Amos was used for breeding on an Amish farm until a younger dog was purchased and Amos was no longer needed. He was kept outside in a barn (crated for the majority of the time) until this past September. Amos was advertised in the paper for free (no longer needed) and a woman took him. At the lady’s house, he spent 1 month tied outside and ½ month in the basement because nobody took the time to teach Amos how to live in a home.

He is now in rescue and has been moved to a foster home with another dog. Amos is starting to feel comfortable and he is coming out of his shell. He has been fine uncrated for the past week, but he isn't alone for long periods of time. Amos will be neutered soon and brought up to date on all vet care. He LOVES human attention and this new thing to him called a belly rub.

Considering that Amos has had no training for the first eight years of his life, the progress he has made just this past week in his foster home is amazing. He deserves a loving, forever home that will continue his training and socialization. Thank you for your interest in Amos!

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.
