Delilah has made a lot of progress in her foster home. She gets along great with both other dogs (a 12 yr old male and a 5 yr old female). Delilah took a little while to warm up to her foster parents at first, but she is now very affectionate. Delilah loves getting petted and she loves to snuggle. She prefers to be as close as she can get to her foster parents. She can usually be found nestled in the crook of our knee or with her head laying on one of our legs.

Delilah will now go into her crate when commanded, but she still is not comfortable in it. Delilah is a bit nervous around strangers and keeps her distance until she gets to know them. All in all, she has come a long way, though! She loves to run in the grass and she plays with the other two dogs all the time.

Delilah would do best in a home with another dog since she seems to be more comfortable with other dogs around. Her new home will need to be patient with Delilah and allow her time to adjust. She needs a fenced in yard as she will not go potty on leash - Delilah likes her privacy! She isn't interested in the two cats she is in foster with and she does fine with the 7 yr old child in the home. She isn't fazed when he has friends over to play. If you can provide a forever home to Delilah, apply today!

Delilah is a female boxer who was surrendered to rescue from a puppy mill. Delilah is finally getting to learn what living in a a house is all about. She was afraid of stepping on the grass and she needs some TLC (she already got a nail trim and two bubble baths yesterday!).

Delilah is getting along really well with the other two dogs in her foster home - a 12 year old male and a 5 year old female.  She will wiggle her butt for them and seems to play a little bit with them. Delilah is also living with a 7 year old child and she lets him pet her with no problems. She is in foster with two cats and Delilah doesn't seem the least bit interested in them.

She is very sweet and I think once she gets more comfortable with people, she will relax a lot more. She is a very pretty girl. Delilah will be spayed soon and her foster mom will post more info as she gets to know her better.

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.
