Pluto is doing super in his foster home. Here are new pictures of him--he is a gorgeous, healthy fawn boy as you can see. Pluto knows all his commands and listens really well. He is wonderful on leash walks! Even in the large fenced in area, he will just stick by your side and look to you for direction. This is one loyal dog that is looking for a leader for life.

He seems to do well with friendly female dogs and doesn't seem to mind cats either, although we don't know if he has ever lived with one. Pluto would thrive as a country or suburban boy--he has had enough of his past city life and is just loving the open air and walks through the open fields and woods.

What a great pooch--please apply to adopt him today!

05/21/09 - Pluto

Pluto is a handsome young boxer that is in need of a foster or adoptive home.  He is very scared in the kennel.  Once outside, he warmed up quickly to me and allowed me handle him all over, wagged his tail nub, and actually snuck in a boxer kiss on my face!  He also sat on command and seems to be housebroken.  I introduced him to a submissive female dog at the shelter and he did great.  I also introduced him to several cats and he just sniffed once, then ignored.  Pluto did live with kids in his previous home although we are not sure of the ages, and that is all we know about him so far.  Pluto will need a calm leader to let him know that he is safe, protected, loved, and never to be abandoned again.

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.
