Gizmo is just the best dog ever says his new foster home. There is only one problem. There is a lot of work to do with his feeling on the cats. The family that has Gizmo cannot say enough good things about him. Its obvious he has never been around the cats and its a huge adjustment. Hopefully things will work out. We will keep the site posted. Gizmo is good with the horses and is very well behaved in every way.

Gizmo is feeling MUCH better after a bout with Kennel cough. Today was the first real day that he has again been with the ladies, and all is well. He is playing with Doodle and spending time sleeping against Missie....

He seems to be no worse for the wear and doesn't seem to have lost much weight. His appetite is back and he's again eating his food with gusto....he get's 4 cups over two feedings and some canned food or goodies mixed in....

I hope these pictures give people a good idea of how well he does with big girl dogs, lol...He really LOVES kids and mostly all people....I haven't found him to be at all picky in terms of who he loves...as long as someone is petting him...he is a happy camper....

His leash manners are excellent now and he let's you now when he needs to go out.

Update -Just wanted to post an update on Gizmo....he's been here for 4 days now, and I have to say, he's been very, very sweet and a very good boy. He is completely housebroken and has kept both his crate and the house clean. He let's us know when he needs to go out, and "goes" as soon as he is taken out.

Gizmo, has attached himself to our 12 year old son... He is also great with our other three kids (ages 17, 14 and 10). He is eating well and sleeping well. Gizmo also met three of our resident dogs (Great Danes-all female) and there was was very little reaction when introductions were made. Currently as I type this, he is sleeping side by side under my feet, with my 2 year old Great Dane girl. He is learning leash manners very quickly and will walk nicely with us, on lead.

Gizmo is really a very sweet dog....we're thrilled we are able to foster him until his forever home is found.

Gizmo was surrendered by his owner because he and the other "boy" dog in the house started to not get along. Both dogs were not neutered!

When he came, he was extremely frightened and would run if anyone looked at him. Since then, he has warmed up and approaches to be petted. He's on the thin side, but eating well and will be all filled out shortly. He was just neutered, and recovering from the surgery.

I think he's a cutie and will make someone a wonderful friend.

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
