Happy Jones has not had an easy life so far. His first owner was a drug addict and was breeding dogs for money. Happy was born with a cleft palate. The owner was going to euthanize him because he couldn't use him to breed with this defect. Happy was not being fed and was full of worms. Thankfully, a woman learned about him and offered to take Happy in to save him. She has three dogs of her own and is unable to keep Happy, so has contacted rescue for help in finding him a wonderful, forever home. The cleft palate has since closed and the vet that examined him felt that the surgery at this point would only be cosmetic. Happy eats normally and does not have any associated problems.

Happy is currently living with a cat and three other dogs, all under 25 lbs. He is partially house trained and needs some work on his leash walking. Happy is still a puppy and needs a home with the time and experience to work on his socialization and training. Happy is more timid with men and can be protective of his home, although he does warm up to visitors. Happy loves toys, especially anything stuffed. Please offer to change Happy's life and provide him with a wonderful, loving home.

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.
