Zeus has been in his foster home for a month now and aside from some early counter surfing, has adjusted beautifully. He mastered the doggie door in less than fifteen minutes and loves the freedom to go into the fenced yard to play and sunbathe on the deck. He is still very much the puppy at two years old, curious, loves to play, whether with his older foster brother King or our eleven year old nephew, who Zeus adores. Zeus knows his hand commands for sit and down, he is quick to learn and is currently working on paw and walking at heel, which he has shown great improvement during his morning and evening walks to the park. He is a great watch dog and alerts our family to strangers and noises outside with his deep bark. He loves to spend time with his pack (family) and is currently laying at my feet as I write this update.

Meet Zeus...

owner surrender to shelter

What a pleasant young man. Zeus (though he reminded me of Marmaduke) was very happy to get out of the shelter. He was very playful and seemed to really like my 13 year old son. He is a big boy (very tall), could use to gain a few pounds though. He sat and laid down on command. And loved milkbones.

He did very well on the 1 1/2 hour car ride to the kennels. If I didn't have a full house I would have fostered him myself. Someone please give this big guy a wonderful home. I have no doubt that he will be a wonderful addition to your family.

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
