Story
My boy Lewy. 4 years old, 90 lbs, male, fixed, docked tail. Brindle Boxer X Blue Tick Coon hound. High prey drive. Lives with 2 other dogs, 75 lb Afghan and 90 lb Presa Canerio. We have almost an acre, with doggie door. Fed twice a day, kibble, cooked meat/veggies, raw chicken carcass. Out twice a day, 30 mins to 1 hour. Off leash as much as possible. Trained, tested Therapy dog. Has been visiting our local seniors weekly for the past 2 years. Not his favorite thing to do, but the seniors love him. Amazing, beautiful dog, well behaved but bored. It is such a shame he is a good boy, but not happy living with senior me, he is going out of his mind. Starting to get depressed, grumpy, groans and whines a lot. He needs more going on. Younger, larger active family, with more to keep his brain occupied.

Story
Moose is the sweetest dog you will ever meet, he is affectionate, friendly, loves people & other dogs and loves to go for walks, short ones of course, 3km seems to be his max at one time. Moose is 5 years old & is a Cane Corso x Dogo, he would be best suited in a home that has a fenced yard, he is well trained but can be an escape artist at times. He is able to stay in the house for 9+ hours. Moose is on a fish-based diet to control itchy skin. He is healthy, happy & friendly & would love to meet you!

Story
Ranger is the tallest of the males in his litter of 10. He is vocal and loves to tell you about his day and then tell you again! He loves to be pet and looks at a gate as a challenge, not a barrier. He is a typical busy puppy, who loves to play, run, and wrestle. He will be a large dog, as both mom and dad are over 75 pounds. He is looking for a forever home that has some experience with the food motivated lab and stubborn mastiff. It is recommended that he attend a puppy socialization class to become comfortable with friends who are not his siblings. He will be visiting the vet this week for his vaccines, flea and tick treatment, microchip, and wellness screening. He will come with a voucher for his neuter at 6 months of age at our vet in Woodstock. His adoption fee is $500. You must be 21 years old to adopt and provide vet and personal references. An application to adopt him can be found on our website www.oxfordcountyanimalrescue.com. Click on Adopt, then Dogs for Adoption and scroll to the bottom of the page. All applications are reviewed, and if we feel you might be a good fit for him, you will be contacted to arrange a home visit as well as for permission to speak with your vet. Repeated phone calls and emails with not advance your application. We are a volunteer, foster based rescue and there is no opportunity to meet him before an application has been approved. We thankyou for respecting these guidelines.

Story
Rocky is one of the smaller male pups from a litter of 10. He is a challenging pup who pushes every limit he can! He will need a firm, patient owner who sets boundaries and stand by them. Like his brothers, he is a typical little boy who loves to run and chase and wrestle until it's time to eat. He will be a large dog, as both mom and dad are over 75 pounds. He is looking for a forever home that has some experience with the food motivated lab and stubborn mastiff. It is recommended that he attend a puppy socialization class to become comfortable with friends who are not his siblings.

Story
Meet Shelby, a cute, sweet, cuddly, energetic girl looking for her furever home. We believe she is about 1-1.5 years old. She was found all alone at a hiking lookout, probably waiting for her people to come back for her. She had no collar or chip, and no-one came to look for her. She was extremely shy, nervous, and hungry and a bit worse for wear when she was found, but she is finding her groove now! She is very eager to please, and a quick study as she is very food motivated. She is currently working on crate training, loose leash walking, sit, down and leave it. She is house trained as long as she is let outside regularly, but she does not ask to go out. She seems to warm up to females quicker than men, but is becoming more confident with time. She doesn't like to be left alone, and is still a bit nervous of new people and places . She is currently being fostered with an older female lab/shepherd/ mastiff mix and is learning the ropes from her. She has learned to swim, fetch, chase sticks, play tug of war, wrestle and is learning to play with toys instead of shoes. She does like to chew! She likes to go for car rides and is developing a fascination for chasing squirrels. We are working on redirecting this new hobby. She has met a few other dogs and cats, but has not spent a lot of time with cats so she may be a bit too interested in them as they resemble squirrels. She has done well with the few older kids she has met . She is looking for a family who can give her lots of love and continue to work with her to help her continue to become more secure and confident. She is up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, flea and tick treated and has been spayed. Her adoption fee is $500. You must be 21 years old to adopt and provide vet and personal references. An application to adopt her can be found on our website www.oxfordcountyanimalrescue.com. Click on Adopt, then Dogs for Adoption and scroll to the bottom of the page.
