Donnie is still waiting for his forever home. He is doing really well in his foster home. Donnie is such a sweet boy and doing much better meeting new people. He is being fostered with Frazier and they have become best friends. He loves running in the yard with his foster brothers and would do best in a home with another dog to play with. Please apply for Donnie today.  

12/7/09 - Update

Donnie has settled in nicely at his foster home. He is housebroken, neutered and up to date on all of his shots. Donnie is living with four other dogs (2 boxers, a shepherd, and a cocker spaniel). He gets along well with the other dogs and loves to play with them, especially my six year old male boxer. He also enjoys playing with toys. Donnie loves tennis balls and he tries to catch them in mid air. He enjoys going for walks. We are working on his leash manners and basic obedience training. He is a very smart boy and he quickly learns new commands. Donnie is still a little timid when he first meets men, but quickly warms up if given some time or treats. He would benefit from a home with a fenced yard and another dog of similar energy level to run and play with. He is a real sweetheart, all kisses and wiggles. Please apply for Donnie today and give him a forever home for the holidays.

11/18/09 -

We were called by Child Protective Services that a home was condemned and being foreclosed on and the family was moved to a shelter. The family's two year old boxer was left in the garage without electricity or heat, and they were going back every couple of days to feed him and give him water.

We met Donnie last night and he is now safe at a temporary foster home. He is friendly but scared, more so with men that he meets. He lived with an 8 year old little girl and her older teenage brother. He was allowed free access to the house when someone was home, but slept down in the basement at night. He had a fenced in yard but was often able to climb out of it. It was dark when we saw it so we can't be sure why he was able to get out, but the family said that he would return to them when he was called. Donnie has not been around cats, but a cat happen to pass him by at one point in his transport and he had no reaction.

It has not been an easy life for Donnie, and he is thin. We will be updating his page as we learn more about him.

Can you be Donnie's hero?

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.
