Muggsy is doing beautifully. His neck has healed very well. He is quiet and sweet and looking for a home that will give him the love and attention that he's been deprived of for most of his life. I'm sure he was that adorable pup, that when he got older, was tied outside and forgotten. No one had time for him, except for the neighbor who made sure he had food and water. This little guy is very special.

This is Muggsy. He's what you get when you mix a rottie with a beagle. You know a new designer dog called a Reagle, AKA a MIX!.

This little guys life has been far from regal. He's spent it tied to a coop with a kind neighbor furnishing pretty much all of his food and care. The leather collar he wore shrank with the rain and became imbedded into his neck. When it was brought to the owner's attention, he told the neighbor to take the dog and shoot him because he couldn't afford to take him to the vet. Immediately, he was brought to us. We soaked the collar off of him and took him to the vet. Muggsy remained sweet thru the whole process. I couldn't believe it.

He's on antibiotics and will be brought up to date on shots and neutered on Monday. He's not a boxer, but how could we say no to such a sweet boy.

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
