Drake is a 2 year old beautiful brindle boy who is on the smaller side. He has natural ears and tail and is relatively calm for a 2 yr old. He quickly sits on command and gives paw. He is house trained (uses a doggie door) and is used to a fenced in yard and is crate trained. He walks well on the leash and is not a barker or digger. The owners report that he is wonderful with their 4 and 6 yr old daughters and sleeps with the 6 year old. They report that he shows no food aggression, even when the children are nearby. The children like to dress Drake up and make him "pretty" and Drake seems to enjoy this....:). Drake is fine left alone in the home and does not have accidents or destroy anything. They are heartbroken over having to let him go but recently he and the 9 month old boxer boy in the home have not been getting along. The owners report that he is fine with their 7 year old female bulldog. We were able to meet Drake and saw firsthand how good he was with the daughters and the female bulldog. He was very friendly to us as we entered the home and sat immediately when asked to do so and took treats from us very gently. Please offer to foster or adopt Drake. He will be very confused and scared if he has to go to a kennel.

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
