Paulie is deaf. What he lacks in one area he more than compensates for in others. In a word, Paulie is simply "sweet."  He loves to sit in the sun. He seems not to be interested in barking at passersby or in becoming overly excited with his neighbors in the kennel. He is completely "house trained" in the kennel and never goes indoors.
Paulie bonds with his human contacts quickly and is interested in learning his new "sign language."  He is easy to train, eager to please and takes his treats ever-so gently.  He is expanding his "vocabulary" quickly. Right now, Paulie has learned a sign for "good boy" and will offer a "sit" without prompting. He does have a signal for "sit" and for "down." He likes to use the agility dog-walk in the playground and he is always up for a game of tug-of-war.

He loves to play with other dogs and is great with kids and adults, an all around great dog!! Some of the many words in his signed vocabulary are  "Good boy", "Sit", "Down", "Shake hands", "Heel" (without a leash), "Look at me", "Off", "Settle down", "Stay.

Paulie's favorite way to spend a happy day is when an MLAR Volunteer sits on the floor where he can crawl up and lie across their lap. He loves to cuddle and give kisses.

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.
