Mr. Deuce is one fantastic boy! Yesterday, we went to an AABR outreach event, and I really was not sure what to expect from him. But, to my pleasant surprise, he was truly terrific. We met a ton of different dogs and people and he was excellent with everyone. Rarely do we get dogs that are trained as well Deuce and I am loving every minute with him! He knows all his commands and is very obedient. Actually, he thrives off of commands so I would really like the next family to be on top of his training so he can be all he can be.  Deuce is relatively calm for his age. He will walk really well on a loose lead until he sees or smells something of interest--then it is 80 lbs of pure power pulling you! So, we are working on the heel command. I think Deuce will fit into most families. He will need slow, calm introductions and he will do just fine. I think he would do well living with dogs and cats. When he sees a stray cat on the street one quick "leave it" command and he'll just walk on by. He seems to have the attitude: "If you leave me alone, I'll leave you alone. If you want to play--well, it's on!" It is absolutely pertinent that the new family give him his monthly heartworm medication. By about mid-August Deuce will be ready to go to his new forever home. Will you be the lucky one to take this gem of a boy home??

Deuce is quite the stunner--he's gorgeous. He has a very serene, stoic quality about him. He seems to love to be with his people and has been very obedient with me since day one. Deuce was discovered to be heartworm positive, had his treatment, and is now recovering in foster care. I will update soon, once he is back on track with his health, but get your applications ready for this guy--he's a real catch.

6/29/08 - Deuce

Deuce was surrendered to the shelter because his family could not afford to care for a dog. He is reported to be great with kids and he previously lived with six children ranging in age from 10 months to 15 years. Deuce is housebroken and crate trained. His family reported that he is good with cats and other dogs. We are hoping to find a foster home for Deuce soon so we can learn more about him. Please submit an application for Deuce if you are interested in fostering or adopting him!

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.
