Although Jessie was with us for only a week, the minute I met her I fell in love with a gracious senior. I called her My Queen of Queens. Jessie was so appreciative of everything, from food to hugs/kisses/treats. She followed me everywhere and slept cuddled up to my other two babies. Even though her hips were failing and she would fall, Jessie never allowed that to stand in her way of proving she was still young at heart. She ran and played with my two boxers who absolutely loved her. Words can't express our sorrow in her passing. I so wanted her to live with us and experience a home of love/peace and happiness, but I know now she is at peace at the Rainbow Bridge. Know how much we love you and miss you, our dear precious Jessie. You are in our hearts forever. You were definitely a priceless gift from God. Thank you Jessie for coming into our home and spreading your joy and love.  We will  never forget you . . . until we meet again.

This is so sad! Poor Jessie was dumped at an overcrowded city shelter on Christmas Eve by her family that had her for 13 years! They dumped her because she is "too old" - time to get a new pup for the kids. It really breaks my heart...Jessie is a sweet ol' gal who is great with kids of all ages and other dogs. Jessie seems to be in great shape.  Her legs are a little creaky and she moves a little slower than a young pup...but that's the great thing about a senior dog-- they don't need much. Just a soft place to rest their head, love, food, and shelter. Please offer to give this girl the best home ever. She deserves it! Remember those who adopted from AABR in the past get a very discounted adoption fee for a senior! Consider Jessie -- she is fantastic.

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.
