Penny has been in her foster home for a week now and she is doing great! She does really well with both cats, and she actually doesn't pay any attention to them at all. Since she is recovering from a cold, she hasn't had a lot of interaction with the other dogs yet. Penny is completely housebroken and she is doing well in her crate. Penny loves to receive attention and praise. She is very easy to train because she is so food motivated. She has a great appetite and is gaining some much needed weight. Penny gets her stitches out tomorrow from her spay surgery. She would love to have a fenced yard at her new home so she can run and play outside. She is a young and energetic girl. We have completely fallen in love with this sweetheart!  Apply today if you are interested in adding Penny to your family.

When Penny first came into rescue a month ago, she had kennel cough from the shelter and had to wait at the boarding kennel. She was finally able to be spayed a few days ago.  Penny arrived at her foster home this evening - what a sweet and adorable girl!! Everyone who met her today was greeted with wiggles, kisses, and her tail wagging nonstop (she was a lucky girl and got to keep her natural tail!).

Penny is in foster with three other dogs and two cats. Introductions with everyone were very easy and Penny was able to interact with all the other dogs within a very short period after arriving home. She is learning the routines of her foster home and an update will be posted as soon as we get to know her better.

Penny was transported into rescue today. She spent the afternoon at one of our volunteer's home, where she got a much needed bath and lots of attention! Penny is a petite girl and she is also very thin from being out on her own. She knows her basic commands and will sit politely for a treat. She got to keep her tail and it wags constantly. She is a very sweet girl with people. Penny is currently at the kennel and in need of a foster home. Please apply today to foster or adopt Penny!

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.
