Samantha is a 9 month old English bulldog/boxer mix, and very very cute!  We got a call Friday night that someone had a 9 month old English Bulldog in their backyard and they thought it looked like it was dying.  Sam was gotten off Craig's list!!! They told us the pup was kept outdoors most of the time for the last two weeks since they had it.  Well it's been in the 90's!

Just for the record, no dog, no less a boxer or english bulldog is meant to live out in 90 degree temperatures!  Man has domesticated and bred the dog to a point where they can not survive outside.  We told them they should bring her inside to cool her down, and apparently their house was too small for a second "inside" dog, so they decided to surrender her.  Ahhhhhhhhhhh!

Sam was probably close to having heat stroke, but was starting to recover when we got to her about an hour later.  She is sooooo sweet, and she was living with a bunch of children and reported to have played wonderfully with a male pit bull.  She has some training but is very strong and will need a good leader to get down the basics while she is still a puppy.

Right now she needs a foster home!  Will you be Sam'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
