It is with a sad heart that I write to you to tell of the loss of my best friend, Holly Barry.  I lost her to cancer on 8-12-10.  She was diagnosed by Cornell Animal Hosp in Ithaca, NY - where they found a cancerous mass on the right side of her heart and another on her spleen.  They gave Holly a time frame of only 2-6 months.  She lived almost 4 months longer and was a joy right to the end!

I would like to thank the people at Adopt a Boxer Rescue for helping me bring Holly into my life and I am also thankful for 3 years of unconditional love and joy from Holly!

God Bless You All

9/2007 - ADOPTED!

8/19/07 - Holly

Holly has arrived! She has had a very big adventure indeed. A plane ride north, then a short time at a temporary foster home in NY, then a road trip down to Philadelphia. She made an appearance at the Petsmart in Broomall, where despite all of the stress she has been under she proved herself to be a lovely young lady. She is once again in a temporary foster home until she can be checked over by the vet, and then she will be ready for a new family. Her foster Mom reports that she is one fabulous girl. Her manners are impeccable. She walks very nicely on a leash, is crate and housetrained, and her disposition matches her sweet little face. We will provide more details as we have them, so check back soon. I'd suggest getting that application in very soon, because some lucky family will snatch her up before you know it!! Don't YOU want to be that lucky family????

Before 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
