Shrek is in need of a new foster home. He is great with adults, but he doesn't realize his size around young children. Shrek is such a love, always wagging his nub and wanting to play.  He "smiles" all the time. Shrek's back legs continue to get stronger. He is getting very reliable about letting his foster parents know when he has to go out. Shrek is good on leash and he is getting along well with his foster siblings. All he wants is to be loved and played with -what more would a boxer want? Please apply today if you can provide a foster home or forever home for Shrek!

Shrek is a gentle giant. He is very loving and playful. We have been taking him on long walks to build up his strength in his back legs, as he spent much of his life in a wire crate. He is looking for a home where he will get lots of attention, including ear scratches. He walks great on a leash and we are working on his other basic commands. Please consider making Shrek a part of your family.

Shrek was rescued along with Fiona from a local puppy mill.  Don't be fooled by the name - this guy is no ogre. Shrek is a handsome boxer who seems to have a fun-loving personality. He had his first bubble bath today and loved the attention! Shrek shows a few scars from his past-puppy mill life, but he doesn't let them slow him down. If you are considering adding a boxer to your family to watch TV with, or want a hiking partner, please apply to adopt Shrek today!

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.
