I am thinking if you look up the word “adorable” in the dictionary, you may find Fred’s picture in the definition. This guy is one very adorable and remarkably sweet young boy.

Fred was found tied to a tree in the city park, with a severely broken leg. We have no idea how long he was there or what transpired prior to his being tied there. Beside the broken leg, there were abrasions that were indicative of being hit by a car. We will probably never know for sure what happened. One would never know from meeting him he had ever endured such a tragedy, his disposition remains as sweet and stable as anyone could ever imagine. When Fred was taken to our regular vet, it was determined he should be seen by an orthopedic surgeon to ensure the best repair possible. We feel extremely fortunate to have such excellent medical care available when we need it the most. Fred had his surgery today and the surgeon is convinced he will recover completely. Contributions for help with Fred’s medical bills are urgently needed and will be greatly appreciated. We anticipate his medical bills to total between $1000 and $1200. He will have an 8-10 week recovery period where he will need to be kept on a leash and restrained from strenuous exercise or stairs, but other than that, he can live a normal life. Fred would love to have you consider fostering him during his recovery. We estimate Fred to be about 18 months old. He is especially sweet and even when initially brought into the vet’s office with the dangling leg, he was giving kisses to the technicians. He seems to be calm and very well behaved. He has a very irresistible expression, one look at that face and the heart begins to melt. He is a rather small boy, weighed in at 59 pounds. He does not appear to have been neglected or been on his own for long.
We know the family who adopts this boy will give thanks daily for being fortunate enough to have him as part of their family. Thanks for considering Fred and for your monetary contributions to help with his expenses. We are so indebted to all of you who step up to help in times such as this.

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.
