Reed has been with us for a little over two weeks now and WOW, what a great guy! The owner that gave him up claimed they were having problems with housebreaking him, but after only 3 days - we have not had one incident.  Reed does require some attention to his diet as he suffers from allergies, but we have a large listing of foods he can eat without problems. He is very gentle and loves to be around people. Reed walks well on a leash, responds to his name, and knows “sit”. He is not happy about being crated, but he’ll go in at night in the bedroom. Reed is not fazed by other animals (we have chickens) and he likes to play with other friendly dogs. We’ve taken him out a few times and he turns heads wherever we go – he is a very handsome guy. Reed is a complete jewel and won’t be around long, so if you are interested in meeting Reed for adoption - please submit an application for him today.

This darling boy was turned over to the shelter by his previous owners because they could not housebreak him. Reed did great in his kennel at the shelter and did not have any accidents. He is a very sweet, special boy who desperately wants a loving home. Reed is about 4 years of age and weighs 48 pounds. He could definitely stand to gain some weight. Reed has some food allergies, but we have a list of items that he can tolerate well. Reed did excellent with his behavior evaluation. He is great with other dogs and walks well on leash. Reed seemed to be very stressed in his previous home, but he should thrive in the right environment. Reed previously lived with three children (ages 7, 12, and 16).  He just loves to play ball! Reed brings it back and drops it, waiting for you to throw it again. He sits on command for you to throw it and you tell him to “wait” and he does! So cute! He will be going into a foster home tomorrow, and we will update his page soon once we learn more about him. Thank you for your interest in Reed!

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.
