I torture myself every now and then...

I've always been a lover of big dogs. While I will make nice with smaller yappy dogs, big dogs are what I want once I get my own place after college.

I've been looking at local breeder's sites, and local dog rescue groups, trying to get a feel for where I should get my dog when I can.

In truth, I have been visiting less and less rescue group's websites. Not because I don't want to put in the work that a rescue would require, but because I get sad while reading the stories of some of these dogs, and I can't take it.

I have been looking at boxers specifically, and found the following rescue groups:

http://adopt-a-boxer.adoptapet.com/

http://www.boxerrescueontario.com/benefactors.cfm


There are several dog rescue organisations all over the country, and a few international ones as well.

If you're going to get yourself a dog, look to your local rescue group first, and see if you can be matched to a dog from them :(

Those rescue sites are heartbreaking and you just wish you could adopt them all. I have had friends with Boxers - excellent cheery and loyal. Good luck!
