Joey is doing better each day. After 4 short days, he already appears to be gaining a little weight and lets a little more of his personality out with each day that passes.  He is housebroken and clearly lived in a house before.  All he wants to do is cuddle up and sneak on the couch!  He is still very calm but shows more interest in playing each day. He is a real sweetheart that just wants lots of affection!

Joey is a young male boxer that was picked up as a stray roaming the city streets in the Scranton area. He was brought by animal control to a local shelter. Joey did not like the cage but once out did very well and warmed up quickly. This was the 3rd stray boxer in less then 2 months picked up in the Scranton area as a stray. Joey was crawling with fleas and you can see he has had a rough time lately.

Joey has natural ears and a docked tail. He is totally housebroken. He was boarded at our vets as there was no where to put him and was neutered, de-wormed updated on shots and heartworm tested negative.

Joey is very quiet and calm and needs a home with patient people that will let him over come his trauma of being homeless slowly. A home that knows a young boxer needs a lot of exercise. He is 61 lbs and can use to put on some weight. He is a very strong boy and would love a boxer savvy home. A home that knows what the breed is all about. Joey is about 1-2 yrs old.

 Joey is a sweet dog that just needs to know security and kindness and love. We will post more info on him as we learn it.

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
