New and Improved Website!
 Just a note about the new website...I'm still fiddling with it, but wanted to tell everyone about some of the stuff here. First and foremost is the List of Boxers - I update the list every day, so check back often. Note that at the bottom of each entry there is a link that says "AddThis!" Click that little link to share that Boxer on your FaceBook, MySpace, blog or other pages! Membership - You do not need to register to see the boxers, download fliers, articles or read forum posts. However, if you do register, you can post on the forums, submit links and articles, create a custom profile page (especially handy for rescues, breed clubs, shelters etc) have access to the mail and instant messaging systems and other features. That's not to be snooty, its just to keep spam off the site. Articles - Hoping to add as much information as I can... feel free to contribute! Help Shelter Boxers - Print fliers to post around town. Add widgets to your website, blog, FaceBook etc. Shop - it does take time and money to keep any website going. More importantly, the CaliforniaBoxer.org logo plastered across your chest is a great conversation starter and helps get the word out! Forums - The forums are dedicated to the shelter boxers. Discussing them, getting them from shelter to rescue or shelter to adoption, helping adopters and their new boxer with transitioning, training, health etc... If you are looking for general boxer chat, a place to locate a breeder or puppy or some such, check the Links menu for a list of discussion groups with a broader focus. Its my goal to make this website the best it can be and stay focused on the prize - bringing attention to Boxers in California high-risk shelters, encouraging adoption, discouraging irresponsible breeding (and thus the numbers of boxers needing our help) and helping rescues find the resources to also help as many of these dogs as they can. Please feel free to contact me privately if:

As always, comments and feedback are always appreciated.
The Week in Boxers
Time again for the weekly synopsis of our beloved Boxe breed waiting in California shelters for permenant homes... Here's what you can do: If you're in California, or near its borders, and know someone who is considering adding a boxer to their home, please send them to the website. I am just sure that even if they are looking at puppies, some of them will not be able to ignore the faces of the young, adult and even senior boxers looking at them and hoping for a happy ending. A puppy is only a puppy for a short period of time after all.... Perhaps you or someone you know is looking to help in some way but not sure how? Almost every shelter near you would appreciate a volunteer with a day, a computer and a camera to list their dogs online. That little once-a-week thing can save lives! Breeders? Can you add one of the CaliforiaBoxer widgets to your website? You know you may not have a puppy available, or may have people contact you who do not qualify for your dogs, but who might be able to provide a home for a shelter dog. The more I see these wonderful boxers, the more inspired I am to try and get them in the Public's eye. This week was good - only 42 Boxers listed. I suspect it would be more if all the shelters out ther had the resources to list their dogs on PetFinder and PetHarbor (that's where you come in you see). Volunteering is alot like going to the Gym I am finding - you have to find your niche, you have to know what your goals are, and you are surprised by how good and energized you are after you do it. If anyone has an inclination to get involved, please contact me off list and I will do my best to connect you. Meanwhile, as always, unless you're breeding to better the Boxer, please spay and neuter your dog,
Urgent Help for 5 Boxers
 Today I added about 14 boxers to the CaliforniaBoxer.org website. While all f them need homes ASAP, 5 are in grave danger and need help urgently... Los Angeles, Ca - A1047825 to be PTS Adult Male Boxer x AB Orange, Ca - A0968655 TO BE PTS Young Female White Boxer Orange, Ca - A0920959 TO BE PTS Young Male Boxer Salinas, Ca - Annabelle - SENIOR 9 year old Female Boxer Burbank, Ca - Chester - SENIOR 10 year old male Boxer Mix Please feel free to re-post, contact rescue, save a life or whatever you can... Thanks!
17 New Dogs ;-(
Added 17 new boxers today. I think that's a record.

The Fortnight in Boxers, and Vegas, Baby!
I *think* a fortnight is 2 weeks...
Sorry its been so long since I reported on behalf of all the boxers waiting in California shelters for permenant homes. Between a sad family event and then company here, I have just not had the energy to form my thoughts into typey words lately. Hopefully we are settled down now for a few weeks. I don't know the exact number of boxers added to the list in the last 14 or so days, but my best guess would be about 110. Once again, they are spread out through the entire state, but with a large concentration in SoCal. While there have been a few seniors and a couple who need special attention, my overall impression is that most are just good, happy, 4-year-old males. Lots of optomistic faces looking back at me. Though today I added Bandit - a young boy in need of some very major medical attention. A couple of other things... I'm thrilled that a member of one of the lists has been inspired by this project and wanted to do the same in her town. I'm helping her along the way and would be happy to help others too. Las Vegas, Nv now has someone listing shelter boxers! Check out http://VegasBoxer.californiaboxer.org Lastly, on my own website, www.CaliforniaBoxer.org, I've gotten the registration bugs worked out, so if anyone tried to register before and could not, give it a try now. If we can get a networkof boxer lovers and rescuers communicating across the state, maybe we can get some boxers adopted. So, until Thursday...
The Week in Boxers
 This week saw 59 new boxers waiting in California animal sheltersfor permenant homes. By far most are in Southern California, with its large population, but there are boxers waiting from one end of the state to the other and most areas in between. On July 21, I posted about 5 boxers in grave danger due to age,or high-kill shelter situations. 4 of te 5 are still waiting. Annabelle is no longer listed. I have no way of knowing if she was adopted, rescued or put down. The others still in danger are: Los Angeles, Ca - A1047825 to be PTS Adult Male Boxer x AB Orange, Ca - A0968655 TO BE PTS Young Female White Boxer Orange, Ca - A0920959 TO BE PTS Young Male Boxer Burbank, Ca - Chester - SENIOR 10 year old male Boxer Mix and to that I will add Los Angeles, Ca - Norita ID#A1049572 Adult Female Boxer with apparent medical needs and Pasadena, Ca - ID#A254646 Senior Boxer GirlI've ordered some postcards to print with the website info - I am thinking if I can mail them to shelters and rescues, maybe it will bring some extra attention to the dogs. I'm always up for other ideas, suggestions etc, and please, feel free to jump in and get the word out! Post the website on boxer forums, free classifeds, dog parks, vet offices and anywhere else you think it might be seen. CMCK
Bumper Crop of Boxers
 It was a busy week for shelter boxers. I knew it was going to be bad when the first day of the week I added 17 new dogs. The total for the week stands at 60 new dogs waiting in California shelters for permenant homes. I see all but one of the seniors I posted last week are gone - I know the boy in Bakersfield was pulled by rescue, but I don't know the fate of the others. Only sweet Annabelle is still waiting - http://tinyurl.com/mn2wdq - A couple of new seniors were added this week, but the thing that stood out to me was how many white ones were added. I've made a couple of improvements to the website - adding the ability to share individual dogs on FaceBook etc, am working on an article section and video library - feel free to contribute. I'm mainly slanting towards helping owners keep their dogs and resources for new adopters. I'm off to Las Vegas today, but will continue the updates. You'll get one on Monday as I am bringing my posting week in line with the dog list archive week, I'll post the updates on Monday and probably post a gentle reminder on Thursdays too. You know the drill - please spay and neuter your pet Boxers, microchip them and keep ID on them. There are tools on the website to help you spread the word and help get these dogs adopted. If you want to get involved, you can do that too! Thanks for your time and continued support! CMCK
