the family, Wilbur. It took Wilbur less than a day to convince her he was going to be her best friend, as he also has been to us all. Every day he has been ours and the girls friend, playmate, protector and loyal companion.
 
I will never forget the girls squeals of laughter as he played with them in the garden, his eyes moving back and forth on walks checking where the girls were and the people he didnt know, stretching out in the lounge with one of us as we relaxed and watched TV, his reluctance to go for a walk in the rain and how he hated getting wet, futile attempts to chase squirrels, his tolerance for energy infused (and sometime irritating to him) small dogs, his suspiscion of larger dogs (unless they were female), his fake mean posturing in front of cats but most of all, his unconditional love for all the family.
 
Unfortunately Wilbur was diagnosed with a tumour on his heart in early March and was given approximate 2-4 weeks to live but together with the help of Joanne from BRQ, we made sure he enjoyed his last few weeks with us as much as he could. On April 10th 2013, sadly Wilbur passed away with his human mum comforting him.
We will all miss him so much
 
Nigel, Patty, Bianca, Ana Lucia and Alexandra"

Little Ralphie and BRQ in need of foster homes



This is little Ralphie. We got an urgent message on Thursday that he needed to be rescued from a high kill pound ASAP or else he would be put to sleep in a gas chamber. We are so lucky that one of our volunteers was available to rush to the pound to save him and that he was able to be placed in a foster home right away. 

The only reason this worked out for Ralphie is that we had the resources - volunteers and an available foster - to save him. Otherwise this sweet soul would not be safe with us today. Boxer Rescue Quebec is in urgent need of more foster homes that are capable and willing to take in boxers at a moment's notice. Currently all of our foster homes are full and we do not want to turn away another Ralphie.
