11/3/11 Tater
continues to do well in his foster home. Tater is such a beautiful boxer. He
loves people and loves it when new people come to say hi. He does ok with
other dogs as long as he can be introduced on his terms. Tater would prefer
a fenced yard as he gets a little anxious on walks. Because Tater is a bit
fearful, he would really like a home with someone that understands fearful
dogs and is willing to continue working with him. He's made so much progress
since he came to AABR and he deserves a great home to keep working on making
him the great dog that he should be! Please consider Tater!

Tater
continues to do well in his foster home. He is a sweet guy, but he needs a
home that will understand his nervousness and will help him adjust slowly to
his new environment. He is currently living with several other dogs and gets
along fine with them as long as slow introductions are made. Please consider
giving Tater a home.

Tater is
doing great. Everyone that meets him says he’s very handsome. Tater came to
AABR with some nervousness and reactivity issues. After many months of
working with Tater, he has made amazing progress. It was found that Tater
likely was dealing with a lot of undiagnosed pain, possibly due to an old
injury which may contribute to some of his nervousness. Tater has been
undergoing therapy thanks to the fabulous, generous help of the TTouch
Therapist, Pam Wanveer, in Maryland. Tater loves his sessions. We think he
thinks of it like his own little doggie massage.
Tater’s foster family has also worked with him on reactive dog techniques
and training. He does much better with other dogs if he has a chance to get
to know them over a period of time. As you can see from the pictures, he
warmed up quite nicely to his foster sister, Sierra, when she was visiting
and he is now enjoying the company of his new foster brother, Diesel. Tater
is not an excited boxer. He does not need the same amount of exercise as
most boxers. He does not jump up on counters or tables or run around the
house. He does like to go on walks, but is just as happy curling up next to
whatever human or non-human happens to be available to take a nap. Tater
knows how to walk on a leash, is completely house-broken, knows many
commands, loves to get treats, and likes to give kisses, although you have
to really deserve it to get a Tater kiss. He doesn’t give them out to just
anybody.
Tater needs a family that has dog experience and is willing to continue
working on his training. He would like to go to a family without young
children. Tater could possibly go to a home with another dog as long as the
owners are willing to do gradual introductions. Please consider
opening your home to Tater.

Tater
has been in foster since April. He is a beautiful boxer, with brown eyes
that will melt your heart. Tater is looking for a very special home. He
needs a forever home with someone that is willing to work on an on-going
basis with Tater to provide him guidance and help him with his nervousness
and reactivity issues.
Tater is a loving dog, but he does not feel comfortable around
other dogs and he startles easily - so he is best placed in a home
without young children or other dogs. He might do better living with a man
or a couple where both people are committed to working with him. Tater has
made strides in his training in foster care, but it is important that he
finds the right forever home to build upon his existing progress. Tater
would be a good "project" for someone with solid dog experience that
understands how to provide guidance and regular training. Unfortunately, his
current foster family is limited on how much longer he can stay, so if
you think your home would be a good fit - please consider adopting Tater.

Tater is
making strides in his foster home. He is a gentle guy who likes to cuddle.
He does not jump around like many boxers. He is relatively calm and likes
people a lot! Tater has been working with his foster parents and a trainer
to help him with his issues around other dogs. He still gets nervous around
strange dogs, but has made a lot of progress. Tater would love a home that
is relatively calm with someone that doesn't mind him cuddling up next to
them as often as possible. Tater was surrendered with his AKC papers. Please
consider adopting Tater!

Tater is
a beautiful, sweet boxer. Even though he's a big guy, he loves to snuggle.
He'll crawl in your lap if you let him. He gets along well with his foster
siblings, but is nervous around dogs he doesn't know. He needs a forever
home that has the patience to work him through his issues with other dogs.
Please consider adopting Tater. He'll melt your heart!

Tater is
doing fine in his foster home. He continues to get along with his
foster brothers and sister.
He's pretty low energy for a boxer and doesn't need as much exercise as most
young boxers. Tater would be fine as an only dog or in a house with other
dogs. He's housebroken, eats well and likes to snuggle. Apply today
for Tater!

Tater
has been with his foster family for about a month now. His true personality
is starting to come through. He is a very sweet boy. Tater is relatively
calm for a boxer. He loves to play and wrestle with his two year old male
foster brother, but he's also just as happy to curl up and sleep. He is not
a high energy dog like many boxers. Tater can be nervous. He didn't like
being left alone when he first came to foster, but has gotten more
comfortable with that. He gets along well with the
dogs in the house, but recently started getting nervous when he sees
other dogs out on walks. Tater would benefit from a home that has the
patience to help him get over his nervousness. Tater is looking for his
forever home. Please consider making Tater a part of your own family. One
look in his big brown eyes
is all it takes to fall in love with this guy.

Tater is
doing great in his foster home. He is incredibly calm and laid back for a
boxer. He does not jump or make a scene when we come home. He is a friendly
guy that really would just like to be where you are and curl up on a pillow
near your feet. Tater gets along fine with his foster parent's two
dogs (female and male). He is house-trained and walks on the lead well. He
likes hanging out in the backyard if you are there, but if not - he's happy
to do his business and come back inside. He is not yet crate-trained, but
with his foster parent's help - he is making strides in that area. Tater has
had the run of the house when his foster parents are not home. At first, he
was very nervous and did not like being left alone. As he has settled in, he
is much calmer and can be left alone, although he prefers it if his foster
mom leaves him with something yummy to munch on while she's gone! Please
contact us to adopt this wonderful boy. Tater is such a sweety and he
is waiting for his forever home.

Tater
just arrived at his new foster home. What a beautiful boy! He is very
sweet and gentle. Tater is a bit skinny, but he has a good appetite so we're
sure that won't be the case for long. Even though he is having fun at his
foster home, after lots of moving around, Tater would love to go to his
forever home soon! We will update his page as we get to know him
better! Thank you for your interest in Tater.

Tater is a 4 year old brindle boy who is being surrendered to rescue
because his family is losing their home and moving to an apartment that does
not allow dogs. Tater is reported to be crate trained and housetrained. He
is used to having a fenced yard. Tater is currently living with cats and two
children (16 months and 10 years old). He is very tolerant with the children
and completely ignores the cats. Tater is going to be a wonderful boy for a
lucky family - apply today to foster or adopt Tater!
