Mugsy is a 1 year old male boxer that was dropped off at our crowded local shelter by a family who gave their boxer to our rescue before. It is sad that they couldn't call us instead of burdening the shelter. The shelter had no room for poor Mugsy . They were going to keep him in an outside pen, so they wouldn't have to euthanize another dog. Mugsy was picked up at the shelter and is now crying in my basement. I feel so badly for him as he cried all the way home from the shelter also. He is so confused and doesn't know what just happened to him. Mugsy will be neutered and brought up to date on all vet care. He previously lived with other dogs. Mugsy is such a sweet guy. He has a soft wrinkly face, is housebroken, and he loves my fenced backyard. Mugsy knows how to sit and he walks well on leash. We will update his page soon with better pictures.  Thank you for your interest in Mugsy!

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.
