With saddened and heavy hearts we must inform you that our dear, sweet Zoey passed on January 2, 2010.  We still are in shock and can’t seem to make much sense of the situation.  An ultrasound was performed early morning on January 2^nd which revealed that Zoey had intestinal cancer.  The prognosis was not good.  We made the difficult decision to euthanize her as she had suffered far too much already.  I can honestly say this was one of the most difficult things to experience. 

 Zoey was the sweetest dog and we are happy to have enjoyed the last year and a half with her.  Although her “forever home” time was far too short, we believe in our hearts that she enjoyed her days with us.  We miss her greatly and are trying to fill the deafening silence in our home.  This has not been very successful.  Hopefully time will help us heal but we have never been so attached to any pet before.  There was something so special about our Zoey – we can’t really explain it. 

 Thank you for bringing Zoey to us.  She made us smile each and every day!  What a gift!!!!

5/2008 - ADOPTED

5/14/08 -

Zoey is a 5yr old fawn female boxer.  We pulled Zoey from a very full shelter in PA where her owner left her.  Zoey lived with kids and 12 cats. Zoey is super friendly and sweet.

Zoey has natural ears and a docked tail and is very friendly towards other dogs. Zoey is totally housebroken and fully vetted. She needs a super home like all of our dogs do.

Please help save a life.

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
