Ella has been in her foster home for 2 weeks now. She is a sweet girl and very eager to please. I asked my hubby to ignore her her for a week to allow her space and let her come around on her own. She now jumps in bed in the a.m. and lays between us. She is still a little shy but once she realizes your gentle and just want to love her she responds. Ella desperately wants to be loved, and her willingness to please has proven that. She is very obedient, you only have to tell her once what you want and she won't hesitate to comply. She knows sit, stay, come, and paw. I also taught her down, which she caught on to in 3 1/2 minutes. She is a smart girl.

Ella loves walks and doesn't pull on the leash. She gets along with both my males and loves children. However, she is not crazy about cats, so a home with no cats please. She has learned to wait her turn at feeding time, rather then the barge right in which she use to do when she first came. She's # 3 when it's time to chow down and waits till I call her name. I am so proud of her and what she has accomplished in such a short time. It's amazing!

Ella will only go to a calm and patient home, one that will love her, show her gentle leadership and allow her to grow with no pressure. This girl is very special to us , so her new family will have to prove how special they are. In return Ella will smother you with boxer kisses & wiggles of excitement.

Update - Ella is being returned to rescue after 2.5 years in her home. Her previous owner reports that Ella is very timid around men. She lived with four children, ranging in age from 9 to 20 and Ella usually slept with the young girl at night. Ella also lived with a two year old male boxer and several birds.

Ella is crate trained, but she needs to go out frequently. She loves children and is much more outgoing with them.

Ella is very scared in the kennel - we are in urgent need of a foster or forever home for her. Apply today if you can provide a quiet and patient home for this sweet girl!

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
