Olaf came to us with severe demodex mange. He had no hair on parts of his trunk, legs and face, and he was also suffering from a secondary skin infection.  It is amazing what proper nutrition and care will do. Olaf has improved drastically since he was first taken into rescue. He now has a beautiful new coat and a great personality to match.  This adorable boy is still looking for a forever home. Please consider adopting Olaf and giving him the wonderful home he deserves.

Olaf is in temporary foster and doing really well. He is such a big goofball. He loves all toys and enjoys playing fetch. He gets along with other dogs, but really likes to be around people. He knows some basic commands and needs some work on his leash manners. His Demodex mange is responding well to the ivermectin treatment and Olaf is turning out to be a super handsome boy. Please apply to foster or adopt this super cute and sweet boxer boy.

Olaf is a super sweet boxer boy suffering form a severe case of demodex mange.  He was rescued from a shelter in South Carolina. A local rescue sent AABR his photos and asked if we could help this poor boy. His face and body were covered with sores and puss from the mange.  He also has a secondary skin infection.

We immediately had him pulled from the shelter and brought to a local vet for medical attention. Olaf's condition is the result of neglect. Demodex Mange is highly treatable.  Things that probably contributed to his poor condition were bad nutrition and a stressful environment.  Please help AABR pay for his medical care by sponsoring sweet Olaf.

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.
