New picture - 4 weeks old!

4/19/10 -

We discovered that Ava was pregnant after she arrived at her foster home.  She delivered 9 puppies on 4/1/10.    The puppies are close to three weeks old now, and they will be ready to be placed into their forever homes around 8 weeks of age.  Puppies require a lot of work - please make sure you are committed and ready! To be considered for a puppy, you must have the time and energy to work on socialization and housebreaking. Somebody should be home enough to accommodate the needs of a puppy this age.  We are taking applications now for these adorable babies. Apply today if your home is suitable for a young puppy.

We are also asking for sponsors for Ava and her puppies.  Please consider sponsoring a puppy for $50 and choosing his/her name!  Puppy 6 is a fawn male.

Thank you Steven Santos for naming Fonzi!

Please note:

Ava was a stray when first found.  The only thing we know about these puppies for sure is that they are HALF boxer because their mom is full boxer. 

They may even be from different fathers.  When a female is in heat and out as a stray, many different males attempt and can successfully mate with her.

There are three females, and six males, but many many bills to pay!  The first 9 appropriate names will be used to name the pups. All subsequent names and donations will not go to waste.  Please always note on your donation if you wish to donate anonymously.  

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.
