Welcome Little Lana to the AABR family.  Here she is with her roommate Duke, whom she likes just fine. She's also got a couple of feline roomies that she could honestly care less about. Lana is a very sweet girl that was rescued from an unscrupulous breeder who advertised her on craigslist when she was too sick & starved to breed any longer. Her current family saw the ad & knew they had to save her. They picked her up and took her right to the vet. She had a terrible whip worm infestation, and was so thin you could practically count all of her bones. Thanks to their good care she is doing much better, and has gained a good deal of weight.

Her family is saddened to give Lana up, but they have 3 small children, ages 1yr to 4yrs, and Lana is terrified of them. Whenever they are around, all she wants to do is hide in her crate. Lana does fine with the adults in the family, but just can't handle the noise & activity of the kids. She apparently spent all of her time in an outdoor crate until they saved her, and just hasn't had the exposure needed to deal with a boisterous family life. She is housetrained and crate trained. Lana has learned "sit" and walks pretty nicely on a leash. She is definitely nervous with new people & places, but it is just a matter of time and patience so that she can build some confidence through careful socialization and human kindness. She was obviously worried about me when we met, but still responded well to my commands, and though she was unsure she still let me take her for a nice walk. This tiny little girl is an absolute gem. Just look at that face. How can you resist her? Won't you be the one to bring Lana out of her shell, and show her just how great a family's love can be, and that it's Ok to trust again? If you have the relatively quiet home she needs, won't you please consider adopting Little Lana.

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.
