Forever Home Seeks Ideal Boxer Dog!

I am looking for a Boxer dog who needs a forever home.

Said Boxer should be either male or female, preferably spayed/neutered, preferably house-trained/crate-trained, and friendly to women, men, and small children, as well as other dogs. Any age is acceptable; between the ages of 1 and 3 would be ideal. A mix of a Boxer and another breed would also be acceptable, except pit bull/Boxer mixes.

As for price, I would prefer to be able to have the animal for free or for less than $100, especially an older dog, or younger dog that has not been fixed. Any supplies (leash, crate, etc.) that come with it would be great, too.

The perfect candidate should enjoy living in an intimate family setting, love to take walks, and hearty playing. The Boxer's siblings will include a sweet little (human) girl, age 5, and a Siberian Husky girl, age 6. We live in a small town and have a fenced-in backyard. As long-time dog owners, we understand what kind of responsibility pet ownership is, and any dog coming into our home would be treated like one of the family. We also understand the negatives associated with different breed characteristics. Once the dog is in our home, s/he's our friend 'til the end. :) We are not the type of family who adopt a puppy and then get rid of it once it has lost its cuteness. Biting is the only unacceptable behavior that would be a deal-breaker for us, because of DD, our 5-year-old daughter.

If you know of any such dog in the East Central Illinois area, especially in the Champaign-Urbana or Mattoon-Charleston areas, please let me know. Email me at the address in the righthand sidebar. I'd be willing to drive two hours in any direction to pick up the animal.
