King is doing so well! He has learned to go on walks and does very nicely on the leash. He loves other dogs. He is a very shy guy, as many puppy mill dogs are, but he is getting much better. He loves his foster family and quickly learns to like new people when he's given the chance. He loves toys and running around the yard. Chasing dogs, toys, or even a butterfly are all great past-times for this little sweetie. King is a special little guy. He's on the smaller side for a boxer but that doesn't stop him from having a great time! Please consider giving King a forever home today!

Look at that face! What a cutie! King has come a long way since coming to foster. He is still a pretty shy guy, but he is getting better. He loves, loves, loves other dogs and doesn't seem to mind cats at all. He is quite a love bug. He would beat any one if there was a world championship in snuggling -he's the best. King always wants to be where the people are and loves to curl up next to human or canine for a snooze.

King will be 9 months old in February. He has the energy of a puppy, so he's looking for a home with another dog that has lots of energy to play. He also is a bit scared now, so he will need a home with a fenced yard and someone that wants to help build his confidence. Because of his shy temperament, King will not be placed in a home with an invisible fence or no fence. King is a special, gentle little boy. Please consider giving him a forever home today!

Included is a brief video of King and his brother, Duke:

This little cutie is growing up and doing great!  King is a shy guy that is learning about the big world. He recently went on a road trip to NY and did well in the car, sleeping the whole way there. He is quite the little snuggle bug and thinks that any human or dog he can find makes the best pillow. King needs a forever home to help him continue to gain confidence. He will do best in a home with another dog that is looking for a fun playmate and a fenced yard. King loves, loves, loves toys and playing with other dogs. Please consider giving this little guy a home of his own.

Hi Folks! I'm King! In case you can't tell from the pictures, I am a 7 month old puppy. I'm told I am very cute, which I have to agree with. Before coming, I didn't have a lot of experience in a house - but I am learning pretty quickly. I know how to use the stairs, sit quietly in my crate, and eat all my food without help. I'm learning to use a leash and my foster mom says I'm almost completely housebroken. I LOVE toys! Really, I love them! They are the best invention ever! I like to chew on them, throw them up in the air, chase them, well, just about anything! I also love other doggies. I live with a bunch of foster brothers and sisters, large and small. I like to play with them a lot! I also really like to cuddle.

I'm still a bit shy of this big world, so I hope I can find a home that will help me come out of my shell. My foster mom keeps talking about finding my forever home. I don't know what that is, but I've been looking for it! Apparently when I find it, its gonna be pretty special. Do you know where I can find a forever home? I hope I find one soon.

King has arrived at his foster home and is adjusting to life inside of a home.  Included are some new pictures from his transport today.  His foster mom will update his page once she gets to know him better.

King and several of his littermates are being transported into rescue within the next two weeks.  These puppies developed the adenovirus at 6 weeks of age.  Because they were sick when they were younger, the breeder was not able to sell them at that time.  They have now fully recovered and are ready for forever homes!  AABR has committed to helping these beautiful puppies find lifelong, wonderful homes. 

Please keep in mind that puppies require a lot of work!  If you are interested in a boxer this age, please make sure you are committed and ready before you apply! To be considered for a six month old boxer, you must have the time and energy to work on socialization and housebreaking. Somebody should be home enough to accommodate the needs of a boxer this age.  If you do not have an appropriate home for a puppy or are not interested in a boxer this age, please consider adopting one of our many other available adults for adoption.

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.
