Well Lincoln has been at our house since Saturday (12-9) He is doing great. He does not have any huge issues that we can tell so far. He has a great disposition, even with my female Morgan, who does not get along well with other dogs. Once he realized she would not play with him, he pretty much leaves her alone. We only have had 3 little spats, all started by Morgan and fairly easy to break up.

Lincoln knows the words No and Sit. He takes food from our hand wonderfully. He does pull on the leash a little, but if you tell him no he quickly stops. He also is mostly crate trained, sometimes we need to give him a little push and treat to go in, but he does not fight it. He is completely housed trained and goes by the door when he needs to go out. He does chase our cat, but I think he only wants to play, I don't think he would hurt her. He has such a sweet and loving attitude. He loves to cuddle with my husband on the floor.

He would make a great addition to any home. He is a great dog.

Lincoln  is now at the kennel.  He's a nice dog; needs to gain a little weight.  Looked out the window for most of the ride to the kennel.  I think he'll be a great dog for someone who will give him a little TLC.  They say he is about 5 years old.  He didn't come with any medical info, don't know if the puppymill does any shots or medical care.  He doesn't know his name.  Needs to be neutered.

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
