Sierra (our boxer) up for Adoption
| January 10, 2009 | Posted by Angela under Family Stuff |
Jason and I currently own 2 dogs: Topaz (boxer mix) and Sierra (full bred boxer). We adopted Topaz from the animal shelter when she was just a puppy. She is 3 years old now.
Topaz generally gets along with other dogs. She lived with my brother’s golden retriever, Rusty, for 6 months and they were best buds. When we gave Rusty back to my brother, Topaz became very sad. We wanted to get her a new friend. We ended up adopting Sierra from a friend that was giving her away. They mainly gave Sierra away because she was super hyper and did not get along with their other dog. Their other dog was older and well trained and Sierra had more energy then they could handle.
Topaz and Sierra immediately got along. They played together and Sierra kept Topaz great company. Topaz is trained and we have tried training Sierra but it is a lot of work because she has a very short attention span. She also doesn’t have good dog manners.
The problem we are having is that Sierra and Topaz have gotten into 3 really bad fights when we were around. The fight mainly occurs when Topaz is trying to get our attention, Sierra comes running in, Topaz snaps at Sierra and then Sierra snaps back and then they start fighting. The fights have been bad and so we have to come the conclusion that we just cannot keep her anymore, for Topaz’s sake.
Sierra is a very friendly, energetic dog however, she is best as an only dog. We really love Sierra but we know it’s best that we give her to an owner that can give her the special attention she needs. Some things about Sierra:
- She can move her body in weird shapes
- She barks at moving objects even if it’s just a bag blowing in the wind
- She likes to curl next to you to keep warm
- She will not wake up to go outside in the morning because she is so lazy
- She will sit down during a walk
- She loves kids
- She’d much rather be inside than outside
- She snorts and farts when she sleeps (being honest here)
She really is a great dog and we love her. She is a good watchdog too. She looks mean but really isn’t. She is strong though! I have wrestled with her a couple of times. In regards to her medical history:
- She has all her latest shots
- She has been fixed
- She needs special shampoo because she has dry skin
- She is about to turn 2 years in April
If you are interested or know of anyone that is interested in adopting her, please contact me angela(at)safun(dot)com. You can even keep her for a couple of weeks to see if you can handle her and if not, we are happy to take her back. We just want to make sure she is put into the right environment for her.
