Boxer - Hope - Large - Adult - Female - Dog
Hi! My name is Hope. I was picked up, along with my six adorable puppies, by Montgomery County Animal Control when my puppies were about two weeks old. I was SO, So skinny, as you can see from the first pictures. I had several bald spots on me. My foster mom picked my puppies and me up from the shelter about a week later. I was so scared. I did not know if she was going to hurt me and my babies or take care of us. I ducked every time she tried to pet me, but I never, ever growled or tried to bite?.even when she handled my babies. My puppies and I were moved into a bedroom, with not a lot of space, but we had a nice, comfortable place to stay. Eventually I came to know that my foster mom would not hurt me?..it took more than a week (and a whole lot of food), but my tail finally came up and occasionally wagged. My foster mommy took me to this place called a ?vet?s office?, where he looked at me, tested me for heartworm and gave me some shots?..I was so good!!! But sadly, a few days later my puppies got sick. The vet said they had distemper. I stayed healthy, but one of my babies is very sick. But I know they are being well cared for, and that it is time for me to find my forever home. Because I had been seriously neglected, and possibly even abused, I need a very special place to go. I am extremely submissive. I have come ?out of my shell? over the last few weeks, but still somewhat afraid. However, I DO BARK at things like strangers outside the house, so, to some extent, I will be a good watch dog ? just might not do anything other than bark. I am very friendly. I like other dogs, and even like cats, but don?t think the cats like me much. I don?t have very good manners. I do jump on my foster mom, but she rarely stops me because she wants me to know how terrific I am and that I am loved. You see, she really doesn?t have time to give me much attention, so she wants what I get to be good and loving. And I am really not rough??J My skin is so much better! Barely any sign of any bald spots. My hair is so shiny!!! And I have the cutest little under bite!!! And now I am FAT instead of being so, so skinny!!!
Oh, and I am housebroken!!!! I really need a loving, patient home. I would probably do well with other pets, as I really want to play with the other pets in my foster home. I have not been around children in my foster home, but because I am so submissive, I would probably do well around children that are not rough with me.
I would so much love to be your couch potato for Christmas!!! Please look at the before and after pictures. I have come so far?..but I am not in a place where I can continue to progress. My foster mom is way over committed ? with two jobs, two other fosters plus my sick puppies she is trying hard to save?.so if you have room for me, and a big heart and gentle hands, please consider me as your wonderful Christmas present?..you will not regret it!!!
