The house is SO quiet this morning. No thumping tail on the wall. No leaps on and off the bed (it's faster than going around). No races to the cookie jar. So quiet.

Hammond succumbed to his battle with cancer yesterday. Way too soon but, but so much longer than they thought. And yesterday was the first day since we had him that he did not greet us with his “this is going to be a good day” attitude. Still, he remained loving and as enthusiastic as his body would allow him until the end.

We're going to have to look at the clock now to see when it is time for breakfast and dinner. No more races to his crate at hearing the word “house”. No one at the ready should a morsel of food hit the floor. He gave us so much more that he took.

We are grateful for his time with us. We miss him so much already.

Hammond is now in foster! . We brought him home today and he settled in so well. He explored the house with such wonder on his cute little face, he was like a kid in a candy shop! He is just the sweetest boy , loves to cuddle. He takes treats very gently and will sit and give a high five! He seems to be housebroken and walks well on a leash and rides great in the car. I think he may be a little younger than a year, he looks like he still has some growing to do to fit into those paws and still has such a baby face. He is a joy to have.

Intake Reason - stray to shelter

Update - Hammond is such a GEM. He is ready for is forever home. He is friendly, sweet and a love bug! He is a happy go lucky Boxer who needs a home to call his own for good. He was found as a stray! How could anyone ever loose a gem like Hammond? He will be a wonderful addition to a family that will appreciate all the love he has to give.

PLEASE offer to foster his handsome young gentleman. If you foster Hammond you will get to see a beautiful flower bloom right before your very eyes.

Prior to adoption:

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
