Desi is doing well in foster and she is such a love! She is a happy girl and full of boxer wiggles. Desi was in a temporary foster home with three children (ages 19 months, 4, and 5) and she did great with them. She loved to be around them and always gave the kids lots of kisses. Desi walks well on leash. She is crate trained and enjoys cuddling up on the couch. She is looking for a family who is patient and will give her time to become comfortable in a new environment. Desi is a very smart girl and picks things up quickly. She is an amazing dog and would love to find a forever home of her own!

Desi is directly behind me on a soft bed as I type this update.  Desi is learning what it is like to go for a car ride and she likes it. She has not had any accidents and is a smart girl.  Desi had all of her shots today and was microchipped. She was loaded with ear mites, but we got that taken care of today as well. She had her Heartworm/Lyme test - which was negative. Her blood work was great. She is all set for her spay in the morning. 

Desi loves to play and even chased a ball today out in my fenced yard. She goes in the crate with a good treat and once she is in, she settles down quickly.  Desi is a very athletic girl. Her gorgeous coat is a pretty red color.  If I didn't have 4 other dogs here, I would love to snuggle on the sofa with her as she is looking for love and affection that the mill stole from her.  She met the cat at the vet's office today and would do best in a home without cats. 

I cannot get over what great dogs Desi and Mindy are - in spite of all the neglect and hardships they had to suffer in the mill.  They both have a great boxer spirit.

Desi was surrendered to AABR from a puppy mill. She is now in foster with several other dogs. Desi's foster mom describes her as super sweet. She is loving life in her foster home. Desi is doing well with the other dogs and she loves everyone who comes near her. She is crate trained and doing fantastic on her potty skills for day one of being in a home. Desi will be vetted and spayed this week. She is a proud puppymill survivor who is now on to better things.

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.
