Update -Wonderful News!!! Last Saturday Niko moved into his forever home. He has been adopted by a lovely family with 2 kids and a terrific mom and dad. They say that he is adapting well to his new life, and happily alternates his sleeping arrangements each night between the 2 kids. I could not be happier that he has found such a great family to love. My love to all of them for making a place in their hearts for this exceptionally wonderful dog.

What a Superstar our Niko was at last Saturdays Adoption Day at Petsmart. He had a great time meeting and greeting all of the nice people and pets that stopped to say hello. His tail was wagging nonstop, and he generously doled out sloppy kisses, and warm hugs to all who would accept them. This boy is just the greatest. All who spent time with him said the same thing, "what a gentle giant he is". I suggest you all hurry and get your applications in for this special boy. He'll be gone before you know it, and you'll be sorry you missed out on making him a special member of your family.

Update -We recently added another puppy to our foster family. "Eve" joined us New Years weekend, and Niko is completely taken with her. He is always nuzzling her, and plays very gently when she swats him in the head, or chews on his ear. He's her personal gentle giant. He is always aware of where she is so he doesn't accidentally step on her. They are adorable together.

You couldn't ask for a better babysitter. Turns out he is a great "alert" dog.  He patrols the perimeter of our little yard for intruders daily, and lets everyone know he is there on duty with a hearty "woof".

Niko is just the most wonderful, loving boy, and quite the snuggler.  Please make Niko a part of your family. You'll be so glad that you did!!

Niko came to join our foster family last week, and what a wonderful dog he has turned out to be. Within 15 minutes of his arrival he had met everyone, and made himself at home by staking out his portion of the couch. He has settled into our routine very easily, and seems incredibly easy going. He is completely housetrained, and is very gentle despite his slightly larger than usual size. He has the sweetest disposition, and is a total love bug. He follows me around the house, and no matter where I am he plops himself down on the floor like a sack of potatoes and waits for our next move. He gets along beautifully with everyone, including the cat, whom he seems to basically disregard, and the cat likes it that way. This is just one great dog. I can't get over how easy he is. He listens well, and minds his manners. I can leave him loose in the house with no worries. He could fit in anywhere!!!

It was one of the saddest OWNER SURRENDERS we have had. NIKO and Zappa were "gotten rid of" because the owners did not want them anymore. Well, that is not totally true now that I type this. As the mother took the dogs out of the car and dropped them off the children in the car covered their faces crying uncontrollably. It was the saddest thing to see a child's dog being taken away from them. They obviously loved their dogs and did not want then to be disposed of like this! The mother put the icing on the cake when she asked for someone to lie to her children and tell them they were on their way to a home. Well, that was NEVER going to happen and she will have to face her children herself!

NIKO is part mastiff looking! What a beautiful combo! NIKO is a big lover who loves to snuggle and play! Typical little boy. He is a loving, playful boy who really needs someone to take him in and take him on nice long walks or play ball. He is a very good boy looking for a home that will love him for good! Will it be yours? PLEASE offer to foster NIKO and or Zappa as they are so scared and confused in the kennel.

Would you like to adopt a pair of wonderful loving dogs!??? Please Please help us get them out of the kennel and into a loving home for the holidays!

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
