We are heartbroken by the loss of our sweet little Dakota, who went into kidney failure. She passed with her loving foster family at her side. She lived a very short life, but she was dearly loved by her foster parents and foster brother.

11/21/10

This sweet 10 month old girl was rescued from South Carolina. She had mange and a severe case of kennel cough. After recovering from both, her foster parents noticed she was drinking in excess. After many expensive tests and an ultrasound, Dakota was diagnosed with a severe kidney infection, which she probably had before coming into rescue and it went undetected. We do not know if there will be any permanent damage to her kidneys until the infection is gone. She will need to go back to the vet in six weeks for more tests and another ultrasound.

Please help AABR with her medical costs. This sweet young girl would not be alive today if AABR did not rescue her. What better way to give for the holidays than to sponsor a dog in need? Every dollar makes a difference.

Dakota is doing wonderful in her foster home. She is being fostered with a male boxer and they get along great. Her mange is almost fully gone. She is learning her basic commands and has mastered sit and come. She also walks nicely on a leash. She met some children the other day and she was great with all of them. Dakota loves to be near people of all sizes. She would make a wonderful addition to any home. Please apply to adopt Dakota!

10/1/10 -

Dakota was an owner surrender to the shelter along with Denver because their owners could no longer take care of them.  Dakota is a very sweet brindle girl suffering from Demodex Mange. Dakota's condition is the result of neglect. Demodex Mange is highly treatable and is usually the result of bad nutrition, and a bad and stressful environment. AABR is getting her the medical attention this poor baby needs, but she is in need of a foster home and some tender loving care to help her recover. Please help AABR by applying to foster her or make a contribution to help pay for her medical care.

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.
