Sweetie has been in my home for over a week now and she has been fantastic. I am so impressed with Miss Sweetie's brain! I really think she is one of the smartest dogs I have ever met. She came to me knowing nothing. In a little over a week she has learned "sit", "paw", "crate", "fetch", "come", and her name. I am no trainer, so her ability to learn and pick up things easily is a testament to her greatness--not mine! Sweetie is one loyal dog. She always comes to me when called, and has a great  natural recall. I would love to see Sweetie go somewhere outside of the city. Although she is coming out of her shell here more each day, I really feel that she would be best as a suburban or country girl. The noises and unpredictability of the city scares Sweetie a bit. I just see her thriving in an open yard with a doggie pal or two! Sweetie seems to really love dogs and gains more confidence in herself when they are around. She is super playful, energetic, fast, smart, and wonderfully athletic. Sweetie does need to gain a bit of trust in people. Slow, calm introductions and leadership always does the trick with Sweetie. Continued positive socialization with people is key. She will need a leader and someone who wants to see Sweetie be all that she can be. This girl is one dynamite gal, and I just love having her around! Did I mention that she absolutely loves a belly rub and to play a game of fetch? And just look at how gorgeous she is--I can't begin to explain the comments I get about her every time we go out for! a walk! That's just an added bonus. :)

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.
