Update - Miss Betty continues to enjoy life here in our Foster home. She enjoys our walks and has met several of the neighbors. She is wonderful w/ everyone that she meets. Betty is a very sweet and easy girl to have in our home. She adjusted quickly to our daily routine and learned which door is for "potty" and which door is for "walks" and which staircase leads to the kids!!!!! Betty sleeps in her crate in our office @ night and greets us with big wiggles every morning. She practically bends herself into a "C" wiggling the whole time...while she says goodmorning!!!!

Betty continues to be great w/ our male Boxers. They love to play in the yard and sometimes nap together. Betty and my youngest boy-boxer share every thing... food, water, toys & chewies. She also loves to clean his face!!! We have made much progress w/ the cat. Betty was curious and wanted to take a big sniff.. the first time it was ok, the second time the cat ran and Betty chased. After that I kept them apart for a couple of days and slowly reintroduced them. Betty is now able to be in the room w/ the cat w/out issue. It took several meetings and me reminding her to "be nice" or just say "no" and she would stop in her tracks and walk away from the cat. Now she walks past the cat like she doesn't even notice that she is there.

I feel that Betty prefers human companionship. She absolutely loves our children and lavishes our son's face w/ kisses (because he encourages her to) she will give gentle kisses otherwise. While in the yard ... she'll romp and play w/ the boxers and then return to check on the children. If she hears an unfamiliar noise she runs to check it out and back us. She will give a "protected by Boxer bark" just to let those on the other side of the fence know that there is a beautiful, petite boxer-girly on duty !!! Betty is wonderful. It would be hard not to fall in love w/ her.. she is just perfect!!! If you are the family that open your hearts and home to this beautiful boxer-girly.. You will be very blessed, she is sweet, smart and eager to please and has so much love and devotion to give in return.

Transported into rescue by Greg Biffle, then placed into foster care.

Betty has been in our foster home just over a week. It has been a joy getting to know her. Betty has a beautiful healthy coat and warm brown eyes and a face full of expression. She is a sweet and wonderful boxer girly with the cutest little wiggles. Her tail is constantly wagging. She is a happy girl and always up for anything....even if that anything is just sitting beside you for a belly rub.

Betty has settled in nicely and gets along w/ our 2 Boxer boys though she prefers human companionship as she is never to far from me. She loves our children and when asked she gives gentle kisses. Betty rides well in the car, loves going for walks and likes to romp in the yard. She can be actively playing and then will settle in a second. Betty is crate trained, house trained, knows all basic commands, walks wonderful on a leash. Betty has great manners she does not get on the furniture and does not jump. She has shared her water bowl and even shared her left over food w/ her foster brother.

Betty is a beautiful girl w/ a wonderful personality. She would make a great addition to any family. She would get along w/ a passive personality male dog or just love being doted on as the one & only. Betty's story began w/ a rescue Hero...we are blessed to be able to know her and love her along her journey. Betty is now looking for her forever home....her "happily ever after".

6/13/06 - Betty - NASCAR Driver to the Boxer Rescue!

Meet the two sweethearts, Betty and Barbara, who hailed from North Carolina last weekend, thanks to Greg Biffle and Nicole Lunders' generosity and love for the breed. Thank you again, Greg and Nicole.

Betty and Barbara are two very, very sweet and exceptionally friendly girls who love everyone, and especially each other. They are currently being boarded at the vet’s and are being spayed this week. They have had no accidents in their crate, so we suspect they may be house broken. Their check out time is Friday morning (June 16) and we are looking for a wonderful home, either foster or forever, who will open their hearts and home to these two girls. It is our wish to place them together, if humanly possible, but we know that may not be possible and will place them separately if necessary. They love each other so much and nothing would make us happier than to see them go to a wonderful new home as a pair.

Will you be their next hero?

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 a week and 1 month 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. 

Adoptions Fee: $300
