It is with deep sadness that I report the passing of one of our recently rescued seniors, Dillon. His body succumbed to respiratory infection and he passed in his sleep. If it wasn't for AABR, Dillon would have passed at a cold and sad shelter, but he didn't. He left this world in a warm and quiet place in a foster home. I remember when I first picked him up from the shelter, he was so happy and just covered me in kisses. Even though he was not with us long, I am happy that he left in a comfortable environment. Sweet dreams Dillon, I am sure you were greeted with many wagging tails and sloppy kisses at the Rainbow Bridge.

1/3/10 -

Dillon was dumped at the overcrowded city shelter on New Year's Eve because the owners no longer had time for him.  Poor Dillon was kept as an outside dog and was only brought in at night to stay in a kennel.

It is obvious that Dillon was not well cared for. He is very skinny and has large pressure sores on his sides from sleeping on cement.

But despite all that, Dillon is a very friendly and happy boy! He had nothing but kisses for me when I went to pick him up. He runs around the yard like a young pup. Dillon lived with children of all ages and with other dogs.

Let's give Dillon the very best New Year of his entire life, shall we? Apply to adopt Dillon and show him what it's like to live the good golden years.

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.
