Bodi

"My husband and I lost our first boxer to heart disease at only 6 years of age. But there was that special "boxer thing" about Daisy Mae that hooked us on the breed. As a result, we turned to Lone Star Boxer Rescue to find our next boxer. We adopted a handsome 9 year old named Bodi and immediately, he fit right into our family. Bodi amazes us with his "Tigger" leaps at the back door. He loves playing fetch, keep away, tug of war, or just entertaining himself with his squeaky toy. He also loves being a couch potato while we read or watch TV. His love and devotion to us is as if we have had him since he was a puppy. The opportunity was presented to foster another boxer, a 12 year old. How does someone give up their devoted family pet at that age, we ask ourselves. A 12-year-old boxer's options for adoption are almost non-existent but without hesitation, we leapt at the chance. It wasn't long before we couldn't imagine our lives without "Karl", and we officially adopted him. Karl also amazes us with his playfulness and puppy antics. Both of 'the boys' still enjoy their daily walks. We highly recommend adopting an older dog. They are loving, loyal, devoted and yes, fun and playful. The boxer spirit carries on into old age. These wise, senior souls deserve a loving and safe home in their "golden" years. Our adopted senior "boys" have been loyal, loving pets. Consider adopting a senior dog. The rewards are immeasurable and they will be eternally grateful. As you look deeply into a senior dog's eyes, the wisdom and deep gratitude will penetrate your heart and soul. That kind of love is a gift to be treasured."
