Samson is all you would expect a young boxer to be. He walks around with the biggest smile on his face and lit up as soon as he realized he was going for a walk! He enjoys soaking up the sun and rolling around in the grass! He was an absolute joy to be around!

Samson needs some work walking on a leash, but I think he will pick it up rather quickly. He was friendly to the other dogs and people that we met outside. He would benefit being with a person or family with a big yard and lots of space for him to run around to burn off energy. If you're looking for an energetic and happy boxer boy, Samson is the right pick for you! He will give you lots of love, wiggles, and kisses!

Samson and Rocky are coming into rescue due to unfortunate life changes with their current family.  In only a year, they have lost their home twice.  AABR received a plea for help from a woman facing a divorce.  The husband had taken the dogs from his friend seven months ago when that person was losing his home.

Samson and Rocky have been living in the basement and are crated for long periods of time, sometimes 12-14 hours without a break. Samson and Rocky currently live with a 2 month old child. They are reported to be wonderful with children of all ages, although Samson may knock down a toddler due to his energy level. Samson is 1.5 years old.

 Our volunteer went to meet them and indicated both have wonderful temperaments. Samson is not handling the confinement as well as Rocky. He really needs a chance to run and exercise more than he is getting. Samson will need some work on his obedience commands. He is crate trained and loves attention.

These boys needs to get out of this situation as soon as possible! They will be transported to our vet's office soon, where they will be neutered and brought up to date on all vet care. Please offer to foster or adopt Samson! He is in urgent need of a stable home environment, where he can get daily exercise and some much needed attention.

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.
