Dobbs, known as Bentley in his current home, is being returned to rescue to find a better fit for him. He is now estimated to be around 3 years old. Bentley's favorite things are sleeping and people watching. Bentley has participated in a doggy manners 101 class. He mastered sit, lay, come, place (he'll go to his dog bed and stay there until you tell him "free") and leave it (with food or anything you don't want him to eat or take). Bentley is incredibly loving once he's bonded with you and he loves to cuddle. Bentley's a great jogging partner and likes to go on 2 and 3 mile runs along the river, or run along side a bike. He walks well on leash - he currently uses a gentle leader when he walks in town or in crowded areas. Bentley's very smart and observant. He also knows some fun tricks like dance, crawl, and roll over. He loves to show off these tricks for treats. Bentley does great in the car, he actually loves car rides. He is used to being crated for half a day because of work schedules. Bentley doesn't seem to mind being crated and will go on his own when you tell him "in your house". His energy level is a bit much for smaller dogs - he loves to pounce and box with his front paws. He has gone to dog parks and plays well with dogs his size. Bentley is a great companion - he just loves being with people. He'll do whatever you're doing from napping to running as long as he can be with you. If you can provide a forever home for Bentley, put in your application today!

Dobbs is a 2 year old white boxer who was found as a stray. The shelter reported that he was good with other dogs and easy to walk on leash. Dobbs is now in a foster home with a female boxer. He is an active, high energy boy - Dobbs would benefit from a fenced in yard to run and play in. He knows his basic commands and he is very sweet with people. This young boy loves to play!

We will update his page when we know more about him. Thank you for your interest in Dobbs!

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
