Harley "David", is now in foster and doing great! He is absolutely the sweetest, easiest, undemanding dog we have ever fostered (and we've fostered many). We have bathed him and clipped his nails and he was perfect the entire time. He loves to be with you and follows us around the house. He is perfectly house trained, which surprised us as he was a stray and then in a kennel for a while so we expected to have to give him a refresher, but he has been perfect! He does not touch a thing in the house. When I was changing the trash, he came up to sniff at it and as soon as I said "No", he walked away and did not go near it again. He met my 11 yr old niece and was a gentle as could be with her. He has been fantastic with all people he has met. In the evenings, he hangs out on the! sofa in the living room with us and our 3 other boxers.

Supposedly this boy was a stray. He's the best, a perfect gentlemen. If Kenny Rogers was a dog, he would be Harley. He's a little on the portly side, but just more of him to love. We are going to have his thyroid tested, and it may just be something simple as that which makes him overweight. If not that, then it's diet time and some long walks for that boy to whip him into shape.

We went to the Waverly Adoptathon, and everyone loved this sweet guy. He made it a point to get up and greet anyone who came near the table. What a sweetheart. I think he needs a soft couch to recline on and just put Animal Planet on the tv for him to watch.

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
