Roc is a gorgeous young boxer that was surrendered to a high kill shelter yesterday because the owners had no time for him. The family bought Roc at 2 months old and had planned to breed him. They could never afford to buy the female to breed him with. Then there was a divorce in the family, and poor Roc was shuffled out to become a mostly yard dog, until he was then dumped at the shelter.

Roc lived with 5 children ages 6-14, and is reported to always be great with them. Roc also lived with a cat, was curious, but never aggressive with the cat. Roc hasn't had much exposure to other dogs, but with proper socialization, I am sure Roc will fit right in with a friendly female.

Roc will need all around basic training, but his previous home reports that he is housebroken. He is a puppy in almost every sense: happy, bouncy, and eager to learn!

Roc is scared in the kennel, he doesn't know what happened to him, but we have no foster homes available. Please give this beautiful young boxer boy the chance he deserves by offering to foster or adopt ROC.

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.
