King has been in his foster home for a week now, and he is doing wonderful! He is in foster with two other dogs - a young boxer and a senior English Bull Terrier. King is getting along great with both dogs and he loves to play with them in the fenced yard. His foster mom reports that he has been very easy to acclimate to her home. King is housebroken and crate trained. He is great on leash and knows all of his basic commands. King can be very shy with men - it just takes some time for him to warm up to them. He did wonderful with his male handler at the kennel prior to going to his foster home. King is going to be a great companion for a very lucky home - apply today for King!

King has a sad story of neglect. We were contacted by the owner's mother to see if rescue could help. One of our volunteers evaluated King, and found him to be living outside, very skinny, and covered with fleas. King's owner indicated that he is good with cats and other dogs. King lived with two children - 7 and 9 years old - and he was wonderful with them. The owner stated he is house trained and knows his basic commands. When the volunteer went back the next day, King had already been dumped at the shelter. We are in the process of pulling King into rescue from the shelter. They have treated him for the fleas and have brought him up to date on all vet care. King had already been neutered. We have come to learn that he had been abandoned at his former home multiple times, without proper care or food. King is in need of a foster home so we can learn more about him. He was very friendly with our volunteer that interacted with him and he has also done well with the volunteers at the shelter. Apply today if you can give this boy a chance at a better life.

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.
