Tyson is an owner surrender - reported given up for personal family circumstances.

Update -Tyson has been with us for 3 days now and he is a wonderful dog. He is a definite Love Bug!! You can tell that he was raised in a loving atmosphere. He is living with 2 other male Boxers and gets along with them wonderfully. He also lives with 2 kitties and doesn’t seem to have any interest in them. He’ll sniff them then just walk away.

He is completely house trained. He loves being outside as long as he has company. Tyson came to us as an owner surrender. Due to some unfortunate family circumstances, his family was forced to give him up. He is a wonderful boy and will make a great addition to a family with children and other dog. He loves to play ball & soccer with my 7 year old son. He spent most of his first day running outside with his new brothers and my son; they all went to sleep early that night.

Tyson is such a sweetheart. He loves to sit on your lap and watch TV with you. He loves to be right next to you. His other name could be Shadow, since he follows me everywhere. He enjoys going for car rides and walks pretty well on a leash. There’s a lot of new smells so it was a little too early to tell how he normally would be on a leash. He has been sleeping in our bed at night, but jumps off in the middle of the night to get in his bed. I guess the king size bed with 2 other boxers, Mommy & Daddy are too much for him!!

He has a lot of energy! He knows some basic commands like sit, stay, want to go “bye-bye”? We are working on a couple of things still. He likes to put his paws on the counter to see what you are cooking or what kind of sandwich you’re making!

There has been someone home at all times since Tyson arrived, and even though he is crated trained, we have allowed him to have free reign of our house 24/7. I know Tyson is ready to be in a permanent family atmosphere where he can go for car rides and have some fun playing with the kids. I would love to be able to keep him since he is a very good dog, but I can’t have 3 dogs in our housing association.

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
