Boots, along with Sadie, was rescued by a good Samaritan when his owners decided that three boxers and three children were just too much to handle. The owners decided to dispose of this problem, by dumping two of the three boxers off at the SPCA. Hearing of this, a wonderful couple who have boxers of their own knew this should never happen and offered to take both dogs. They tried to find homes themselves, but quickly realized they were not finding the right homes. They knew they needed help and contacted Adopt A Boxer Rescue so that both of these dogs could find committed, forever homes. Boots is a one year old fawn male boxer who is as laid back as they come. He weighs 70 lbs and is not done growing. He is very relaxed, but has a very playful and clumsy side (we think it gives him character). Boots is great with kids and was originally raised with three young boys. He is crate trained, but needs additional training on his housebreaking.  Boots, like so many other boxers, is not aware of his size and thinks he is a lap dog - which is one of the best traits of the breed! He is very curious and has the tendency to wander, so his forever home should have a fenced in yard so he can discover all it has to offer. His foster family has found that Boots will chase cats, so they recommend that he go to a home without cats. Boots is a wonderful dog that will require plenty of physical and mental exercise and additional training on his housebreaking and doggy manners. Are you ready for Boots? If your committed, calm and consistent Boots is for you!

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.
