The best way to I can describe Stroker is to call him a gentle giant. Weighing 87 lbs (pure muscle) and his head reaching 33” when he is standing on all fours, all he really wants to do is to cuddle and give you butterfly kisses. He is 1 of 4 dogs that were surrendered from a home in Lancaster PA due to a child’s allergy to the dogs.

He is 4 years old (DOB 3/6/2003). He is completely housebroken. He lived with kids of all ages and loved it! He is great with all the dogs we have met and previously lived with males and females. He is good in the car and seems to enjoy rides immensely. He will “sit” when offered a treat but needs additional training to learn the other commands. I use a harness to walk him as he is a big strong boy. He likes to play ball and lets you to take the ball from his mouth easily. He is very quiet and only barked once to signal a neighbor approaching the fence. He is extremely mellow/calm for a boxer. He has never met a cat.

Please give this guy his forever home.

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
