Hi, I wanted to give you all an update on Oliver (Ollie)…he is the bomb. I had him out last night in my convertible and he just loved the open air feeling. He is so well behaved, so smart and so alert; he does not miss a trick. He has not had an accident in the house; he is a great sleeper and cuddler. But most of all he is an all male 8 month old boxer, full of fun and laughter and goofiness. He has 2, maybe 3 gears. He can be calm, wound up and just crazy nuts, in a good way. Ollie loves to play ball and chase a Frisbee -my son is teaching him to catch it. He’s great on walks, great with other dogs, and great with commands. He and my cat even tolerate each other. He wants to play and she wants to whack his nose. They are coming to an understanding; which is so amusing to watch!

He has one vise…sticks; I have never had a dog that likes to chew on sticks more then him. He can find them anywhere. Ollie does not have a mean bone in his body, he is a true lover. My son and I battle for him at night. He sleeps all night although he normally is suctioned cupped to you. I can’t say enough about this little guy. I have a bunch of pictures to share with AABR, but most of all I wanted to share the story of my Ollie with all the AABR people. The 3 ladies, Karen, Jenn, and Tracy were wonderful and they have made 3 very happy people in my home:me, my son and Ollie himself!!!

Meet Oliver! This cutie is awesome! He was surrendered to the city shelter because his owners were moving and could not take him. He has been well cared for and is in great shape. Oliver knows "sit" and "lay down", and seems to be housebroken. He did great with his dog test at the shelter -he just wants to play, play, play! He also did well with his cat test. Oliver was curious, but backed off as soon as the cat swatted at his nose. This beauty won't be with rescue long -put in your application today for Oliver!

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.
