 All puppies will be required to attend puppy class or basic obedience class.  These classes will teach you the proper way to train and get the best out of the puppy and will make for a well rounded and social dog.  If you are not willing to attend these classes with your new family member, PLEASE DO NOT APPLY FOR ONE OF THE PUPPIES.  We have boxers from 6mo and older that may be a better fit for your family.

Pearl's Puppies 

Boxer Mix Puppies

  WE ARE NOW ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS ON THE PUPPIES

1-8-09:  The puppies are 7 weeks old and growing fast.  Two of the females are being adopted next week.  We have 1 remaining female and 4 males.

Males: 7 weeks

Females: 7 weeks

                                                                                                 Adopted

 12-31-08 The puppies are 6 weeks old and they will be available for adoption at 8 weeks.  We have 4 females and 4 males.  The puppies are currently being wormed and receiving their first round of puppy shots. They will need 2 more rounds of boosters, worming, and a rabies vaccination by the time they are 16 weeks.  All puppies must be spayed or neutered by 6 months.  A puppy is a big financial commitment.  Check with your veterinarian on vaccination and spay/neuter costs before applying to adopt one of our puppies.

Adoption Donation $100.00

12/13/08:  The puppies are really growing and starting to eat solid foods.

 12/7/2008: Pearl has been a very sick momma. A couple days after delivery she developed Mastitis in three of her glands. Pearl became very lethargic and quit eating and drinking. She spent a couple days at the hospital on IVs and can no longer nurse her puppies. The three glands that had Mastitis have since ruptured. She's on a couple different antibiotics and pain medication. We also have to clean out her ruptured gland daily. As for her puppies, the day after her first day on IVs two of her pups became very ill and were unable to be saved. The remaining 8 were put on an antibiotic and have to be bottle fed. They appeared to be doing well until this past Friday. All 8 pups were taken to the vet and were put on a different antibiotic. We are hoping all the new antibiotics for everyone will kick the infection in both mom and pups. We are desperately in need of donations for the vet expenses that have accumulated. So far Pearl and pups have over a $1,200 dollar vet bill. Please help Pearl and her pups survive!

Nov. 19 2008: Pearl delivered 10 healthy boxer-mix puppies.  Mom and pups are healthy and doing fine.  The puppies will not be available for adoption until late January 2009

11-13-08:  Pearl came into rescue very underweight, possible broken leg that turned out to be an old injury that was untreated and caused a severe bacterial infection that raged through her system.  The day she was pulled from the shelter, we had her at the vet for xrays, hince the bacterial infection and the heavy meds to cure it.  A week and a half later she was scheduled for her spay, the vet gave us the news that she is close to delivery and the foster mom needed to prepare for PUPPIES.  We believe the puppies will be coming this weekend, with all the problems this poor girl has faced, we would appreciate warm thoughts for Pearl that she is healthy enough now to bear the pups and that they be healthy enough to survive.  We will be posting updates and pics of our new arrivals.
