Update -This is truly an awesome dog! He is stunning to look at. He has a strong muscular body with beautiful brindle and white markings. He has personality plus! He listens very well for a young male boxer. Gives his paw in the most adorable way I have ever seen. He gets along with all the other fourlegged fur children in our house, male and female alike. He has told me he would like his forever home to have a secure yard to run in and a friend to run with would be great. His forever home must be a special one, because he is special and deserves that. He'll be here lounging around in the meanwhile.

6/29/07 - Rico

Rico was surrendered to AABR because his family did not have the time for him. He is a very sweet boy and appears to love everyone. He is a typical 14 month old Boxer, loves to play and has lots of energy. His experience with other dogs is limited and he had not been around cats. Because he has not lived with young children, we prefer a home with older (or no) children, or one who is experienced with exuberant Boxers. Rico is house broken and crate trained. He is used to being walked on a leash. Thank you for considering Rico, we feel he will be a wonderful addition to some lucky new 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
