I am writing to let you know that Lola (formerly Queenie) passed away today. She went quickly and peacefully, laying out in her favorite spot in the yard.  The vet believes she most likely suffered a heart attack. 

We adopted Lola from AABR in Aug of 2009 and never looked back. She was the sweetest dog and she loved everyone she met (and they all loved  her). Our hearts are broken and we mourn her -she brought so much laughter to our lives. Our other dog, Spike, is so sad -they were best buds.

We find comfort knowing she didn't suffer and that we didn't have to make any decisions, it was her time. She was her playful self up until the minutes before she died.

Thank you to AABR for giving us the opportunity to learn a lot about unconditional love from a wonderful animal. Hopefully, in time, we will be able to allow another rescue into our hearts and home and give them the best life possible.

Thank you again for giving us this dog, she was one of a kind.

Meghan, Nate, and Spike

Queenie is a 4 year old white boxer who was surrendered to AABR from a puppy mill breeder.   Queenie has a great personality, but it is truly unbelievable that a breeder would use a white boxer with Queenie's conformation to breed boxers for sale in pet shops.  Please look at Queenie and spread the word about not buying dogs from pet stores.

The puppy miller reported that Queenie is very sweet and that she likes kids and other dogs. Queenie has been spayed and she is now in foster with a male boxer and doing wonderful. Queenie is crate trained and also appears to be housebroken. She has a great temperament and loves attention from people.

Prior to adoption:

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.
