Princess just finished her first week in her new foster home and she is settling in well with her two boxer housemates. She is a great traveler, as quiet as a mouse in the car, and is a joy to have around the house. She is very gentle with our children, knows a few basic commands, and walks well on the lead. She even knows to stay off furniture which isn't even a rule in her foster home! And.. a bonus, she doesn't charge the door when the bell rings! What's not to like about that!

Princess is friendly with new dogs, but is a little slow to warm up to new people and is very cautious and timid at first. It took 3 days for her to accept a cookie from me! Once she warms up though, she is a real sweetheart. Because she is a little timid, she does enjoy having other dogs around. Apply today if you are interested in adopting Princess!

Princess arrived at her foster home last night and she is settling in well. She is now in foster with two other boxers and two children. We will update her page once her foster home learns more about her. She would do best in a home with other dogs as she seems to really enjoy their company. Thank you for your interest in Princess!

Princess and Bandit were surrendered to the shelter when their owners were moving. Princess is a 3 year old fawn female. She is great with other dogs and is also reported to be good with children. Princess is housetrained and crate trained. She is very timid at first, but warms up quickly. The shelter indicates that she did well with her cat test.  Princess will be going into a foster home soon and we will update her page once we know more about her.

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.
