This is Trooper. His story is one you won't want to believe. Trooper was found on the sidewalk in the city dying from wounds he received from being used as pit bull bait in a dog fighting ring. He is only about 6 months old and has had a traumatic start to life.

A police officer saw him and took him to the local shelter where they called AABR. He was transported to the hospital on a stretcher just barely clinging on to life. The first few days were very questionable as to if he were going to survive, but with all the excellent vet care he received this little guy has pulled through with his will to live too. He has been hospitalized for over a week now and is doing so well. We are doing the best we can to make sure we can save his front leg. It was so mauled that it will take about 2 months, hopefully, to heal completely.

His legs are gently hosed and massaged daily, he is on antibiotics in addition to all the other daily care he is receiving. This little guy is all kisses and wiggles when I go to visit him after work. He is so forgiving!

He goes home each night now with a vet tech who takes great care of him. She has a little boy, 8 years old, 110 pound Rottie and Trooper loves everyone. She also has a cat but he is not very interested it the cat. This pup is amazing how he loves everyone after all he has been through. He is 100% wiggles, kisses and unconditional love.

Please help us to continue to provide the best care we can by making a donation to AABR in Trooper's name. It is only because of people like you that AABR can do what we do. Thank you for giving Trooper the chance at a healthy and happy life!

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
