This is Gunny, back in rescue after spending 3 yrs with a family who's situation has changed, and now Gunny is looking for a new home.  I've known Gunny since he was a puppy (majorly adorable).  He's an English bulldog who has a mind of his own.  He snores, doesn't like to exercise....likes to lay on the porch, and do all things in his own time at his own speed.

I read a description on a Bulldog website which describes Gunny to a tee.  "To call a bulldog lazy or stubborn is a bit restrictive.  What appears as laziness or stubbornness is in fact an incredible capacity to prioritize.  A bulldog will never jump at your command.  He will evaluate each of your commands or invitations against his own priority setting and value system, before deciding whether it is a good thing to do and how urgently this action should be accomplished."

The first thing I did when Gunny arrived, was take him on a walk.   We went across the field and around the neighbor's house.  He chugged along behind me, and it was refreshing not to be dragged along.  I had to keep him moving lest he lock gears and stall, and then I would have to figure out how to get him back to the house.

Gunny is a gem, he's good with other dogs, and even likes cats.  He would be best with older kids, the young ones bug him.  He needs to loose a bit of weight.

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
