Thunder's previous family could not keep up with the exercise requirements and needs of a 10 month old puppy so they took him to the shelter where AABR rescued him.

His Foster home writes:

Thunder (aka Speed Racer) This sweet baby decided a cold rainy day was a good day to go tromping through the woods and get lost. Rob and I got soaked, cold, dirty, and just plain miserable searching what seemed like the endless woodland forest to find him in the same condition we were. He was sooo happy we found him. Though he was lost for several hours in a strange area he came right up to me and my big scary other half. He seemed to say “Teresa what took you so long?” That’s a baby boxer for you. Endless optimism.

This bouncy boy was turned in to rescue because he was “too energetic” for his previous family. I have had many boxers in my life and have yet to find a 10 month old who isn’t “energetic”. They should all be named mischief at 10 months of age. But this guy is sweetness itself though he has zero household manners and no crate training, he is very sweet and is willing to learn the lessons he will need in life.

Are you prepared for the leadership and exercise requirements an adolescent boxer needs? If so then apply now to adopt Thunder our Speed Racer boy.

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.
