Description
Dog Breed: Boxer (short coat). Ford is a dapper young Boxer that was dumped on the street once his family realized he had gone blind. What makes the situation even more heartbreaking is that Ford’s blindness was preventable! Unfortunately we got him too late, the damage had already been done. When we got Ford over to the shelter, it was already clear that he could not see anything. His eyes were bulging and red; they just looked so uncomfortable. We took him over to our vet the following morning where we discovered what ended up being the cause of his blindness – incredibly high blood pressure! Ford had to be run over to the specialist where we learned that because his high blood pressure went untreated, it caused the retina’s in both eyes to detach! Once we got his blood pressure under control, we had another hurdle to get over…removing one of his eyes. Unfortunately this could not be avoided, but he recovered so well, and is much more comfortable now! We could not have asked for a better patient through all of this, Ford didn’t complain or act out once. He takes his daily blood pressure medication so easily! This boy certainly lives up to his name, as he is built tough!! Now that we finally have his medical needs under control, Ford is ready to find a loving home of his own! He will require medication to manage his blood pressure for the rest of his life, and we do not expect him to regain vision in his remaining eye. We know Ford will need a special kind of adopter, but we know the perfect Boxer lover is out there!

Overview:
The Boxer is a medium-sized, short-haired dog breed of German origin, known for its distinctive appearance and vibrant personality. Physically, Boxers possess a strong, athletic build with a characteristic square head, an undershot jaw, and often a docked tail and cropped ears (though these practices are becoming less common). Their short, glossy coat typically comes in fawn or brindle, often with white markings. Temperamentally, Boxers are renowned for being incredibly loyal, intelligent, and energetic, making them fantastic companions for active families. They thrive on human interaction and can be playful and patient with children, making them excellent family pets. While their energy levels require regular exercise, their adaptability means they can adjust to apartment living if their activity needs are consistently met. However, potential owners should be aware of certain health considerations, including a predisposition to some cancers, heart conditions like cardiomyopathy, and hip dysplasia, underscoring the importance of responsible breeding and regular veterinary check-ups.
