Buddy lived with an elderly couple who turned him into a shelter because a boxer puppy was just too much for them. For a shelter volunteer it was love at first sight so she brought him home with her. She had raised four previous young boxers, and gave them good homes for their entire lives, so why not Buddy?

Well she realized that it was quite a few years ago that she had raised a 1 year old. She had nursed him back to his proper weight, took care of his medical needs, and hired a trainer to help with obedience, but he was still a very active young dog that needed exercise and activities to tire him out.

 Buddy is a very beautiful, very active young male boxer. He had not been around a lot of other dogs in his young life, but once my young female boxer gave him the rules; "don't mount me, don't put your head on my back, don't push your luck", Buddy tried a "play bow" and it worked! Buddy is very smart!

So he can go to a home with another dog, preferably a female with a close activity level to his. And he can go to a family with children, who are willing to carry on with a young dogs training.

If you feel you can be the right leader for Buddy, please ask us about him.

 Maybe you are the right stuff for this young boxer.

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.
