Intake Reason - Owner surrender. Owner has changed jobs and is working 10+ hours and Dexter is not getting the attention or exercise he needs.

Dexter is a large beautiful brindle boxer boy (around 80 lbs) who is 4 1/2 years old and very friendly.  He has natural ears and a docked tail. He is being given up because the owner's business went under and he now has a new job and Dexter is alone 10+ hours a day.  The owner reports that he is great with their grandchildren (ages 1 & 6) and their outside cat and inside small dog.  He even shares bones and food with the other dog (and now and then the cat and he share food when he can get into it..:).  The owner reports that he has gotten along well with male and female small dogs in the neighborhood.  He and the neighbor's male rottie (un-neutered) did not care for each other so for this reason, he may be best placed with small dogs or a larger female dog. 

He was extremely friendly and obedient as soon as we met him and was giving us kisses within no time.  His little nub just kept wagging so fast!  He totally loved all the attention he was getting!  He was very calm and obedient.  He is completely housetrained and even when left alone for 10+ hours will not have an accident.  He and the owner's small dog spend their days (and sleep there at night) in a small sunroom and he does not touch a thing.  He is looking for a new forever home who will love him and let him spend the rest of his days running, playing and getting lots of attention!

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.
