The results of the skin scrapings to determine the cause of his foot licking were negative, and he's received all of his shots and was neutered April 11th. Have new photos that need to be developed and will send them with the next update. He is well housetrained, amazing with young children, apparently he was subject to a lot of over manipulation with their two year old daughter and he was extremely trusting and tolerant. His name is Trouble although he isn't is any way trouble as per his previous owners, where the problem lies is for their 2yr old child in the way of severe allergies. I firmly believe that this is the case with this family as they have been checking on his status on a daily basis.
Trouble is a dog of wonderful temperament.
Trouble's trouble is allergies himself. The previous owner was told it was a food allergy but the vet never did any diagnostics to confirm. Trouble has hairloss and reddness on his feet and severe otitis of the ears and some reddness and hairloss on his chin. Otherwise the rest of his skin and coat is extremely, clean, soft and full for a boxer. Trouble is moderately good with other dogs but is getting increasingly intense with the excitement and arousal level in the shelter kennels.
