Ricky is being returned to rescue because the family who adopted him is having another baby and they also report that Ricky and their mother's male dog are not getting along well. Ricky is currently living with two toddlers and two female boxers - he does wonderful with everyone. Ricky would love a new home with a female boxer to play with. Ricky will be going into foster this week. Please offer to adopt this handsome brindle boy!

9/04/07 -

Ricky is a very handsome, healthy looking young Boxer who was found lost and running loose with a female, Molly, they are clearly best buddies from the same home and adore one another. They ended up in an SPCA shelter and are now safe with AABR in kennels, looking for a foster or forever home, either together or individually.

Ricky is very friendly and outgoing, isn't over exuberant and doesn't jump up; to add to that, this boy walks very nicely on the leash too, with just a gentle reminder here and there. He listens very well and pays attention. This is a great dog who loves people and other dogs and is looking for a new family to call his own, just like his companion.

Being a young dog, he will enjoy plenty of exercise and walks to keep him calm and relaxed around the house and well socialized; so please bear this in mind when considering him. To add to his list of attributes, Ricky also travels very well in the car and was fine when crated.

He needs to gain just a few pounds as life on the road has been a little hard this past week, but he isn't a huge boy, which is great if you're looking for a buddy to cuddle up with on these chilly fall nights!

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.
