-Rambo is still waiting for his forever home. He is a highly intelligent
athletic boy that is eager to learn. Rambo needs an in charge leader. A
leader that will set the rules and consistently make him follow. This boy is
a typical adolescent boxer that will fill the role of leader if he thinks it
is vacant. He also needs a K9 owner that has the time to exercise Rambo
physically and mentally.
This boy is agile so someone into agility training would be great! Rambo
would like a home where someone is home most of day or has the luxury of
taking him to work with them.
He needs work on his dog socialization skills; not people canine
socialization skills. For now he would do best in a home with no other dogs
and definitely no cats.
If you are committed to this process, put in your application to adopt
Rambo today.

- Rambo
This is Rambo, another young boxer that had no room to
run. Rambo's owners lived in an apartment with 2 young children and no yard
for Rambo to run. Sad but true this is yet another case of someone taking on
this intelligent, athletic breed and not educating themselves on the needs
of this breed.
The Boxer is happy, high-spirited, playful, curious and energetic. Highly
intelligent, eager and quick to learn, but can be stubborn and sneaky. The
Boxer is a good dog for competitive obedience. Constantly on the move,
bonding very closely with the family. Loyal and affectionate, Boxers are
known for the way they get along so well with children. A well brought-up
and properly socialized Boxer will also get along with his own kind and
other household pets. Known visitors will be welcomed boisterously. They are
always keen to work and play. Boxers need lots of human companionship. They
can be rather boisterous and even in old age are still extremely athletic.
This breed is noted for courage. Training should start young and be firm and
consistent. This breed requires a dominant owner. An active, athletic breed,
Boxers need daily work or exercise, as well as a long brisk, daily walk. All
dogs, regardless of size or breed, need to be taken on daily walks, hikes,
jogs, runs, bike rides or rollerblading. Taking your dog for a walk is an
important ritual in keeping your dog balanced. A lack of exercise and
the mental energy a proper walk releases can cause many behavioral problems
in a dog. Rambo needs a chance to be a great dog. A leader committed to
letting Rambo be the boxer he is! If you are committed to daily exercise put
in an application to adopt Rambo today!

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.
