Cain still remains at the kennel, waiting for a foster or forever home. What a super nice boy he is! He is such a happy and friendly boy. Cain loves to play and is great with people. He has played nicely with other dogs at the kennel and was even quite polite when the resident cat smacked him in the face. I cannot understand why he has not been adopted -there is nothing that we have found about this boy that is a negative. The kennel staff absolutely adore him!!

 To reiterate his good nature, Cain is sweet, friendly, young, playful, happy, quite handsome, good with other dogs, probably will be good with cats, and a very typical Boxer boy. All that is missing for Cain is a family of his own. I am sure there is a wonderful family out there missing a very important family member, and that family member could quite possibly be Cain.

7/21/10 -

Cain is a boxer boy estimated at four to five years of age who was surrendered to the city shelter because his owners indicated he was too big for their home. The shelter took in over 70 dogs the day that Cain was dropped off, and he was in immediate danger of being euthanized. The dogs were being lined up in crates in the hallway. AABR was able to pull him quickly from the shelter and Cain is currently at the vet's office, where he will be neutered and brought up to date on all vet care. Cain did well with the other dogs at the shelter. The staff reported he was fantastic with people. The volunteer that transported him to the vet's office indicated that Cain rode well in the crate. He knows how to sit and give his paw. Cain is in need of a foster home so we can learn more about him. Please apply today to foster or adopt this handsome 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.
