Charlie and Rene came into the shelter together as strays. The volunteers at the shelter had a really difficult time getting his picture because all he wanted to do was give kisses. Our volunteer that transported him to the vet's office also indicated that he had a wonderful and gentle disposition. Charlie reacted well to the dogs he met at the vet's office. During his vet visit, it was determined that he is heartworm and lyme positive. Charlie will be beginning his heartworm treatment soon and urgently needs a foster home where he can recover from his treatment in a home environment and not in a kennel. If you are not in a position to foster or adopt, please consider donating towards his vet care. We are seeing more cases of heartworm in the northeast area - please keep your dogs on their preventative to protect them. Charlie is going to be a wonderful boy for a very lucky family - apply today for this handsome 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.
