I just wanted to share a happy beginning story and share our gratitude for the service AABR provides and the joy our new family member has brought to our life.

We adopted a boxer from AABR on Thanksgiving weekend— her AABR name was Peyton, but she’s since had a name change to Maggie :)  We sadly lost our 6-year-old boxer to lymphoma about 4 weeks before Maggie became part of the family.  As soon as we met  2 year-old Maggie at the kennel, we knew this sweet, energetic girl belonged with us. She was too thin, had a limp and was a bit skittish—all of which we knew we could take care of with lots of love and care.

Maggie loves playing in her new yard and going for long walks.  Her favorite thing is napping on couches and beds throughout the house, laying on the pillow with a blanket, like a human.  After she eats, she’ll run over to us and give us a “hug”--wrapping her neck around ours, as if to thank us for taking care of her.  She also loves kids, and her human little brother should be arriving any day now--we know they will be best friends.

We will definitely consider fostering and adopting another special friend in the future.  Many thanks to AABR for completing our family!

We received a call from a woman who asked us if we could take a stray boxer into rescue. They had been feeding her at their maintenance shop over the past several months, and had finally earned her trust. A volunteer from our rescue was able to pull this young girl into rescue this weekend. When Peyton was scanned at the vet's office, she was found to have a microchip and we were able to speak with the original owners. They had given her away in July due to the allergies of their new baby, and Peyton had jumped the fence a day later.  This poor girl has been on our her own for three months now.  She is going to stay with AABR in hopes of finding her a wonderful, forever home that will keep her safe.

Peyton is a 2 year old fawn female who previously lived with children and she absolutely adores them.  She is an energetic young girl, and will need a home that can provide socialization and exercise. She is reported to be great with other dogs. Peyton was already spayed and is now being brought up to date with all other vet care. She is in urgent need of a foster home. New pictures are coming soon. Please apply today for Peyton!

Prior to adoption

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.
