Found this gorgeous boy on the rescue forums of another site. 

 He was found tied to a dumpster with a shattered leg. He had his leg amputated 8 weeks ago and is doing well! He is at bright eyes and bushy tails rescue. 

Here is his petfinder page http://www.petf…..l/16896635

Just to update, turns out I'm not entirely sure when his amputation happened. He has been at the vet and not at the rescue for the last 8 weeks, since he came in. Sounds like they tried to repair his leg and that presented complications which lead to his amputation. 

Leslie I asked why he needs to be an only dog and she said it's purely because they don't know right now. He is a bit kennel aggressive, but she did say 8 weeks of pain in a crate can do that to any dog, but that he is a dream outside of the kennel and real sweetheart. She thinks with proper introductions he'd do just fine with other dogs. She said they only listed him as an only dog for now until they get the chance to do more around other dogs now that he is healthy and doing well with his recovery!

I will contact the woman who I've been talking to (the vet, actually) if you want to PM me your e-mail I can pass it on to her and you can talk directly to her rather than through the rescue?

He sounds like such a sweetie!

Perhaps not Jerry.  I'm sorry to say it might not be a good fit.  I emailed them yesterday and their adoption coordinator just got back to me.  Below is her email: 

Mister is estimated to be about 10 years old. He doesn't look or act this age, but Dr. Allan Berger confirmed that this is roughly accurate, by the way his bones looked during surgery. He did have to have his leg amputated after it being plated. He just wasn't healing; this also supports the age estimate. Older animals don't heal very well. He has shown some aggression towards other dogs and certain people (usually men), but this most often tends to be the case when he is in his kennel. Cage aggression is not uncommon. Our other Bright Eyes adoptable dog "Buck" and "Mister" seem to have barking matches when either of them is kenneled and the other is out. When both out together, they seem to get along fine. So I can't be sure if he is dog aggressive, or just sick of being kenneled. Better safe than sorry and would like to error on the side of caution. Mister seems indifferent about cats. Other than that, he is a great dog and like him very much. Please tell anyone you know about him. The sooner he finds a real home, the sooner he can start living life. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to email me back.

Her email is td2@bebt.com if anyone wants to reach her.  I responded back to let her know if they figure out it's only kennel aggression to let me know.  But for now it's a no go.  Shame really, he's so beautiful! And being a boxer, if he's 10 he really doesn't have much time left to enjoy. 

Chelsea, thanks for your help!

Thanks so much for trying Leslie! My heart breaks for this old boy – it brings back memories of our old guy before he passed and how much he just needed to be with people in his last years. I do hope this big guy finds a furever home soon!

I just sent a message to a local boxer rescue.  Hopefully they'll have room and we can get him out of that place.  I should know one way or another in the next couple days.
