Maribell is a spunky little girl and is doing amazingly well considering all she has been through. She had the surgery to remove both mass cell tumors and we have started her heartworm treatment. She has put on some much needed weight and is doing well in her foster home.  Maribell is being fostered with a female boxer and cats. She has come a long way since first coming into rescue and deserves a loving home to grow old in. Please consider opening your heart and home to sweet Maribell.

2/21/11 -

This adorable 37lb girl was dumped at a high kill shelter because of her medical condition.  Maribell has two mast cell tumors - one on each of her front legs and a mammary mass. What kind of heartless people just dump their sick dog at a kill shelter. Are they so inhuman that they could not try to find her a rescue to help her or too gutless to have her humanely euthanized around the family she loved.

She was brought to a local vet from the shelter by another rescue that decided to pass on her. Luckily, the vet called AABR to see if we could help her.  If we could not help, Maribell was going back to the shelter to be euthanized. When I heard the story, I wanted to cry.  If her family took better care of her, she may not have been in this horrible situation she is in today. This sweet little girl deserves a chance. The first step is to try to remove the tumors. Our little Maribell needs our help.  Please consider donating to help with 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.
