A woman brought two female boxers into a LI animal shelter saying she found them both a few blocks away. The shelter staff could tell that these two wonderful boxers had had many litters, and that they were being unceremoniously dumped by this backyard breeder, probably because she had no use for them anymore. It would have been far better for the girls, if she had handed them over with names and some medical records and history.

Meet Abby -

 Abby is about 2.5 years old, very confident and outgoing. Because the shelter was full, the shelter manager put her and her fellow dumpee, Heidi, a brindle female about the same age, in the same kennel. There they stayed, sharing the space, eating and sleeping together, and playing together when they got to go to the yard. Heidi is a little more timid, but warms up very quickly.

They, and we, were lucky to get a new foster home that took in both of them. They are fitting in nicely and have two human teenage siblings. We will update the site when we learn more about them, but we can tell that these girls will fit into most any good home.

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.
