Intake Reason - We got a call on Saturday evening from a local shelter stating someone dropped off a 3 1/2 year old intact male. The only way they would have room for him would be to euthanize another dog that been sitting on “death row.” We were all exhausted after spending a hot Saturday at an adoption event but we couldn’t let another dog die. We rescued Seamus and another life was spared.

Seamus is a gentle boxer boy. His previous owners told the shelter he was too active. Shame, shame on them! They were uneducated, non-committed people. How do you get a boxer and expect it to be non-active? ALL boxers are ACTIVE! Even Miller the old boy is active. It’s the breed. The Boxer is happy, high-spirited, playful, curious and energetic. Highly intelligent, eager and quick to learn, but can be stubborn. The Boxer is a good dog for competitive obedience constantly on the move, bonding very closely with the family. Loyal and affectionate,

Boxers are known for the way they get along so well with people. That is Seamus, happy, high-spirited, playful and energetic. Seamus is looking for a committed family. A family that will exercise him daily and allow him to be an athletic, energetic boy! Seamus will be altered this week and ready for his forever home.

If you’re an active home consider adopting Seamus 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.
