We picked Glenda up from the animal hospital on Saturday. I heard that she was a special girl who touched the hearts of all the people at the shelter and the clinic, so I couldn't wait to meet her. I don't think I anticipated how quickly I would fall in love with her. To say she is soooo sweet and loving is an understatement...she just melts your heart!

It's hard for me to imagine the kind of life Glenda had prior to coming into rescue. It appears she was "dumped" by someone after they bred her to have puppies. She nursed her pups even while she was being starved and neglected. In the process, she developed an awful infection in her mammary gland and then was left on the streets to fend for herself. It makes me sad to look at her sweet face and think of all she has been through...but she seems to be taking it all in stride. She is such a polite house guest and is completely housebroken. She doesn't make a peep in her crate and just appears to be content to have a warm place to lay her head while she continues to heal. As she continues to improve and once she puts on a little weight, she will be ready to be spayed. Thank you for your interest in this sweet girl!

Glenda was found as a stray and is estimated to be around 4 years old.  This poor girl is in terrible condition right now - she is emaciated and has an open wound from an abscessed or infected mammary gland.  Despite everything, Glenda is a very lovable girl who is full of wiggles.  She will be seen at our rescue vet and then will be going to her new foster home!  Thank you for your interest in Glenda!

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.
