Meet Connor – a wonderfully well behaved 4 ½ year old brindle boy who was surrendered to the Humane Society because his person’s schedule required him to be away from home long periods of time and Conner was spending more and more time home alone, in the crate.

He enjoyed his ride in the car and made himself comfortable in the backseat for the 45 minute ride home. When we got home he was a little quite, but went to sleep on his dog bed (even though he tried to join me in my big bed) he made a big sigh and snoozed thru the night. Conner is completely house trained and crate trained, however he has not been crated since he has been at my house. He has complete run of the first floor of my row home while I am at work and has done beautifully - no accidents since he’s been with me.

He listens well and knows basic commands. He sleeps in my room at night, on his big doggie bed. Conner loves his long, daily walks to the park, where he has been making lots of new friends, both human and canine. He particularly enjoys the company of the other Boxers he meets. He tends to be quiet and serious when one on one with me, but likes to play tug of war and chase me when we go to the park and is the happiest when he is in a group of people and other dogs.

Conner does well on his leash and only pulls when he sees another dog. I’m working with him to correct this behavior, so he will remain calm during his walks thru the park, but for the most part, Conner does well on a leash.

I hope that Conner can find a family that can spend time with him and give him all the love and attention he so deserves – this sweet, good boy is a keeper and will be a wonderful addition to his new forever home!

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
