5/05/06 - Striker
Most all of our rescues come with sad and needlessly unfortunate stories,
but the seniors are the ones who get to me the most. Striker is a 10 ½ year
old male; the only family he ever knew dumped him at the shelter because
they had “outgrown him”. How heart wrenching is that?!!
When our volunteer picked him up he was so scared and confused, what a
horrible ordeal for him to be subjected to. He has given his whole life to
this family, only to have them reward him by abandoning him at an
over-crowded shelter, where he would have been euthanized if AABR had not
pulled him. Striker is a small boy; he looks great for his age. All the
volunteers knew they were picking up a 10 ½ year old boy and every one of
them commented on how he does not look or act like 10 ½ years old.
They were all smitten by him and said what a sweetheart this guy is. In
no time at all he was giving those “no other can compare to” Boxer kisses
that all of us Boxer lovers live for!
Striker deserves better than the hand he was dealt, he deserves a family
who will be there for him, who will love him and cherish him in his senior
years. He still has a lot of love to give and will be a wonderful and
devoted companion to some very fortunate family.

If you are interested in adopting this dog, please first read the
information on our
Adoption Procedures,
then fill out an
online application.
Boxers and Applicants
are not matched on a first come, first served basis.
Not all applications are approved. On average, it takes
between 1 week and 3 months to adopt a Rescue Boxer to an
approved applicant, depending on your personal circumstances and flexibility. Matching Boxers suitable for placement
with younger children, other dogs, cats, and special
needs, yours and theirs, increases the application review
time and adoption time.
And yes, we
realize that the Boxer you may have your heart set on, may be adopted
before you're approved. Should your first choices all ready
found their forever home, we want you to advise
us as to other dogs you are interested in at
Adoptions@AdoptABoxerRescue.com . Or let
us suggest a few that we feel will match your home.
That is what we are good at. And be happy for the
ones that have been placed... and know that there are way too many
fantastic dogs waiting in their place.
Our non-profit organization is wholly comprised of hard-working volunteers whose only reward is seeing our wonderful
Boxers placed in loving, permanent homes and given another chance for a happy life. Our process may seem slow, but if you are patient, we will try to provide you with a devoted, loving companion - a
Boxer.
We hope you feel that
the right Boxer is worth waiting for.
