Beautiful Brutus is hiding inside!

Hi Sandy,
You can add that Heidi has held her present weight for the last  1- 1/2 years and is one of the joys of my life.  Also, that it took about 10 months to get her down to her correct weight by simply keeping her on a normal diet and taking both my schnauzers for walks every day.  After that she has been so full of energy and fun she keeps herself slim and keeps me laughing at her silly little antics every day.

Poor little Brutus needs someone to show him how good life can be without over indulging in food.

See Heidi, before and after...

6/3/08 -

Brutus was owned by an elderly couple in Ohio and he lived with four other dogs. When the wife passed away, the husband kept the smallest dog and took the other four to the pound.

Brutus is already neutered and extremely overweight. He is housebroken and the previous owner reports that Brutus is a kind and gentle boy. Brutus will be going to his foster home this weekend, where he will start a diet and exercise plan. We will update his page once we know more about him.

Thank you for your interest in Brutus!

On a Personal Note: My mom rescued a 42 lb. miniature Schnauzer from an elderly couple about a year and a half ago.  She was a ball with 4 legs.  Today Heidi is a happy, healthy 23 lb dog that can run and play.  Brutus needs a hero too!

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
