Check out the link below to
view Cashmere's new video!
Cashmere is now 2 years old.
She had been in rescue far too long! We have just not found the perfect home
for her yet. Cashmere has gotten lots of applications, but nothing that is
the right fit! Cashmere has lots of energy to burn, so she can not go to a
home without a 6 ft fence - as she can jump over a 4ft fence like a gazelle.
We do not feel that an
electric fence will work for her and tie outs are not an option. She
needs her adoptive family to be strong leaders who set rules and boundaries.
Cashmere is extremely smart and needs mental and physical stimulation to
stay content. She is going to be a great running partner or maybe even
agility! Cashmere has been around younger children, but we recommend older
children because of her exuberance! She can not go to a home where there are
other small pets or cats. She can be an only doggy child or have doggy
siblings, but she will do best with a male who can keep up with her and help
her burn her energy! Cashmere is a wonderful, loving girl who is still a
very large puppy! She has made huge improvements - so much so that she is
now not crated at all unless she chooses to get in it! She is crate trained
and loves her crate, but definitely no longer needs it. She knows lots of
commands and several
hand signals, though she is not deaf. If you think that you
could be the right home for Cash, please don't hesitate to apply!

It will soon be a year and a
half in rescue for Cashmere, and she is ready for her forever home. Cashmere
was only 5 months old when she first joined AABR. She will soon turn 2
years old. Cashmere participates in training classes and has made a
lot of progress in her foster home. Cashmere needs a home with a completely
fenced yard due to her
energy level. This sweet girl deserves a chance. Included
are some Christmas pictures with Santa and with her antlers. Please make our
Christmas wish come true for Cashmere and put your application in
today to provide a forever home for her.

Included are two new photos
from the Walk for Paws adoption event last weekend, where Cashmere met a lot
of new people! She will also be attending DogFest this Sunday.
Come meet her there at Fieldstone Animal Inn in Millersville, MD - she is still waiting for her forever home!

Cashmere "Cash" has been in
foster care for 1 yr now. She is so different now from the unruly,
unsocialized, little monster puppy (I say that lovingly!) that came through
my front door! She has learned to play more appropriately. Because she is
still a young boxer, Cashmere does occasionally need reminders. She has
learned some much needed commands like sit, wait/stay, down, up, come, leave
it, crate (she has no problem getting in her crate, treats only make her get
in it faster lol..) we are learning over and under, and are still working on
leash walking. Overall, Cashmere has come incredibly far. She will do well
as an only dog or with an older male who can play rough with her - she loves
that and is such a little tomboy! Because of her style of play, she should
not be placed with cats or small animals. Cashmere does best with older
children, ! so we recommend over 8 yrs old. She will also need a completely
fence d yard. We do not feel that an
electric fence will work for her. Cashmere is waiting for a dog
savvy, active owner who will be her leader! She is becoming a super girl and
just needs you to help with the finishing touches! Apply today to give
Cashmere a forever home!

Cashmere has turned a year old
now and is still waiting on her forever home! We participate in a walk and
train class in Millersville, MD 2 times per month. She is doing very well
and is getting the hang of it! The wonderful people at Fieldstone Animal Inn
have graciously donated obedience classes for Cashmere with a local
adoption! So, won't you give this girl a chance to show you how wonderful
she is under that tom-boyish exterior! Oh and her new favorite thing to do
is play with the hose! She doesn't like the bathtub much but definitely
doesn't mind getting her feet wet! And no sprinkler either! Just you
spraying the hose! Loves it! watch the video:

Cashmere is looking for an
active home who can appreciate her drive and spirit; a high energy girl with
tons of love to give that equals her passion for play, play, rough and rowdy
play. Cashmere will do well in a home with another dog. She is not a dainty,
delicate little girl; she is strong and muscular and needs a male dog that
can hold his own with her energy and strength. She positively must have a
fenced yard. She needs a family who will work with her in basic obedience
classes. Cashmere would love an active outdoors family, walking, hiking,
playing ball are all high on her list of “Things I Love in Life”. So, if you
are an active family with dog experience, looking for a 4 legged family
member who can keep up with your active lifestyle, Cashmere may be the
perfect match for you. Apply today - Cashmere is waiting!

Cashmere LOVES the snow - she
is having such a great time playing in it with her foster brothers and
sister! She has even found that icicles are fun! She is a very happy, loving
& active girl and can't wait to get back to daycare when the weather breaks!
Cashmere will be turning 1yr old in her foster home soon! Although she loves
her foster family, she is ready to head out and get started on her next
great adventure in her very own forever home!

Cashmere had her doggie
daycare evaluation yesterday and did GREAT! She is excited about going to
play with new friends! Cashmere is progressing well and is learning new
things everyday! She is super sweet and loves to cuddle on the couch! She
knows sit, wait & come, but she knows the word "treat" best and knows where
to go and sit to get one! We are currently learning leash walking and have
been able to extend the length of our walk daily! She loves her foster
brothers and sister! Cashmere would really love a forever home of her
own. Apply today for this sweet young girl!

Cashmere is a smart spunky
girl who has lots of energy! She has changed so much in the two weeks she
has been with us in our foster home. Her
adoptive parents will
need to be strong leaders who will give her the direction she needs! Any new
animal sibling should not be puppies or small animals as she is still
learning appropriate play behavior. We are recommending children over 8
years old because she still plays very rough and could knock small children
over. Cashmere's ideal canine sibling would be an older male that can
tolerate her rough play. Cashmere rides well in the car, is crate
trained, house trained and is overall a really great young lady who will
flourish in the right environment.

My foster family was unable to keep me and sadly, I had to be taken to a
kennel until I find another foster home or even better, a forever home. I
would do best in a home without small dogs or cats, as my energy level and
rough style of play may injure them accidentally. I would love to have an
active playmate. You need to be prepared for my high energy - I definitely
need a fenced yard to run in. I haven't been taught a lot of manners, so
I'll need guidance and socialization from a strong leader. My foster mom
said I was a great snuggler after a day of running and playing. I am crate
trained, and I know to go to the door when I need out. A kennel is no place
for a puppy - please apply today and offer to give me a chance in your home.

- Cashmere
This is Cashmere, a 5 month old female boxer mix who was
surrendered to the city animal shelter when her owner could no longer afford
her. Unfortunately, her owner did not leave any background information on
her. She is very sweet and beyond adorable. We are looking for a home that
is there often to work on her house training and with a secure fenced yard
so this young girl can run and play. She would love to have a brother in the
home. Cashmere is currently in foster with two other dogs and a cat. Her
foster mom indicates that she is a great snuggler. She will update her page
once she gets to know her better, as she has only been in rescue a short
time. Apply today if you have the time and energy for a boxer puppy!

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.
