What a happy old man!!!  Any forever homes out there?   We prefer no kids and one older female.  He may have been with other dogs and kids but he does not need that at his age.  A quiet home is best for Tyson.

Update - Imagine you are 80 years old , going deaf and all the other aging processes that go along with being 80.....your beloved family for all of those years drops you off somewhere... because you are OLD and becoming a BURDEN on the family.....NOT SO GREAT FOR YOU HUH? Nobody visits and you are left to spend the remaining days of your life ALONE and SCARED with strangers. DO YOU WANT THAT???

Well that is poor Tyson! He is sooo scared and finding it VERY difficult to adjust. Not to mention the condition this old man was in when I picked him up! He is so skinny and has the worst sinus infection! He could not sleep for the first 5 days because his head was so stuffed up. He is finally feeling better and learning that he is loved. All he wants is FOOD, SHELTER and a little love.

Meet Tyson!.  Tyson was surrendered to the local kill shelter by his owners with the request that he be euthanized.  Why?  Well, because he is old.  He is a love of an old guy.  He is good with other dogs, kids, and all people. He is housebroken and had the run of the house where he lived for 12 years.  He has been vetted and is reported to be in good health!  He is a very handsome man as you can see.  He melted me with that loving face.

In our disposable society, even our loyal companions of 12 years are disposable.  Yes, Tyson is 12 years old.  It is a very sad situation to witness.  I comforted him at the kennel after his bath promising him that some kind person will offer to give him his forever home for the time he has left.  He is a wonderful Boxer that deserves a committed home where he knows he is appreciated.

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
