I am saddened to tell everyone yet another sweet senior boxer has passed away yesterday. Buddy touched my heart in a deep way right from the beginning. We knew he had some serious health issues when we picked him up from the shelter, but none of us could bare the thought of him dying alone and scared.

I only had the chance to have him for 4 days, but we bonded together, slept next to each other at night, and went on some nice slow walks. My dogs were especially kind towards him, giving him gentle kisses, which I think he enjoyed very much. It was almost as if they knew what was going on too, and were letting him know it was okay to let go.

Although it is extremely heartbreaking, I am grateful that he was given the chance to pass knowing that he was cared for.

Intake Reason - Buddy is an owner surrender to a local shelter.

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.
