Soldier has been with us since the beginning of July. We immediately fell in love with him. He was scared and confused at first but soon settled into our home where he gets the attention and caring he lacked. He loves other dogs. After a few days and slow introductions, he became fast friends with our male and female Boxers. He loves to play and run which is why we recommend a female dog and require a fenced in yard.  He is a typical Boxer puppy with lots of energy. He loves to play with toys. He plays tug of war with the braided rope toys, chases and pounces around with a rubber dinosaur, and rolls balls around with his nose. It never fails, he always rolls the ball under the furniture then he tries to reach it, pushing it further back so he will stare at it until we get it back to him. He's so cute!! He keeps himself occupied when my other two dogs tire of him. Soldier has discovered a taste for dog treats- he didn't know they were edible at first. He is good with food- I can take it away from him and he's willing to share. He is completely housebroken- no accidents at all! He does well in a crate while we are working throughout the day. He sleeps in a dog bed in our bed room. He loves to cuddle but always seeks permission before getting onto the bed or furniture. He is such a sweetheart! Soldier seems to appreciate this new life. The way he looks at me with his chestnut- colored eyes melts my heart!! Just like any other Boxer puppy, he needs a home that can provide patience, discipline and training. In addition to love and attention, of course. He has learned to sit and is working on lay down and shake. He is now 11 months old. Maybe he'll celebrate his 1st birthday in his forever home??

7/07/08 - Soldier

Soldier is a beautiful 9 month old boxer puppy who was surrendered to the shelter because his family bought him and then realized they had a 35 pound weight limit where they lived.

He is housebroken and reported to be good with children. Soldier has been neutered and is up to date on all vet care. He is an active puppy who needs some TLC and socialization. Soldier would love a fenced in yard and another dog to play with. He is now in a foster home with two other dogs. We will update his page once we know more about him. Thank you for your interest in Soldier!

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
