Java has been with our family for a week, and she has really blossomed in that short time. If you enjoy puppy kisses, Java is the girl for you! She follows our 5 year old male boxer around the house and seems to be watching him to see what’s expected of her. They’ve begun playing together over the past couple of days and she is finally starting to show some interest in toys. She has learned to sit and Java comes when called. She is still a puppy and will need some more work on housetraining. Java seems very eager to please and loves being rewarded with little treats for good behavior.

Java is doing very well with her crate. She never makes a peep and we’ve actually found her going in there on her own to get some alone time. She loves spending time with our four children (ages 8 - 13) and is happy to get loved on all of the time and isn’t bothered by the generally high activity level of our home. She is still thin, but we are steadily putting weight on her and can already see a difference. After being found as a stray and having to apparently fend for herself for quite some time, Java is looking for a forever home to take care of her and give her the love and attention she deserves.

Poor Java has had a really rough start in life. She was found as a stray and is very skinny. She is only 35 lbs and is estimated to be around 5-6 months old. Java did great with both the dog and cat test at the shelter. She is being spayed this week, and will then be looking for a foster or forever home. Apply today for this adorable girl!

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.
