Carmel is a 7 year old spayed female boxer who was given up by her owners because they had to move.  She is the sweetest girl you will ever meet.  She loves life, gets excited and jumps around with a toy in her mouth when you come home from work, and loves to be around people.  She is extremely well-behaved, enjoys playing with other dogs, and is excellent on a leash (and loves walks, too).  Her little tail nub is constantly wagging.

She is up-to-date on all her vaccines and recently had a full panel of wellness blood work that was normal.

Carmel wouldn't be with us today if AABR hadn't stepped in to foster her.  The owners originally just wanted to put Carmel and her brother to sleep because they didn't think anyone would want a 7 year old dog.  At the insistence of their veterinary hospital, they called a few rescues but were unable to find a place for her on such short notice (threatened that if no one took her in 4 days they would take her to the SPCA).  When Carmel's veterinarian found out about this, she couldn't bear for such a wonderful, sweet, healthy dog to be euthanized, so she decided to foster Carmel temporarily.  When she called the owners to offer to foster Carmel for AABR, they were actually at the SPCA getting ready to drop Carmel and her brother off.  Luckily we were able to help Carmel just in the nick of time, and she is so thankful for it!

Carmel would be a wonderful family dog - she is relaxed and is used to being around children.

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
