Coco's auto immune disorder is in remission with medication.  She is also on a special diet.  Coco is a very smart and loving girl.  She likes to be indoors and close by when I am working at my computer.  Coco is also a great snuggler!  She doesn't have much interest in other dogs; however, she gets along fine with them.  When visitors come over, Coco expects attention and will let out a howl to let you know she is there.  It is very funny!  She will occasionally play with a ball and she enjoys puzzle toys.  Her favorite activities are eating and watching the birds outside. 

Coco attended the Bark Benefit Days adoption event at the end of April and she was a huge hit!  As you can see from the picture, it is hard work enjoying all the attention!  Coco is still in need of a new foster placement due to her current home's work hours. If you are interested in fostering or adopting Coco, apply today!

Coco is in need of a new foster home. Her current foster family works most weekends and evenings and is finding it difficult to give Coco the attention she needs. She is looking for a new foster home that is willing to work with her as she continues to improve medically. Coco recently attended an adoption event in Maryland. She was the star of the show. Everyone loved her and she just couldn't get enough kisses and hugs. Please consider fostering or adopting her today!

Coco has come really far!  New pictures are posted and her skin has completely cleared up!  She is a very sweet and playful girl.  Apply today to learn more about Coco.

As you can see from her new photo, Coco has come a long way! She no longer has a staph infection. She does have a condition known as Phempigus, which is an auto immune disorder. Coco is on daily medication and will require rechecks by a dermatologist. Her breakouts seem to be under control right now and we are hoping to continue to reduce her medication. Coco is a sweet girl who absolutely loves people. Apply today if you are interested in adopting Coco.

Coco is doing well with her treatment. She has seen the dermatologist several times and we are working to get the appropriate medications in place for her. Coco's skin has improved since she came into rescue. She will need regular follow ups with a dermatologist in her forever home, but we are hopeful her skin will continue to improve and her break outs and vet visits will be less often. 

Coco is a very smart, sweet, and gentle young girl. She knows all of her basic commands. Coco loves attention and will snuggle up against your legs when you sit near her. She loves all people and lives to eat!  Coco also enjoys going for walks and car rides. She is well mannered and does not jump up. If you are interested in learning more about Coco or providing a forever home for her, apply today!

Coco is now in her foster home and adjusting really well. She had her first bath and felt much better afterward. She loves her new food and we are working on getting her an appointment soon with a dermatologist. We will post more about Coco as her foster mom gets to know her better and as soon as we have more information following her vet appointment.

6/25/11 -

Coco was surrendered to the shelter because her owners could no longer afford her medical care. Coco is three years old, spayed, and has suffered a skin infection for the past six months that has not cleared up. The family has taken Coco to their regular vet and a dermatologist, who diagnosed a severe staph infection that had become resistant to the antibiotics she had been getting.

Coco is going to her foster home today and AABR will be working to treat her skin condition. The previous owners reported that Coco is incredibly sweet. She lived with a 9 month old child who crawled all over her. Coco loves children and is very sweet with people. She attended doggy daycare and enjoys being around other dogs.

Please sponsor Coco so we are able to help this girl get over her skin infection and into a forever home! We will update her page as soon as we have more information.

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.
