Meet Captain. He and his brother Chief were surrendered by a backyard breeder because they could not sell. They were not properly cared for, no puppy vaccines, and underweight. They called AABR and asked if we would assist in placing 4 boxers. We did.

Chief is a typical puppy. Puppies require a lot of work, as they do not know right from wrong and must rely on the owner for guidance. It is critical for puppy socialization that they interact often with humans, other dogs and be exposed to a variety of objects and situations. Puppies should be enrolled in a basic obedience class which help with there socialization. Housebreaking can begin by the time the puppy is two to three months old, although they usually do not have enough control of their bladder to be completely housebroken until they are six months.  Puppies need plenty of exercise to keep them happy and healthy. If you work from your home, have time and love to give to this boy. Do you have a doggy day care or a dog walker? If do put in your application to adopt Chief 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. 

Adoptions Fee: $300
