Bourbon is one of the sweetest dogs I have ever met! I brought him to a couple of little league games and he did great with all of the people...and the kids loved him because he was so gentle with them. I think he would be fine living with children. He loves attention so much that his little nub not only goes back and forth but actually makes little circles. Bourbon is fine in the house and will not touch anything unless it is given to him to play with. He is in a foster home with two young boxers and is good with them, but prefers to just chill out at the pool with me :) He is such a great companion and snuggler and appreciates every moment you spend with him. Bourbon loves car rides and walks and has started playing with toys. He is really laid back and would be perfect for someone who wants an easy going boxer that is super friendly with everyone. He is an absolute gem!

7/7/10 -

We picked up Bourbon late last night and he slept peacefully in the back of the car the whole entire ride home.  After a good scrubbing bath and meal, he settled right down in the kitchen for the night. He was allowed free roam of the kitchen and did not have an accident or make a peep all night. He is so sweet, whenever you call him or talk to him he is very submissive and sits down right next to you. Right now he is slowly learning how to be a puppy. He has not touched a toy yet (and we have a chest full!) which makes me sad that he doesn't seem to know what to do with them or that he is even allowed to play with them. He stays off the furniture (not a rule in my house) and does not touch anything. He is very submissive with my other dogs - so much so that whenever they try to play with him he just stands or sits wagging his little nub. We are just starting to see him using his paws in the boxer way because the others are so insistent. Obedience wise, he knows sit and paw and does not pull on his leash at all. When roaming the house he comes immediately if called. He is so appreciative of all the love he is getting right now and would be a great addition to any family. More information to come :)

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.
