Major had his heartworm treatment and is recovering nicely. He is a lovable dog with super soft fur and the cutest big eyes that melt your heart in a second! When you get home, Major is at the door with either a rubber chicken or a stuffed moose waiting to play. He loves attention and affection and is very affectionate in return. Major loves to snuggle and he thinks he is a lap dog...and we don't mind him on our laps!

Major gets along well with our boxer Dixie (formerly Junebug, also from the rescue) and other dogs as well. Major is on the right side in the picture with 2 dogs. He is housebroken and has yet to have an accident in our home. Major is good with older kids, but has trouble understanding how to act and play with the little ones. Major knows most basic commands and listens well. He does chase cats, squirrels and birds and is good at notifying you when someone is near your house or at the door. Overall, Major is a fantastic lovable dog that we enjoy having as a foster and will surely make a great pet in his forever home.

Major and his brother, Mojo, were surrendered to the city shelter when the owner started to travel too much for work and could no longer care for them. They are very sweet and happy boys with a great boxer wiggle. The owner said they got along well with other dogs and all people. Major was recently seen by our vet and we discovered that he is heartworm positive.  He will be going to his new foster home tomorrow.  Major was very attached to his brother and would do best in a home with at least one other dog.  Apply today if you are interested in adopting this handsome boy!

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.
