My name is Baxter and I'm a sweet 18-month-old brindle Boxer who needs a forever home. My original owners moved away, leaving me chained to a tree. I don't know why they did that, since I loved them and thought I was a member of their family. That time was very frightening, but a wonderful neighbor came and rescued me from that chain. He took me to his home and gave me food to eat and a nice warm bed on which to sleep. Boy, was I ever a lucky boy!

Unfortunately, my original family must not have known about heartworms (which could have killed me) and didn't have me on heartworm prevention, so I tested positive for heartworms. I feel that I'm extra-lucky, because I have been treated for the heartworms, and my doctor says I am now heartworm-free.

I was with a foster family in North Carolina before coming to AABR. I am housetrained, and promise to have good house manners. I do enjoy being a couch-potato, so if I could have a home that would give me a comfy couch, that would be fabulous! My foster dad taught me all my basic commands, and I promise not to jump up on people unless they ask me to. I enjoyed the company of the female Boxer in my previous foster home. I really love to be around humans, and would love a family where I can be the center of attention. Do you have that special forever home for me?

Baxter is neutered, current on vet care, and tested to be heartworm-free. He was flown to AABR by the Greg Biffle Foundation. Apply today to adopted Baxter!

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.
