TIGER (now Chopper)
I had my Boxer for at least eleven years. As most people that have had a Boxer in their lives, you really fall in love with the breed. Boozer was a loving member of my family and was loved by all. When he died, it took a lot out of me and it took a couple of years before I even entertained the thought of bringing another dog into my life. When I finally started thinking about a dog I went back to thinking about Boxers. I found Lone Star Boxer Rescue on the web and started checking them out. I checked out a couple of the young Boxers and and started the process of adopting them but both times it was too late, they had already been adopted. Then I saw a picture of Chopper..... his name was Tiger at the time because he is a brindle and a Boxer/Mastiff mix. He had been through a really rough streatch and he was stand offish but I still fell in love with him. Long story short.....I was approved to adopt him and he is a very big part of my life, I am a retired disabled Viet Nam Marine Vet and he has become my close friend and he knows I love him very much. We walk, talk, and he gets spoiled and in return he shows his loyalty and love to me and my family.
