We are now looking for his forever home.

11/11/07 - Oreo

 This is Oreo – black and white and sweet all over. Yes, you read right – Oreo’s a black boxer baby. Let me tell you a little bit about him. I’ve been fostering dogs for years now and I don’t think I’ve ever met a puppy quite as smart as this boy. Remember, he came from a puppy mill, and until we were able to rescue him, his world consisted of a small cage with minimum human contact. The world that we’ve introduced him to would have put any of us into shell shock mode – but not Oreo. He takes every bit of life in stride – soaking up as much of the world as he can and then ready to take on the next adventure. He is doing great in his housebreaking – amazing for a puppy that up until 48 hours ago had never seen the outside of a cage. He’s so eager to learn that we’ve already begun clicker training and he’s showing me that HE’s the one that can make that clicker work and that treats are not only appreciated but expected!

Unfortunately, Oreo needs the care of our orthopedic specialist – apparently his knee cap is not in place and surgery is required to align his leg so that he can have a healthy, active and happy future. We’ve had other puppies come into rescue with this problem and once they have recovered from their surgeries, they develop into very normal adults without a care in the world. We anticipate the same outcome for Oreo. As expected, Oreo’s surgery will be quite expensive and we are asking for your help by making a donation to AABR – you can earmark your gift ‘For Oreo’ and of course, we’ll keep you posted pre and post surgery.

If you are home most of the day and think a puppy is right for your home, fill out an application for Oreo – I have a feeling he’s not going to be in foster care for long.

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
