Update - Sage has been in our home for about two weeks now and is an
absolute joy to have around. She is full of energy and greets us every
morning with the sweetest boxer wiggles. She has been very well behaved and
even knows several basic commands (sit, down, come, shake). She generally
stays off of the furniture, even when invited up. We had no problems giving
her a bath in our tub and she loved being brushed. She does have a history
of fence jumping and running free, although we have not seen that side of
her- she did sneak out the front door to play with a neighbor dog and came
right back when we called her. She is getting along famously with our 6
month old puppy, as she has taken on somewhat of a motherly role. She loves
to share her food, treats, and toys.
8/10/06 -
Intake Reason - Sage is coming into rescue through owner surrender,
reporting no time for her and that she needs more room to run than they can
provide. From the looks of it, she has spent most of her time in a small
outdoor cage and it is reported that she is able to jump a fence. It is also
reported that she does sleep indoors, is crate trained and house broken.
Update - Sage is a 2 1/2 year old beautiful female boxer who, thus far,
has been exceptionally friendly to everyone she's met. She rode nicely in
the car and was very affection, offering many kisses when we arrived home.
She has been on several walks since she arrived at our house, and walks very
nicely on the leash. She is very strong and has a lot of energy, so it's not
hard to believe that if left un-entertained for extended periods of time,
she could climb a fence or get herself into some trouble.
However, with regular exercise and attention, she has been very well
behaved in our house. Without a doubt, she is in need of lots of love and
attention. We will update again as we learn more about this beautiful girl. |

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 |
