On May 5, 2007, we adopted Sunflower.  She settled into our home nicely, and is such a sweetheart.  Sunflower was such an energetic girl and after a few months, we decided that Sunny needed a brother (experience told us that Sunny wouldn't do well with another female).  We were looking for a laid back boy who could balance her craziness.  So I contacted Jen at the rescue, who mentioned a boy named Otis that had just come in and needed a forever home. 

So in August 2007, Otis came to his new forever home and settled nicely into the family with a great attitude and love, but we noticed he was shy to give kisses and wag his tail.  It has taken awhile, but Otis now completely trusts us and is happy to give as much affection as we give him, which is a TON!  Our family was now complete (or so we thought).  In February, 2008, Jen from the rescue called and asked if we could foster a 5 month old white deaf boy.  We adopted Petey in March 2008.

All of our adoptive kids are great, and we wouldn't trade them for anything.  They are truly a part of the family and we couldn't imagine life with them.

8/2007 - ADOPTED!

7/29/07 -

Otis is 12-18 month old flashy fawn boxer. Otis has natural ears and a docked tail. Otis was picked up as a stray by a local PA shelter. They were so crowded they asked us to take him asap. He rides well in the car and is very friendly. He is a very nice dog. Otis is neutered and will be updated on his shots asap. He walked well on lead so far. He seems to be friendly to other dogs at this point.

He is one handsome boy.

Prior to adoption:

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
