Boxer puppies and dogs in Salaberry-de-Valleyfield, Quebec

My name is Xolo, I’m an almost 3 year old boxer mix who was born in a shelter in Mexico and have spent my whole life there with all of my siblings and 60 other dogs so I’m more comfortable with dogs than with people. I would do best in a home with only women as men's voices and presence scare me. But that’s my past, let me tell you about my present! I currently live in a Foster home with two other dogs and have lived with a few others as well. I’m great with other dogs and am Extremely submissive, but if the dog is smaller than me, they need to put me in my place, or I can try to push my limits with them. I’m looking for someone to help me get over my severe fear of people; if I know and trust you, I’m putty in your hands, but if you’re new to me you’re automatically scary. I’m still uncomfortable with the man I live with and would do best in a home with only women if possible. I shouldn’t be in a home with any children as I’m terrified of people in general, but children and their unpredictability in particular. I’m known as being the joker of the house and they call me Mr. Wiggle Butt sometimes; can you guess why? I’m smiling all of the time and I can wag my tail from side to side, ambidextrously, or like a helicopter. I’m exceptionally intelligent and have picked up many tricks quickly and in a short amount of time. I need to live with other animals; dogs in particular, but I can live with cats as well. I would like to live with a dog that can teach me the ropes and show me that humans aren’t so bad after all; like my very own support dog. I’m skittish at first, so I need to be in a home with a securely fenced yard, as you may not be able to touch me much in the beginning. I do best wearing a harness and leash at all times at first, so that you can get a hold of me without having to chase me. I’m looking for a family that has the patience to give me the time to come out of my shell, but also push me outside of my comfort zone. I love taking walks and that helps me trust you, but I need to be walked with a harness and double leashed; to be sure I can’t get away, even if I become terrified. I love to play a game my foster Mom calls “Got your nose”; but in my version I will put your entire nose in my mouth lol. I loooooooove giving kisses, I’ll lick your hand, face, feet, pants, socks, you name it, I have been told I have very limited personal boundaries. I also like to “boop” you with my snout and sometimes you may be startled with a boop in your behind, because that’s how I say “hi, I’m happy to see you, pay attention to me”. Sometimes a dog takes a little more time to open up, you may see them showing more and more of their personality over the course of the first few days, weeks or even months! We don’t know all that they’ve been through before they were rescued, but they are so forgiving and full of love and it’s worth every tough moment in the end. Developing a trusting relationship with your rescue dog is the most important thing. Stability, patience, positive reinforcement and love are the most important things! All of our rescue dogs are vaccinated, sterilized, microchipped and de-wormed. Mon nom est Xolo et je suis un boxer mixte de presque 3 ans. J’ai vecu toute ma vie dans un refuge au Mexique avec mes freres et soeurs et 60 d’autres chiens, alors je suis plus comfortable avec les chiens qu’avec les humains. Je sera mieux dans une maison avec juste des femmes car les voix et presence d'hommes me fait peur. Mais c'est mon passé, laissez-moi vous parler de mon présent ! Je vis actuellement dans une famille d'accueil avec un autre ami à quatre pattes à la recherche d'une maison Furever également ! Je vis aussi avec un chien âgé plus petit et j'ai déjà vécu avec un autre chien de grande race. Je suis super avec les autres chiens et je suis extrêmement soumis, mais si le chien est plus petit que moi, ils doivent me mettre à ma place, ou je peux repousser mes limites avec eux. Je cherche quelqu'un pour m'aider à surmonter ma grave peur des gens; si je te connais et te fais confiance, je suis du mastic entre tes mains, mais si tu es nouveau pour moi, tu es automatiquement effrayant. Je suis toujours mal à l'aise avec l'homme avec qui je vis et je ferais mieux dans une maison avec seulement des femmes si possible. Je ne devrais pas être dans une maison avec des enfants car je suis terrifiée par les gens en général, mais par les enfants et leur imprévisibilité en particulier. Je suis connu comme étant le farceur de la maison et ils m'appellent parfois M. Wiggle Butt; pouvez-vous deviner pourquoi? Je souris tout le temps, je peux remuer la queue d'un côté à l'autre ou de manière ambidextre comme un hélicoptère. Je suis exceptionnellement intelligent et j'ai appris de nombreuses astuces rapidement et en peu de temps. Je ne suis ici que depuis quelques mois maintenant, mais je sais que je vais m'habituer de plus en plus à vivre dans une maison avec le temps. J'ai besoin de vivre avec d'autres animaux; chiens en particulier, mais je peux aussi vivre avec des chats. J'aimerais vivre avec un chien qui puisse m'apprendre les ficelles du métier et me montrer que les humains ne sont pas si mauvais après tout ; comme mon propre chien de soutien. Je suis absolument un chien de garde et j'ai besoin d'être dans une maison avec une cour bien clôturée, car vous ne pourrez peut-être pas beaucoup me toucher au début. Je fais mieux de porter un harnais et une laisse en tout temps au début, afin que vous puissiez m'attraper sans avoir à m'attraper. Je cherche une famille qui a la patience de me donner le temps de sortir de ma coquille, mais aussi de me pousser hors de ma zone de confort. J'adore me promener et cela m'aide à vous faire confiance, mais j'ai besoin d'être promené avec un harnais et une double laisse ; pour être sûr que je ne peux pas m'enfuir, même si je deviens terrifié. J'adore jouer à un jeu que ma mère adoptive appelle "Tu as du nez" ; mais dans ma version je mettrai tout ton nez dans ma bouche lol. J'adore donner des bisous, je vais te lécher la main, le visage, les pieds, le pantalon, les chaussettes, etc., on m'a dit que j'avais des limites personnelles très limitées. J'aime aussi te "booper" avec mon museau et parfois tu peux être surpris par un boop dans ton derrière, parce que c'est comme ça que je dis "salut, je suis content de te voir, fais attention à moi". Parfois, un chien met un peu plus de temps à s'ouvrir, vous pouvez le voir montrer de plus en plus sa personnalité au cours des premiers jours, semaines ou même mois ! Nous ne savons pas tout ce qu'ils ont traversé avant d'être secourus, mais ils sont si indulgents et pleins d'amour et cela vaut chaque moment difficile à la fin. Développer une relation de confiance avec votre chien de sauvetage est la chose la plus importante. La stabilité, la patience, le renforcement positif et l'amour sont les choses les plus importantes ! Tous nos chiens de sauvetage sont vaccinés, stérilisés, micropucés et vermifugés.

POPPERS is an absolute sweetheart, brimming with affection and love with the sweetest, gentle "old soul" type personality. He can come across like a couch potato but he loves to run and wrestle with his friends. When he was in the kennels he did gain some weight, which now he is more active he is losing them - but it is important for his family to be aware to keep him active to keep those dangerous pounds off. POPPERS is a top favourite with everyone he meets. He is a hard chewer of toys and anything other than tough chewing toys he will destroy - red kongs are like scooby snacks to him lol He has been around adults of all ages, shapes and sizes, small children and people with special needs and was gentle and loving.  He is responsive and is happy to show anyone he meets lots of love. He does need an active family who will ensure he gets all the exercise, both mentally and physically that he needs to live a happy fulfilling life. We are looking for families that have the lifestyle that the dog needs to lead a healthy, both mentally and physically life, who can afford a GOOD quality food, toys and treats and understand the importance of veterinary wellness checks.

Interested families are required to complete our application process and once approved schedule an appointment to come to the rescue to meet and take home their new best friend.
