Edgewood NM:  Someone dumped their female boxer mix near our property the Sunday after Thanksgiving. She is a sweetheart, but we have too many animals already and our dogs are very jealous of other animals.  Our granddaughter works in Mountainair as an animal control officer.  She came and checked her out.  She is not chipped or spayed. We think she may have had puppies in the last couple of months.   Based on the tartar of her teeth we think she is between 3 and 4 years old.  She is in good condition.   We know all the animal shelters are beyond full.  We think she was dumped because the shelters are full and they didn't want her euthanized.   I have checked with neighbors and called the local veterinarians, Western Trails and Vista Larga Animal Hospital to see if anyone is missing a dog. She's a great dog but we need to find another place for her.  

Additional information:  We named her Roxy.  I don't think she had ever been on a leash. So we put a harness on her so we would be able to manage her better.  We make her sit before we put the leash on her and sit when we take the leash off of her.  She is doing much better and is learning fast.  At first we weren't sure if she was housebroken.  She peed a couple of times but once she understood the schedule she stopped.  She gets walked 3 times a day and fed in the afternoon.  She has never shown any aggression to us. She gives kisses and has not torn up anything in our workroom. She has free range of the space.  She is a happy dog. She is playful and has lots of energy. 

 If you would like to provide a forever home for this girl, please email Gael.
