Angel is back with her foster family because she was not getting along with the adopter's family cat. Other than that she was the perfect pet: housebroken, knows how to sit and come, and reportedly got along great with their 7 and 12 year old children.

She's not a cat lover but she sure is a dog lover! My 2 boxer boys Oscar and Brady, ages 2 and 3, welcomed her back into the pack with no problems. Angel is just as sweet loving and playful when we first met her back in October. She so deserves her own home and not being bounced around from one to another. Will you be the lucky family that makes her New Years wish come true and give her what she really deserves --her very own home? She will be forever grateful.

Update -Angel has been with her foster family for a week now. She is just a joy full of energy and after learning her place in the pack and what is expected of her, she is feeling right at home. My 2 boys Oscar and Brady have welcomed her and after much play time together are all ready for a nap. Angel listens very well, comes when called, knows how to sit and when its time to go out sits right down and lets me put her leash on. She loves to go for walks and is great and stays right by your side. She is very good with her food...  they all 3 eat together.

Angel will make a great addition to any home especially with a boy or boys she can play with. She is so full of love... always comes to you with a big smile and is all wiggles and kisses.

Will you be the lucky family to share her love?

PS: Elvis is still waiting a chance...

9/30/07 - Angel and Elvis

Here is the dynamic mother and son combo, Angel and Elvis. According to the owner the dogs accidentally were let out of the gate by contractors and ran loose in the neighborhood until they were picked up and taken to the shelter. It was all downhill from there. These two were frightened beyond description, especially Elvis. They were kept in their pen for a month.  They were found by AABR and rescued in a nick of time as they were going to be euthanized. The two were brought here to my kennel and after a long walk were put in the play yard. You could just see the anxiety melt away, what a joy to behold. I was nervous at how they would be the next day as they were once again in a kennel pen. I didn't have to worry because two happy wiggly boxers greeted me in the morning. These guys are perfect, very devoted to each other as only a mother and son can be. (we moms can relate) Wouldn't it be wonderful to find a home where they don't have to be separated? You wouldn't have to worry about the dogs not getting along....one obstacle removed already. Is your heart big enough to hold both these sweet souls?

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
