She is starting to respond to me a bit already, accepting treats from me and so on.

I know I will probably offend several people but I have no use for anyone that hurts an animal and often find myself wanting to treat them the way that they have treated the animal....Not a very uplifting attitude to have I know but I feel very strongly about animal abuse.

Anyone who is offended by your post.........should be! Takes a big man to beat on an 80 pound loyal companion. A dog needs leadership and to know who's boss, but violence gets them pretty confused about what their role in your life is supposed to be.



She is a beauty. Bear in mind, boxers are very high energy and require regular attention. And they need protection from extreme heat and extreme cold, as they are not very tolerant of either. In exchange, she will by instinct, give you love, loyalty, and if need be, protection. Sounds like you will be good to her. In turn, she will be great to you.

She was at a house. You gave her a home. Thank you.
