Meet Remus.  He is a young gorgeous brindle boxer boy who is in need of a new home because his owner has had to go back to work and some days he is left alone for 16 hours.  He lives with a 7 yr old female who so far has learned to cope with these long hour days... not sure how? But Remus started to get stressed out by them.  Where at one point he could be left for a few hours while his family was out of the house, without a problem, Remus started to get separation anxiety.  Because of this, he has ended up spending those long hours in a crate.  

Because his mom did not know about rescue, we found him on Craig's list.  This is very dangerous for a dog, as some very nasty people search Craig's list for bait for dog fights or for lab animals.  Please spread the word about rescue. 

So Remus has lived all his short life with kids that are now 3 and 8 yrs old.  He was a natural with them, and never had to be told to be good around the kids.  And he is good with the 7 yr old female boxer he lives with and good with other dogs he has met.  He is however very stressed and a bit shy when we met him for his evaluation.  He sweetly and meekly approached us and wagged his tail.  Then he would walk away and lay down. 

Remus needs a home where he can de-stress, and learn again that his humans will come and go, but that he will only have to cope for a short time before they are back again.  He needs a family that will reward calm and relaxed behavior, and give this boy back the confidence to stand tall and wag his nub with happiness.

Will you be Remus's hero?

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
