Maddox is a beautiful boxer boy who is a bit insecure at times.  We feel Maddox would do best in a home with out small children or small animals.   He has spent some time with a trainer who reports that Maddox can be assimilated into a pack of confident dogs who will not allow him to bully them, but they would do the introductions slowly and with human supervision.  His new family should be  calm and confident individuals who have had prior experience with insecure dogs.  They should determine this relationship immediately upon meeting Maddox, so Maddox understands who is in charge.  He will need on-going structure including regular work sessions. With those conditions in place, I believe Maddox will eventually outgrow his insecurity and become a trustworthy pet.

Update - Maddox is a 4 year old fawn male who was surrendered to AABR when his family moved out of state to military housing and could not take him.

Maddox previously lived with two children (10 and 11 years old). He is currently in foster with two other dogs. We would recommend a home with a submissive female or as an only dog. Maddox would prefer a home without cats. He is completely housetrained and is used to being alone during the work day. Once he is given some time to become comfortable with new people and in new situations, he is very calm and friendly. Maddox walks well on the leash and he seems to know his basic commands.

We will update his page once we know more about him. Thank you for your interest in Maddox!

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
