My name is Tank and I've settled into my foster home rather well. I get along great with my boxer sisters and I especially love my foster skin sister. She's 9 months old and I cuddle close to her and allow her to crawl on me. I love to give gentle kisses and I'm rather slobbery, like most doggies. I enjoy mealtime and now I realize that I'll always be fed regularly so I don't gulp down my food as quickly as I once did. I don't mind when my foster mom gives me a bath or cleans my ears, I'm just happy for attention!

I don't enjoy being in a crate, but when my foster mom is at work she puts me in a spare bedroom and I'm okay until she gets home that evening. I'm totally housebroken and I have fantastic manners. I don't jump up on visitors, but I do expect a pat on the head, ya know! I sit and give my paw for treats! I walk GREAT on a leash and love everyone that I meet. My foster mom takes me for rides in the car and I enjoy looking out the window. Won't you consider giving me a forever home and family?

AABR received the 11th hour call on two neglect cases from a rescue volunteer at a shelter.  There were two boxers at the shelter that had been removed from a home due to neglect.  Their time was up due to lack of space.  Thank you Furry Friends Network for contacting us to save them!

Meet Tank and Bella!  They are sweet, 6 year old siblings that have not been able to live a kind life until today.  They are quite thin, but in good spirits.  Both are very sweet with people.  Tank and Bella are altered and do well with other dogs.  They were also cat tested - Tank seemed fine with a non reactive cat.   Tank is now in foster with two female dogs and a small child.  He is doing great!  Bella will be going into foster with a male boxer. We will update their pages as we learn more about them.

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.
