Have you ever walked an 8 month old puppy down the streets of NYC without looking like the puppy is walking you? I had not until today when I met Scooby! He is the most well adjusted puppy I have ever met. Scooby has come to us from the CACC in Manhattan, another classic "puppy got too big story."  Their loss is our gain! He walks incredibly well on the leash, rides beautifully in the car and is relatively calm for a boxer puppy! I thought I was going to be in over my head taking in a puppy but he has pleasantly surprised me. Almost immediately upon meeting us, he patiently laid by our table at an outdoor lunch cafe with my friend and I as we ate lunch- I don't even think my adult dogs would do that! All he wants to do is play when he meets other dogs, male or female, big or small. Its the most adorable thing because he is so skinny right now that when he boxes with his big goofy paws you just can't help but laugh. He is super friendly to every human he meets. I even think he has baby envy as I found him drawn to small children on the street. As he has not learned all his manners yet I think a home with older children would be best because he does still jump up on people in the excitement of the hello. He would love a yard to run around in and maybe a sibling to run around with. Right now he is so thin I can pick him up and carry him around (I admit to carrying him like a small child) but hopefully he will leave my house "well fed" as most of the other skinny dogs do! Hurry and get in your apps for this guy, I don't think you want to miss out on this one!

Scooby is now being fostered outside of NYC with another boxer and is loving country life!

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
