Update - Shelly recently lost her foster home and she is now waiting in a kennel for a new family. While in foster, Shelly steadily gained weight and she walked well with her harness. Shelly was very friendly with the other dogs she met on her walks and loved all of the people she met. She liked to find sunny spots in the house to nap.

Shelly would do better in a home where there is somebody there frequently as she develops a very strong bond to her people. Shelly is a friendly and outgoing girl who would love to get out of the kennel. Please apply to foster or adopt this sweet girl!

1/08/08 -

Shelly was surrendered to a shelter by her family.  She is a sweet, 2-3 year old fawn female.  Shelly didn't mind the crate and traveled well during her transport to our vet's office.  She is very thin. 

When she saw other dogs at the vet's office, she was very playful toward them.  Shelly will need some work with leash walking.  She appears to be a confident and happy girl. 

We will update her page once Shelly goes into a foster home and we learn more about her.

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
