Sierra has been in foster about a month and she is doing fabulous. Her skin condition has all cleared up. She does have entropion (inward folding of her one eyelid), which will be corrected when she is spayed in 2 weeks.  Sierra is a petite and energetic young girl.  She is incredibly sweet with people. Sierra loves to go on walks and meet new people, but she is a bit shy when trying new things.  She will need a home that is willing to help her build her confidence. Life was likely relatively hard for Sierra in the past, so she is just learning how to live in a house. She is crate-trained and really likes her crate. She eats well and loves toys, Kongs and other things to chew on. If you are looking for a young female boxer with lots of energy, please consider adopting Sierra. She is just as sweet as they come.

Sierra is a sweetie and she is doing great. She came to AABR with a skin condition, but the vet says she's on the way to recovery. Her skin is clearing up and she's doing wonderful. Sierra is a young, energetic, and loving boxer. She's small, less than 50 lbs, and very athletic. Sierra did great at the vet's office with lots of other dogs around. She was also the star of the show at the pet store when she went to pick out a treat with lots of wiggles and kisses for everyone at the store. Sierra rides well in the car and she is improving with her leash walking.  She is still in a kennel and as nice as those folks are, she would love to find a foster or forever home to call her own. Please consider adopting this sweet little girl.  Below is a brief video of this happy girl!

Wow! Sierra is a cutie! Her skin is starting to look better and she is just as happy as can be. She is still in a kennel, and as nice as those folks are, she would love a foster or forever home to go to. She is a small female boxer with lots of energy. She still has a tail, as you can see from the pictures. She is friendly and playful and very much appreciates as many belly rubs as she can get. Since she's at a kennel, we don't know too much about her behavior but for all she's been through, she doesn't seem to have a mean bone in her body. She needs to learn basic manners but responds well to treats when offered. The kennel staff, and everyone she meets, says she is the sweetest thing. Please consider fostering or adopting Sierra.

Sierra was left in the drop off box at a crowded shelter. She has lost almost all of her hair and is currently being treated for possible mange. Poor Sierra is in urgent need of a foster home so she can begin the road to recovery and get to a wonderful, forever home that will not let her get in this condition or abandon her again.

The staff at the shelter all fell in love with this sweet girl. They are estimating her to be around 2 years old and indicate that she is a total gem! She did well around the other dogs at the shelter.  Sierra was very patient and tolerant of her bath there. She is now safe in rescue - please give her a chance at a foster home so we can get her out of the vet's office and begin her treatment soon!

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.
