Lorna has been in her foster home for a month now and she is doing wonderful. She is in foster with two other boxers and Lorna is trained on the electric fence. Her foster parents feel that 3-4 years is a better estimate for her age - Lorna is an active and energetic young girl. She would really benefit from a fenced area to run and play in, and hopefully a brother to pal around with. Lorna loves to run - she just bounds around with pure joy, wiggling her tail at full speed when she sees her people. Lorna is house trained and crate trained. She is very good with people, children and other dogs, although she may be a bit timid and reserved at first. She knows basic commands such as sit, stay and come and is eager to please and very motivated by treats. Lorna loves bones, furry chew toys and tennis balls. She is also very good on a lead and rides very nicely in the car. Lorna does not jump up on beds, sofas or people. She hasn’t chewed on anything either but is a clever girl and can open drawers & lids. Lorna is truly a great girl. She needed a little patience at first, finding her place within the pack, but she has just blended beautifully within the group! She would do well in a home with another dog or by herself, as she loves to spend time with her people and craves affection. Lorna is up to date on her vaccinations and also spayed. Her behavior with cats is unknown. This beautiful girl has a ton of spunk and love to give. Won’t you give Lorna a great forever home and fill out an application today!?

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.
