Colton passed away on June 23rd.   He was the sweetest boy that claimed every couch in our house.  He especially loved children and just being around people.  We adopted Colton as a senior.  I would encourage everyone to consider seniors, as they deserve a happy ending.  We were lucky to have had Colton for over 3 years.

3/2008 - ADOPTED!

3/3/08 - Colton

Colton is a male boxer estimated to be around 7 - 8 years old. He was found as a stray and taken to a shelter. Colton has a wonderful disposition - he loves people and just wants to snuggle up close to you. Colton was cat and dog tested at the shelter and passed both with no problems. He stayed overnight at one of the volunteer's homes and appeared to be housebroken.

Colton was recently transported to our vet's office and he enjoyed meeting all of the transporters. Colton was very well behaved in the car and he napped during most of the 3 hour trip. He will be going to a foster home soon and we will update his page once he settles in there. This beautiful boy is going to be a wonderful addition to a very lucky family!

Prior to adoption:

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
