  • Description/Info:: Chief and his mom came to us after we were notified by a worker that knew the family saying that there were two dogs that needed our help badly as they had been in a trailer at that point for three days with no food or water. The very next morning our volunteers arrived to collect them and with the help of the police a few hours later we had them in a cool vehicle on their way to our vet for medical treatment.
    Chief and his mom were in a trailer and it had been 30 degrees outside with no fans or air conditioning - the volunteer could hear them crying through the window that was open a smidge.

    Once in foster we found out that because he was so starved for affection Chief started resource guarding the people showing him attention from Sable and we have tried working with this, but his foster has to leave August 7th and now the hard decision to put them in different homes for safety has to be made.

    Chief is truly a loving dog and just wants to make up for all the attention he did not receive in the past - a no dog household is what is best for him now.

    If you believe you can offer him a great home please fill out an adoption application on our website at www.boxerrescueontario.com

    Please note that when Chief had jumped on his mom during an attack the foster grabbed Chief quickly, but had her face close and was bitten - Chief did not know it was the foster and quickly jumped back.
