Tonka is being surrendered to rescue because his family can not provide him with the time, training, and exercise that he needs. They got Tonka when he was 8 weeks old from a breeder. He recently turned 4 years old. Tonka lives with three children (ages 2, 3, and 11 years old) and also a cat.

Tonka is currently crated when visitors come over because he does like to jump on people. Our volunteer that met Tonka indicated that he gets very excited with new people. Tonka is looking for an experienced home that can provide some much needed training.  Tonka is used to a fenced yard and would benefit from having this at his new home.

Tonka is very friendly with people.  He is currently crated when nobody is home and also during the night. His owners report that Tonka knows commands for shake, sit, stay, jump, and come - but he gets too excited to show these when there is company. Tonka really needs a family willing to spend some time with him to learn proper manners.  If you have what it takes for Tonka, get your application in today!

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.
