I cry as I write that Gentle Storm has gone to the rainbow bridge.  He had 3 severe convulsions in the last 24 hours that has taken the life out of this majestic sweet soul.  He was in Colleen's loving arms as he made his journey and he will be greeted by our other precious friends at the gate. 

We all gave Gentle Storm the best 2 weeks of his long loving life.  He had a successful life as he had loved everyone unconditionally his entire life.  He did not die in a cold shelter but  in the warm loving arms of one who adored him and never considered him "too old" like his past owners.  Both Colleen and Gentle Storm cried together over the past two weeks as he pined for his owners and Colleen for Gentle Storm's broken heart.

If we as humans only went through life like Gentle Storm it would be such a wonderful world.

Meet Gentle Storm, the most handsome senior dog I have ever met. This poor soul was dumped at the overcrowded shelter by the only family he has ever known because, "he was too old." Imagine being 77 years old and your family deserts you because you were too old!! I could see it in his eyes, the first couple of days Storm was so sad, confused, and depressed having been deserted. He would cry softly, and I couldn't help but to cry silently with him. It broke my heart, but what he needs now is confident but gentle leadership.

He seems to really enjoy the company of other calm dogs, but it is not necessary that he goes to a home with another dog. Storm is a sweet, caring, calm, and loyal companion and needs a forever home that can reciprocate that kind of unconditional love and dedication.

Please open your heart and home for gentle Storm. This boy deserves the best in comfort, peace, and love!

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
