We are sad to report that Hope has crossed the Rainbow Bridge.  Thank you to her foster mom for taking such great care of her for the past 3 months. 

11/19/11 -

Advancing age is a significant disadvantage in the civilized nations of the world, whether it appears in a dog or in a person. When the mentality is added to the throw-away society, the result is that little thought is given to preservation or conservation, and even more so little patience is applied to making possessions or relationships last.  If it's old or broken, obsolete or unattractive -it is put in the trash. When it comes to dogs, we see heart-breaking examples of this mentality.  In many cases, people think of a dog as a disposable possession rather than a companion with whom they are in a relationship. This is what happened to Hope. She was discarded on the side of the road at the age of 14-15.  This is unthinkable, but in our world so true. 

Please give Hope some hope for a better life and let her know the kindness of the world. Thus far, it has been so unkind. Please offer her a loving home for the remainder of her time with us! Hope is a loving 14 year old lady; fondly referred to as Old Mother "Hope". She was a stray that the shelter was going to euthanize due to age and obvious neglect as they deemed her unadoptable.

AABR and our wonderful foster home saved her! She has been fully vetted and has some meds that will help her old age conditions that were neglected for years. Her foster Mom sates her nub now wags when she sees her, so she now knows the kindness of life! Please consider opening your heart to this old girl.  I promise you she will give you more than you can ever give her and your life will be changed forever!

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.
