Critter Details

Locke came to ABR in March with a badly broken front left leg.  He had surgery to repair it and was a trooper through 12 weeks of crate confinement, on-leash bathroom breaks and very .supervised snuggle and play times.  He still limps a little, but that is improving every day.  Locke is such a happy, good-natured boy that he wasn't fazed by any of that.  His nub wags nearly constantly and he can't seem to control his wiggle at all.  He gets along just fine with the two small dogs and one boxer in his foster home, and he wants to play with all the dogs when he goes to Adoption Day.  He seems to believe that cats are vermin, though, and it's his job to eradicate them. Although Locke has some gray on his nose, he has plenty of energy for wiggles, occasional zoomies and play time.  He sometimes plays with toys, sometimes likes to watch tv, and always likes to have his head rubbed and hear that he's a good boy.  He is silly and sweet and would be an easy addition to just about any home.Locke is house trained and crate trained.  He prefers that his crate be covered so he can rest without being distracted.  He does pretty well on leash except that there are so many things to smell, and he is determined to sniff every spot thoroughly!  He is crated during the work day and at night, but has not shown any destructive behaviors and would likely be just fine un-crated.    If you're interested in fostering a dog, please fill out the Foster Application http://austinboxerrescue.com/rehoming/adoption/foster/  If you're interested in adopting a dog, please fill out the Adoption Application http://austinboxerrescue.com/adoption-application/Our volunteers will work with you to find the best dog for your home.
