It is with a very sad heart that I let you know that I lost Brutus this evening. Unfortunately, pain medicine was not even making him comfy anymore. His leg swelled up to about 4 times its normal size and we discovered a tumor on his front leg as well. He hung on for much longer than expected and God love him, he was still dragging to be beside me. I included one of my favorite pictures of him. He was a godsend and I am glad I was chosen to see him through.

Brutus has been a complete pleasure to foster. It does not get any easier than him. Brutus is a bit developed in years, but don't let that fool you. He has done laps trying to catch his foster sister, Piper. He can't go as fast, but this old boy is all heart. He is completely happy to lay by your legs and just be near you. He does tend to need more potty breaks. He gets along with every dog he has ever been around in my presence and I have never seen a boxer boy so gentle with children and it is obvious that is where he chooses to be when a child is near him. It actually is a very beautiful thing to watch. This boy has so much more to give in so many ways. Apply today to adopt Brutus!

Brutus has now been in his foster home for a week now and he is adjusting well! Brutus is given free run of the house while his foster mom is at work. He is very affectionate and is excellent when meeting people and other dogs. Brutus takes treats very gently. He walks well on the leash and has been walking 2+ miles per day. Brutus is an active boy.  He is going to be a wonderful companion for a lucky home.  Apply today to adopt Brutus.

Hi, my name is Brutus and I am a “sophisticated gentleman” Boxer about 7-8 years young. I was found as a stray and ended up at a shelter. The volunteers at the shelter indicate that I act like I am 4 years old — I have lots of pep and energy - don’t let the gray hair fool you! I am as sweet as sugar and I get along well with other dogs. My best friend at the shelter is a male beagle. I am a very happy guy, but would be much happier if I could find a forever home of my own!

Prior to adoption:

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.
