Bacchus lost his battle with Lymphoma on 11/9/10.  He is another of the many boxers to succumb to that terrible disease…….

Bacchy came to our family 2 short years ago. He was fostered by Pam and Ken Rowlands, where he held a very special place in Pam’s heart. He was a small boy with a cute face, a beautifully marked brindle coat, a full tail and the most gorgeous light brown eyes.

He was really glad to have a large fenced in yard and a sister, Fancy, to run with. They would bullet run laps every day and play for hours. He was shocked to find he could not walk on water; he fell into our fish pond only 1 time. He was very smart and he figured things out quickly, and then he did not make that mistake again. He loved tugging games with Brian and cuddling on the couch.

We live on a heavily traveled road. Starting from the 1^st day he would run to the fence every time he heard a motorcycle coming, he would bark and wag his tail, when it passed without stopping he would drop his shoulders and walk back to the patio. He certainly never forgot the person he loved that rode a motorcycle….. The people he made connections with were very strong.

Bacchy developed a very close relationship with Carol. She was able to help him overcome many of his fears and anxieties. They loved to take walks, go to the park, play hide and seek, and take naps on the couch. She was his foundation and his strongest supporter.

Rest in peace Little Man……you will be missed…

Nadine and Carol

Prior to adoption:

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
