Update - Miller has lost his home again - and has since been moved to a different foster home in New York. We will update Miller's page once he has time to adjust to his new foster placement. Thank you for your interest in Miller!

We love our Old Man but really want him to have the home he truly deserves. His own family to love and adore. He is just the greatest dog to live with. Always funny, always wants a belly rub (or 3), always looking for the next treat.

Please adopt Miller today.

Miller is still waiting for someone to be his forever home. We adore the "old man" but would love to see him in his own home where he can spend his time sleeping in the sun and getting tons of belly rubs. We love our senior boxer and find him to be no trouble at all. He doesn't ask for much and just enjoys being with us. Oh, by the way....Miller loves truck rides. The bigger the truck the more he likes it. He thinks he is king of the world. So Proud.... Even though we have to lift him in and out of the truck. Please consider adopting Miller or one of the other senior boxers. They need less exercise, are usually well housebroken and have outgrown the destructive chewing stage of a puppy. They have learned the house rules and are pretty world wise and people savvy. Miller sleeps longer than any of the others and always claims the softest bed! to sleep on. After all he has earned it.

Update - This is one sweet guy. Miller is an older gentleman, but has the heart and soul of a much younger dog. He plays well with other dogs for short periods of time but would rather light play and relaxing walks. He has a curious hop step when he walks but gets around just fine. Miller loves long naps on his orthopedic bed (who wouldn't), appreciates belly rubs and a tasty cookie! He is housebroken, crate trained, walks well on the leash, knows all his basic commands.

Miller prefers older children since the younger ones may be too much for him with there high pitched noise and sudden movements. Miller likes to meet new people and looks forward to the day when someone will adopt him and give him the home he deserves.

Will you please consider adopting Miller or one of the other senior boxers? These dogs need less exercise, are usually well housebroken and have passed the puppy stage of chewing and destruction. All the seniors want is good company, a soft bed, and the love they have truly earned.

4/29/08 - Miller

11 year old Miller was surrendered to the Brooklyn Shelter. His owner was moving and couldn't take him.  But he assured us that Miller loves men, women, children, other dogs AND cats!!!!!  He also said that Miller is very loving, very obedient, and housetrained.  Poor Miller was very uncomfortable at the shelter. He has old sores on the paws and legs/knees/elbows. He clearly appreciates caresses. After 11 years to just leave your dog at a kill shelter. I just don't understand people!!!

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
