Sadly, Ollie took a turn for the worse this morning and there was nothing that the vet could do for him. His foster mom and dad remained by his side as he crossed the bridge. We want to thank Colleen and Paul Paskert for taking Ollie into their home and for their devotion to him as he went through his diagnosis and treatment.

From Ollie's foster family:

Oliver, as his foster dad called him (they were best buds) fought a good fight with mast cell tumors, but unfortunately did not win.  Even though he was only with us for a short time, Oliver was much loved and will be deeply missed.  We will remember him always as a loveable, stubborn, and precious boy.

Ollie's lumps have returned and they have been diagnosed as grade 3 mast cell tumors.  AABR has consulted with the oncologist, and we are going to try a few rounds of chemo to see if it helps.  Thankfully, Ollie is in a loving foster home - but he will need your support and donations so we can do everything possible for this sweet boy.  Please sponsor Ollie today!

Al, nicknamed Ollie by his foster home, is doing great since his surgery for his ear.  Everything has healed nicely!  Ollie is getting along great with my 2 dogs (1 female, 8yrs old and calm and 1 male, 2 1/2 yrs old, high energy and loves to play). He is making progress with the invisible fence. Ollie is great in the house, even when alone. He has full run and does not need a crate. Ollie is an easygoing boy and he loves to nap on his dog bed during the day.  He is ready for his forever home - apply today!

7/7/10 -

Al is a 7 yr old boxer that was given up to AABR because of the allergies of an adult son who moved back into the home of his parents after getting divorced. The family could not give us even a day - they had to get him out ASAP and dropped him at a kennel. Al lived with a small dog and I guess he was hypoallergenic as he was allowed to stay. Al is good with other dogs and is in foster with a male and female boxer and doing well.  He is up to date on shots and neutered, but came into our care with a big cut on his ear which our rescue will have to pay for to get him in tip top shape. Al is sad and obviously misses his home. Please make his next home a lifetime one where he will get lots of tender loving care.  Al deserves so much better - please open your hearts and home to this sweet boy.

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.
