The wonderful thing about Stella Is Stella's a wonderful thing... Her
head is made out of concrete Her body is rubber and springs...
This is Stella. She is a 3 year old female Boxer, and her coat is
mahogany in color with medium brindling. She is flashy, and she is gorgeous!
Stella has been with her current family for less than 3 months, but changes
in their marital status left Stella with the short end of the stick. Stella
now sits home alone for 11 - 12 hours at a time, and aside from an
infrequent accident, she is a good girl and chews nothing. She loves to
play, and is always at the door, wiggling uncontrollably while she waits for
her people to come home.
Stella is a sweet creature, as excitable as any 3 year old Boxer, but she
does need some training. She does not realize that she has grown, and
sometimes is still mouthy and nippy like a puppy. She will also sneak up to
you and kiss you with chameleon-tongued speed and accuracy. She is used to
having another Boxer around, so she plays hard with other dogs, often
talking trash and boxing with them. They must think she’s crazy!
Her previous home was a parade of kids, dogs, cats, and puppies, and we
have been told that she was good with all of them. Her present home has two
girls ages 15 and 10, and they will miss her. They also had eye-level guinea
pigs and hamsters, and she never bothered them. Stella is getting better on
a leash but still wants lots of practice. Also good would be a fenced in
yard, as she loves to run full throttle and explore, and she will need to
learn to come when called. She is housebroken, and also does fine in a
crate, where she will sit quietly until released. She loves to play and
clown around, tearing through the house with startling speed and agility.
When she unwinds, she is lovey-dovey and insists on being with you or even
on you if she can get away with it. She is capable of turning to rubber and
oozing onto the couch, defying the very laws of physics and gravity. Miss
Stella is spayed and is current on all of her shots as of September 2008.
Her ears are natural, and her tail docked.
She is looking for a forever home where she will get all of the love and
attention she needs and deserves.

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.
