(Ottawa Dog of the Week for November 30th/09)

“Dori is my 1 year old boxer that I rescued from the Ottawa Humane Society. Dori was surrendered by her owners at only 8 weeks of age after they accidentally broke her foot in a door and they couldn’t afford to fix it. My husband and I adopted Dori in January of 2009 and she is quite a gem. Dori is a flashy fawn with a full tail, something you rarely see in pure bred boxers. Her favorite toy is a spoon…yes a metal, normal, everyday spoon. Dori is so smart that she even knows the best place to find spoons, in the dishwasher! As soon as she sees the dishwasher open Dori will race over and pick out the spoons (not the forks or knives…just the spoons) and if she accidentally chooses the wrong utensil, she’ll put the wrong one back in the dishwasher! Needless to say Dori is very smart and quirky! She definitely lives up to the Boxer name as she is truly a ham. Dori is also kind and affectionate which makes her an all around wonderful dog. ” – Dori’s Mom, Ashley

Keno is known to the area as the most lovable dog, the whole neighborhood were on the lookout for him. He is well loved and such a calm, kind dog. He was outside the store with people all around and his leash was over a ceramic post because were always in and out. My fiance went inside to grab his keys to put him in the house because he had this weird feeling and thought he didn’t want to leave him outside anymore. Its funny how your intuition is trying to tell you something. He went inside for 1 min and Keno was gone. So in order for him to have been let loose someone took his leash off the post. Its been two days of non-stop looking for him and we want to make sure people are aware this dog is stolen.

Keno is mix of a boxer and Staffordshire Bull Terrier. He is caramel color with a white all around his neck and a white line between his eyes and has a very pink nose.

He was last seen on 461 Donald street at Dino’s Food Mart between 2 and 3pm.
Please email Ranya or call 613 913 6997 if you have seen Keno.

“I rescued Zeus when he was 6 months old. He was the quietest boxer puppy I had ever seen…and I thought maybe I might have lucked out. Turns out Zeus had been abused, and his quiet side came from a severe lack of socialization. Next thing I knew, Zeus was very aggressive and very fearful of men. What had I gotten myself into? A few weeks later, Zeus and I flew all the way to Victoria, B.C. together and took the Wonderdogs Professional Dog Training Program by Ben Kersen. Now Zeus is 1 year old, and he is a happy, healthy, well-rounded dog who loves to play tug-o-war, fetch, and wrestle. Zeus is the kind of dog who can brighten anyone’s day, whether by drinking beer from the bottle, snuffing out candle flames, chasing laser pointers, or by dipping his face in a bucket of suds and coming out with a beard. He has rediscovered puppyhood late in life, but he will always be my baby!” – Zeus’ Mom, Rachel

“Zeke is a 15 month old boxer who believes at 62 pounds that he is indeed a lap dog. He loves playing with his squeaky toys, chewing on a bully stick and going for car rides. Quite often people who see him are wary believing he is a mean or vicious dog due to his square athletic stance and studded collar and I can’t help but shake my head that people wont even give him a chance. Zeke plays best with smaller dogs as he’ll egg them on to chase him. Zeke’s favorite place in the city is running off leash at Bruce Pit where he an sprint through the tall grass and wrestle with other dogs.” – Zeke’s dad, Brad
