Cuddles was sadly lost to cardiomyopathy on 5/9/12.  She will be missed by her family and all who knew her.

1/2/10 - Happy Beginnings

Initially, we were not looking to adopt a senior boxer, but after talking with AABR volunteers and considering the notion that this would truly be a rescue, we set up a time to visit Cuddles at her foster home. We felt an instant connection, and brought Cuddles home that same day. We knew very little — that she was afraid of thunderstorms and liked pig ears, but not much else! Of course, that very night, we had the loudest, scariest thunderstorm that either of us could remember, but she did great getting through it, and has been a pure joy ever since. We both feel very fortunate that we did not miss out on Cuddles – every single minute with her is special!

Working full time, it has helped us tremendously that Cuddles was already house-trained and into a routine ... While we are at work, she has her favorite spots to catch up on her sleep to get ready for her long walk or trip to the dog park later in the day! There, she will happily chase squirrels and mingle with her canine pals. Over the past few months, she has been introduced to a great number of family members and friends— including lots of little ones!  Everyone who has met her has marveled at her temperament. She is an amazing dog and companion and we would not trade a single day with her! Thank you, AABR!

September 2009 - ADOPTED!

6/5/09 -

Cuddles is a 7 year old beautiful female sweetie. Her owners were moving and could not take her. She lived with a Yorkie and got along very well with him. She spent most of her days in the basement of the house with the Yorkie so she LOVES her new foster home where she has her own bed in the sun room.

She needs slow introductions since she was just pulled from the one and only home she has ever known. She needs time to settle down and relax. Cuddles is adjusting very well so far and we will update her page once she settles in at her foster home.

PLEASE give Cuddles a loving forever home!

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.
