April 24, 2010... Hope has come a long ways in her behavioral class. She graduated on April 20th! I thought I would share a picture with you. She now knows sit, sit/lay, sit/lay/stay, come & wait. She also walks real well on a leash. I am working on her kenneling anxieties at home.
Hope is a very calm, beautiful loving boxer. She would make anybody a very sweet addition to their family.
April 3, 2019... It seems like a lot has gone on with Hope since the last time I sent in an update. Hope has been spayed. She and her foster brother and sister and I have moved into a new home. While doing that I needed to let someone else keep Hope until I got a fence built. That was quite the experience for Hope. She did alright at the other home until she somehow got pinned into a room. She does not like to be confined at all. Now that she is back with me she seems sooo calm and right at home. 2 weeks ago we started obedience classes together. I really think she enjoys the one on one time with me. She behaves quite well in class and is learning a lot. She knows sit, release, come. We are working on her kenneling, trying to overcome her not liking to be confined. I think Hope would make the right person a great companion. She is very loving, loyal and calm and, a very beautiful boxer.
January 26, 2010... Hope has recently been spayed and she is doing well. She has calmed down quite a bit and is really comfortable in my home. Hope and her boxer brother are getting along just fine. They like to play a lot. Hope is now completely house trained and will sit when given a treat. She is such a loving good natured dog when you get to know her. Hope is still looking for her forever home.
December 16, 2009... Hope is doing well in her foster home. It has taken a while but she has finally settled down and has started to relax. She is now house trained. She will ask to go outside to go to the bathroom. She has learned some manners, like sit & no. She has a lot of energy and needs a lot of attention. She does get along well with her foster brother. I don’t have a cat or young children, so I do not know how well she would do around either one of them.
October 23, 2009... Hope has settled into her new foster home real well. She is a very loving well mannered dog. She has quite the little personality. She gets along well with her foster brother. We are working on a few bad habits she has like wanting to nip at me when she wants attention and stealing people food off of the counter when left out by accident. She has figured out how to open a door by turning the door knob. So I have learned to turn the lock on the door knobs. She is quite smart.
