Champ Needs a Home!

I'm trying to get the word out before I publish this in papers, but I wanted to see if anyone is interested (or know of anyone interested) in a free AKC registered with papers, fawn Boxer.  He's almost 3 years old (August), weighs 95 pounds, neutered and house trained.  However, there is a reason we are offering him free (going through it all so you have all the answers you need in one email).     He goes to the bathroom a lot and it seems like every 3-hours he needs to go.  He will tell you, but if you don't take him out within 15 minutes of him "telling you", you may have a mess on your hands.  He is crate trained, but has been known to have accidents in the crate too (just urine).  He hasn't had a crate accident in a while though.  He can also be a nervous dog and has been that way since he was a puppy.  Because he is so nervous, you have to really pace him with the water he intakes.  He will gulp a whole bowl in one drink if I let him and that sometimes causes air bubbles and it will come back up because his stomach is sensitive.  When I give him water, I pace him and force him to drink slower.  We had to discuss this with the Vet and that was the resolution--pace him or put a huge rock in his water so he has to work to get to it (that was over the top for me and he'd end up eating the rock).  I was told Boxers have one of two traits--nervous or a big baby.... he's both!  He will bark like he's a real dog, but he's kind of wimpy.  He's a good guard dog by sight, but don't expect him to actually do anything cause he's a big baby.  He scares people if strangers walk up to the door, which usually does the job (if they only knew!!).    He also has Alopecia.  Sounds bad, but all it means is that he is bald on his sides.  This is another trait Boxers are known for.  It's not contagious, not painful, not itchy, not a bug or parasite, not anything--just bald.  It's the same baldness that men get in older age, but it effects Boxers.  The Vet has him on thyroid meds for 2-months to see if that will stimulate his thyroids to make the hair grow back (and then he won't be on meds).  We haven't seen any hair growth yet.  The Vet also said you can put over-the-counter hair growth on them and that helps, but I don't care enough about it to go to that extent.  If he's not in pain or bothered, it's just cosmetic at that point.   However, enough about the downside.  He's actually a very loving and sweet dog.  He loves kids (very protecting) and loves other dogs (although sometimes he doesn't realize how big he is).  I say that because my Pug is the alpha dog and Champ could probably eat Pugsly, but he doesn't realize that.  He loves to play with toys and will walk around with his "baby" in his mouth, which is a teddy bear.  He loves to play and loves tennis balls (he usually tears everything else up--surprisingly the teddy bear is not torn to shreds yet).  He is also obsessed with socks.  He gets all crazy in the eyes when you wave a sock in front of him.  He will also try and sit in your lap like he's a little dog.  That's a sight to see (he tips my husband over in the recliner--very comical).  He will jump up and hug your neck when you get home and just genuinely a very loving and silly dog.  He also has a thing for the couch and pretty much takes up the whole thing.   Why are we getting rid of him?  I already have a demanding Pug and Champ is more than we can handle anymore.  We don't have a fenced in yard so he's not getting the exercise he needs and he does need your attention--and I'm just tired of all the pets in my house.  My allergies are a wreck and it's bad enough with my Pug, adding two dogs has me on strong meds (and still not 100% effective).  We don't have the extra $$ to get a fence since the price seems to skyrocket every year we get a quote!   So, if you know of someone who is interested that can handle the above, then please let me know.  You can email here at work or at maryfries@bellsouth.net.  I can provide pictures.  I have about a million of him!
