Questions to Ask Yourself Before You Adopt a Boxer



1.    Why do I want a Boxer?

2.    What do I know about Boxers?  What is there to know?

3.    Who will take care of this Boxer in my household?  Who will feed her?  Who
       will take her to the vet? Who will exercise her?  Take her to obedience
       classes?  Who will she "belong" to?


4.    Where will this Boxer sleep?  What will I feed her?  Am I willing to pick up
       poop everyday,
rain or shine, summer or winter, in the yard or on our walks?

5.    Can I afford basic veterinarian care?  Am I informed about yearly expenses of
       heartworm
preventive and inoculations?

6.    Will I follow through on emergency vet care?  Do I know where the nearest
       animal emergency
clinic is?  Injuries and illnesses usually happen when we least
       expect them.


7.    Who will take care of my Boxer when I am on vacation?  Can I afford to pay
       kennel or boarding
care fees?  Will my job require me to be away from home
       for extended periods of time--or even
travel?

8.    Can I deal with lots of short brown or white hair in my house and on my clothes?

9.    Do I have the time to give this Boxer attention and exercise every day?
