Rudy is an Adoptable Boxer Pit Bull Puppy

What a cutie!  And, let's face it, I couldn't resist featuring a dog named Rudy!  This adorable boy is a brown brindle and white Boxer and Pit Bull.  Rudy is still at puppy at only 4 months old and full of playful puppy energy.

Rudy has been calling the Humane Society of Missouri animal shelter in St Louis home since November 2012.  Definitely time for this sweet boy to find a loving forever home.

Take a look at Rudy's adoption video below and then please share!  Let's network and find Rudy someone who will teach him to be the loving, well behaved companion he wants to be.

Interested in adopting Rudy?  Contact the Humane Society of Missouri at 314-951-1562.  Rudy's animal ID number is A541555.

Boxer Dog Jewelry Gifts

If you have a Boxer dog lover on your holiday shopping list, I hope you'll take a look at my handmade Boxer dog breed jewelry.  

Shown at left is a Boxer dog pendant to wear on your own silver necklace, ribben or cord.  The Boxer dog is cast of resin from an original carving mold, then hand painted.  Two dimensional and true to AKC dog breed standards.  In this pendant, the Boxer dangles from a sweet silver heart and simple sterling silver bail.

One of my personal favorites is the Boxer dog lover bracelet shown below.  White glass three dimensional dog bones are combined with cobalt blue Czech glass beads, plus an amazing puffy artisan lampwork bead in blues, khaki and white.  Charms include the Boxer dog and a sweet little three dimensional silver dog bone.

 Shown below is a fun dog lover necklace with a ginger colored bully dog.  The pendant is handcrafted of clay.  The necklace includes black three dimensional dog bone beads, plus black onyx and aventurine gemstone beads.

Almost all of my dog breed Christmas ornaments are already sold out for this year.  However, I do have one Boxer dog Christmas ornament on hand as I write this.  These are wonderful gifts and look great all year round, not just on a Christmas tree.  Generous in size (4 1/2" x 3"), they're two dimensional (flat on the back)

Puppy Mill Bust in Greene County Missouri

On September 21, 2010, the Humane Society of Missouri Animal Cruelty Task Force worked in cooperation with the Greene County, Missouri, Sheriff's Department to rescue 45 dogs from a commercial breeding facility near Republic, MO.  The dogs were  living in unsanitary and unsafe conditions.

According to the HSMO, the animals included Schnauzers, Boxers, Miniature Pinchers, and Boster Terrier dogs.  A USDA inspection report issued in April 2010 cited 12 pages of violations for this facility including inappropriate, inadequate, unsafe and unsanitary housing for the dogs; smashed feces in the mesh flooring of some enclosures indicating lack of daily cleaning; and clutter, trash and animal waste throughout the facility.

Recently a citizen purchased a puppy from this facility. A veterinarian examined the dog and determined it would need extensive veterinary care. The incident was reported to the Greene County Sheriff’s Department which subsequently obtained a warrant to arrest the owner for operating a commercial dog breeding facility without a license and to inspect the property. The warrant was served this morning. Upon the recommendation of two independent veterinarians to remove the animals, the Greene County Sheriff’s Department requested the assistance of the HSMO Animal Cruelty Task Force. Conditions found on the property today include: dogs living in cages filled with feces and urine soaked bedding; filthy water bowls covered with algae; mold in the food; and inappropriate, unsafe caging.

Previously this year, the owner of this facility was charged with animal abuse in Newton County for abandoning a breeding facility in that county and leaving animals behind with no food or water resulting in the starvation and death of some of the dogs. Newton County placed the surviving dogs with a local animal shelter.

The dogs rescued from Greene County will be taken to the Humane Society of Missouri’s Headquarters shelter in St. Louis City for triage and care. The animals will remain in the custody of the Humane Society of Missouri until the disposition hearing.  If custody of the animals is awarded to the Humane Society of Missouri, as many of them as possible will be made available for adoption.

Missouri Dog Breeder Requests Rescue from ASPCA

A Camden County, Missouri dog breeder called the ASPCA and requested help. Due to hardships caused by the economy, the breeder could no longer afford to feed and care for their 100 dogs. The ASPCA rescued more than 100 dogs which they then divided between the Southwest Missouri Humane Society in Springfield, Mo and the Missouri Humane Society in St Louis, MO.



The dogs are a mix of large and small breeds. They include small breeds such as Dachshund, Maltese, Shih Tzu, Lhasa Apsos, and large breeds such as Huskie and Boxer.  The Springfield folks reported that the dogs were in pretty good shape.  They'll receive further evaluation, any neccessary vet care,  and then will be available for adoption in about a week.


The report I saw was via KY3 television news out of Springfield. In that report you'll notice both the reporter and the ASPCA staff referring to this as a puppy mill rescue. I happen to agree with the SW MO Humane Society staff person who said this is a breeder trying to do the right thing.

Boxer Necklace Handcrafted Dog Breed Jewelry

This handcrafted dog breed necklace features an amazing Boxer dog art sculpture. Wonderfully hand sculpted and hand painted by a Wisconsin artist. True to AKC dog breed standards and absolutely darling. You can even see the fur and muscles on this little Boxer dog.

I've hand wire wrapped this little dog sculpture with goldfilled wire to dangle freely from a puffy Black Onyx heart. Necklace is composed of genuine Black Onyx and Austrian crystals in coffee color. Accented with teeny tiny goldfilled round beads. Elegant and cheerful, just like this dog breed. Even the extender chain is accented with more gems and a little gold three dimensional dogbone, just in case this doggie needs a treat. At For Love of a Dog Jewelry we think dog jewelry is always in fashion.

I've seen a look in dogs' eyes, a quickly vanishing look of amazed contempt, and I am convinced that basically dogs think humans are nuts. John Steinbeck
