Franklin was purchased at a yard sale at 7 weeks of age as a full bred boxer to a college boy. He was raised in a fraternity house, where he grew and grew, and his owner soon suspected that he was bigger than a boxer had any right to be! Franklin is exactly what you expect to see if you were to picture a  Great Dane/ Boxer mix-adorable!!! At 100 lbs, he still has a lot of growing to do.

Franklin is very much a puppy, but a VERY good listener. He loves to play and run and enjoys tennis balls and peanut butter. He is NOT good with cats and possibly small dogs. Although he gets along well with the foster's 4 month old puppy, he tends to play rough and needs some down time when he gets too excited. He is a clingy boy that always wants to be with his people. He does get along with other dogs, but will certainly stand up for himself when challenged.

Franklin is learning some manners now. . He IS housetrained! He learned quickly to sit for treats, dinner and when going in and out. So he is VERY trainable and learns quick. He does well with the foster's 12 year old son.  He just wants to play, play, play and when done he'll rest right at your feet. He even takes treats very gently!

Franklin is a GREAT boy who would make a wonderful addition to any active family or a loyal pal to an active single!

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.
