Lucas is a fun, sweet dog who loves cuddling, belly rubs, squeeky toys, walks in the park, and hiking adventures. He would respond best to a strong and caring leader. He has been living in the city for a few months, but this has been a tough adjustment for him. There is a lot of stimulus in his new neighborhood that puts him on edge. Lucas would be happier in a quieter environment, preferably where he could run off leash in a fenced yard. We have been working with a behaviorist to help Lucas adjust better to his new environment and to work through some insecurities he has shown with new things and people. We completed obedience class with him and he is a smart dog who loves taking commands in exchange for treats. Lucas mainly gets along with other dogs, and it is easy to tell how he will respond to another dog. When he finds the right playmate, he loves to run and chase and jump. While Lucas is a playful and energetic dog, he is relatively calm inside the house.  If you can provide a forever home for Lucas that meets his needs, apply to adopt him today!

Lucas is being surrendered to AABR because of the allergies of a family member.

Lucas is a 3 year old fawn boy who has lived with kids. He is very gentle with children and enjoys playing with all of the kids in the neighborhood. Lucas is crate trained and housetrained. The volunteer that met Lucas indicated that he is a very friendly boy with people. Lucas enjoys playing with other dogs at the dog park and he often goes right into a play bow when he meets new dogs on walks.

Lucas is going to be a wonderful boy for a family.

If you are interested in adopting this dog, please first read our Adoption Procedure, by clicking on the link at the top of this page, 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.
