Gracie is approx 1 year old. She was found in the country as a stray and was very skinny. Gracie was taken into a home and loved and nursed back to health...when she arrived to us, she was so frightened and didn't want to go into the building. The next day, she was in the corner of her kennel and huddled up.  It took a few days and another dog (her best friend now) to bring her around. GRACIE LOVES OTHER DOGS!! She now uses her papers and keeps a very nice kennel.  Gracie lives in the building and greets strangers when they come in the building and occasionally serenades them with her little funny bark (it makes people laugh as it is kind of a chirp). We are thinking no homes with small children simply because that will mean lots of other visiting children and that may be overwhelming for Gracie. Gracie's back hips are sunken in and her back legs are very long.. possibly from malnutrition as she grew.  She flops her front feet and back legs a lot as she walks and does occasionally fall over. When outside and running with her friends, she hops like a bunny to keep up. She is the sweetest girl and loves kisses between her eyes. She has learned to jump on the big chair in the office and is so proud of herself - this is her favorite resting spot now. She loves tennis balls. We love her so much and are requiring that the adopter come to the shelter to adopt her and meet her to make her feel comfortable for the transition because of her behavior when she first arrived here. We will not transport Gracie.
 
Gracie is up to date with all vaccines and she has been spayed. She has also been heartworm tested If you are interested in adopting Gracie, please contact the Wetzel County Animal Shelter in New Martinsville, WV.

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.
