Update - Duke is still waiting for someone to fall in love with him. They don't get much better than this dog, aside from being deaf.  He has no issues with kids, dogs, cats, goats, you name it. He is housebroken and hand-signal trained. Caring for a deaf dog is really not that difficult, just different. Check out Rudy's Journal on our site for more information.

Duke just wants a home that will give him more attention. Please give him a chance, he will not disappoint you.

9/16/07 - Duke

Duke is an absolute sweetheart of a dog. He is still a young pup, with puppy playfulness, but is overall a well-behaved boy. He currently lives on a farm, with several other dogs, cats, goats, horses, etc. and has never had a problem with other animals of any size or gender. He has also lived with children and is very gentle with them. He loves car rides and being close to his people. He has a great temperament. Duke is deaf, but his owner/rescuer doesn't think he was born deaf based on the information she was given when she rescued him. He also will turn his head when he hears a very loud whistle on the farm, so he may have some degree of hearing. He is hand-signal trained and completely housebroken. Because he is deaf, we would like him to go to a home with a fenced yard for his safety, and preferably another dog to be his "ears".

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
