Solomon has been in my home for a week and all I can say is "wow, what a phenomenal boy!" He is simply incredible.  There was no "transition period" - he just moved in and it is as though he has always lived with us. Apart from being extremely thin, Solomon appears to be a very healthy senior boy. He loves to eat and I expect he will be at his ideal weight rather quickly. The person who surrendered him to the shelter indicated that he had been dropped off at her house and she could not afford to feed him; it is suspected that he may have actually belonged to her. As hungry as he is, he takes food very gently, and does not woof his food down -he savors every bite. Solomon does not appear to have had a rough life - he does not have a lot of callouses on his elbows or scars on his body. He knows what the couches and beds are for without hesitation. Solomon is very comfortable with everyone and everything.  He loves riding in the car, going to the vet, and going to Arbys! Solomon listens well, gets along with my two younger boxers, has an incredibly sound temperament and is simply the most perfect, happy boy once could ever hope to meet. Solomon's sweet face, with those magical eyes, is always looking up to me - as though he is asking for permission or looking for approval. He has full run of the house while I am at work and is a perfect gentleman.

For anyone who has not been blessed to have a senior boxer in your life, I cannot begin to describe what you are missing. It is a priceless experience!!

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.
