Boomer is still at the vet's.  Dr Kross reports that he is housebroken, walks well on leash and is well mannered and has a great disposition.  He has examined him and the poor guy is emaciated, has hook worms and is heart worm positive.  He has been neutered and brought UTD of shots. 

Donations would be appreciated to help us take care of his medical expenses.

06/23/11 - Meet Boomer

Intake Reason - The Mayor’s Alliance for NYC's Animals called to say they had found a young male boxer in the basement of a home where the owner was taken to jail. A kind neighbor held the dog in her yard until the transporter came and brought him to our vet.

The neighbor and transporter both agree that he is a very sweet dog... "you really couldn't ask for a better behaved dog. Even when we gave this poor boy food, I put my hand by the dish and he didn't even flinch, just wagged his tail. He licked me, my son and his friends, not knowing any of us. Just happy to see people and to be loved."

And he has a name... It's Boomer, and he is about 3 years old. And he is very skinny... emaciated... He is at the vets and we will give you an update as soon as we learn more.

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.
