Jade originally came to the shelter as a very skinny stray. She was picked up by animal control after somebody called in to report that Jade was rummaging through people's trash for food. Jade was spayed and brought up to date on all vet care while at the shelter. She was adopted, but was later returned to the shelter due to a fixation with the cats in her home. When she was returned, Jade was then in danger of being euthanized.  Thankfully, one of the volunteers reached out to rescues to find help for this sweet and loving girl!

Jade is deaf and she is estimated to be around 10 months old. She is still very much a puppy and will need a home with enough time to work on her manners and obedience skills. She does like to jump up and can be a little mouthy when playing, so a home with older children would be best. Jade is very loving and always greets people with lots of wiggles. She loves other dogs and would do best in a home with a male dog as a companion. Jade does need some work on her crate training. Because she is deaf, we are looking for a home with a secure, fenced yard for her.

Jade was one of the favorites at the shelter and she has so much potential! Don't let the fact that she is deaf cause any reservations - working with a deaf dog is not much different than training a hearing dog.  We have volunteers in the rescue who are great resources. You can also visit www.deafdogs.org to learn some common misconceptions and also some training techniques. If you can provide a forever home for Jade, apply 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.
