12/31/11 Dexter
has adjusted to his foster home with no difficulty whatsoever. He has been
with me for one week now and I can say without hesitation that he is truly a
one-of-a-kind dog!! Certainly, his brindle coat is incredibly shiny and soft
and his face is very handsome, but it is his personality that is his
greatest attribute. Dexter is obedient, playful, independent, and loving. He
would make a great family dog and a great companion for an individual.
Dexter would be a great buddy for any dog who is already in a home. He is
a lot of fun to have around. I have not had to do much training with him,
with the exception of teaching him not to jump on people when he gets
excited. He is doing very well – Dexter is very treat-motivated, which makes
training a breeze! He does not pull on the leash and he knows his basic
commands such as sit, down, stay.
Dexter’s best buddy, Ceasar, is with him, and the two of them are
incredible together! In many ways, it’s like having one dog, just in two
bodies – they play together, potty together, and sleep together. One likes
toys (Ceasar) and the other likes balls (Dexter). Ultimately, the pair is as
great (if not greater) than the two apart. I was concerned two dogs would
mean twice as much effort, but the opposite has proven true. They keep each
other company while I’m away at the office. Having each other, they are
happy, balanced, fun, energetic, and great dogs.
Dexter is ready for his forever home and would do best with a family or
individual that can give him the love and attention he deserves. Adopting
him and his best friend Ceasar together would double a family’s joy!
10/15/11 -
Dexter and Ceasar are being surrendered to rescue because their owner is
not able to provide enough time and attention for them. We would love to
place these two boys together, but will also consider a home with an
existing dog for each of them.
Dexter is 6 years old. He is very friendly and playful. Dexter rides well
in the car and is great on leash. He is completely housebroken. Dexter is
reported to be good with other dogs - he just wants to play. Dexter has gone
to the dog park several times and has play dates with a family member's dog.
If you can provide a forever home to Dexter and Ceasar, apply today for this
great pair!

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.
