With great sadness we must inform you that Zena passed away recently.  She was hiding a cancer which took her suddenly.  She was in the arms of her new family, an AABR volunteer, when she passed.

Zena is a gem like no other. We believe she is older than what we were originally told. We think she is more like 5 years old. If you are looking for unconditional love here it is all wrapped up in ZENA! She is a little sweet couch potato. She is happiest curled up in a tight ball next to you on the couch. She is perfect with my three other boxers both male and female. I could never ask for a sweeter foster pup. She will be hard to let go but when that very special family arrives I know I will cry but I know there is another boxer waiting behind her for a chance to have a new home. I will let her go but her paw prints on my heart will never fade. Zena is a complete little lady! Please give her the loving home she so so deserves.

Zena is a sweet girl who was dropped off at a shelter by her owners who requested that she be euthanized. For what? Who knows? They did not want her anymore.

Well, Zena is in safe hands now and is looking for a home that wants her and will love her. The ex-owners gave little information, but from what we see so far she is a great Boxer girl. She is in dire need of a foster home so that we can learn more about her. She is in a kennel and not eating well.

PLEASE offer to foster her.

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
