UPDATE:  I can't believe Spencer is still waiting for his forever home.  He went to a potential foster home with a terrier, but the terrier would not accept Spencer.  Even the foster mom said Spencer was great, it was her dog that was the problem.  Spencer didn't even seem to mind, he enjoyed running in the yard and then relaxing in the grass and just hanging out. 

Poor Spencer is sitting in a kennel.  I visit him on weekends to walk him and play with him and he looks at me with those adoring eyes -- it breaks my heart when I have to leave him.  I brought my female boxer to the kennel's fenced play area and she & Spencer played great together.  He responds really well to his name and is very affectionate.  Won't someone please give this guy a chance.  He is a LOVE!

6/10/07 -

Spencer is an adorable 6 year old white boxer that was surrendered by his owner due to a divorce and no time for a pet.   One look at his face and it was instant love!

He appears to have had some training (knows sit and how to walk on a leash) and is friendly and affectionate.  He appears good with other dogs and wasn't bothered by a rambunctious puggle, but we are unsure about cats. 

He is being neutered today and then he will be ready to go.  Please give Spencer the loving home he deserves.

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
