Toro is now being offered for adoption through One Life to Live Pet Rescue and Adoption, Inc.  Please contact Debbie at abracadebra4dogs@comcast.net if you would like to learn more about Toro or would like an application for adoption. 

UPDATE: Utley, formerly Toro, is a very happy, sweet dog who would, most likely, do best in a home where he can be the only dog. He is approximately two years old and is a "designer dog" known as a Boglen Terrier (Boston Terrier/Beagle mix). He is a small to medium size dog, weighing in at around 35 lbs. Utley loves a good game of fetch!! He is very friendly with people but can be selective in his doggie friends. He is just waiting for someone to come for him and give him the love and life that he deserves. Do you think you could be Utley's best friend? He is all up-to-date with his shots, already neutered, and just waiting to go home with you.

Toro is an absolute cuddle bug. He has little experience on a leash, but with a training collar he walks pretty well. When given a bath he is very well behaved and seems to actually enjoy it! Toro would do much better in a home without other animals. When he is around other dogs he has a lot of anxiety and acts very high strung, but without another dog in the house he calmly plays with his toys and has no trouble relaxing. Of course, he checks in frequently to get petted. Also, he does very well in the car!! PLEASE find it in your heart to be Toro's  forever home so he can get all the love and attention he deserves.

Toro is a 2 yr old male who was surrendered to the city shelter when the owner moved. We are not sure what his breed is, but we do know he is very friendly and loving. Toro's previous home kept him in the yard all the time. After arriving at the shelter, the volunteers indicated he just wanted to run and play. Toro handled the shelter environment well with being in such a small space with so many other dogs. Toro likes to rest on your lap, where he fits perfectly due to his small size. This cute boy is waiting patiently at the kennel for a foster or forever home. Please give Toro a chance!

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.
