Layla was an owner surrender to a high kill shelter in North Carolina.  Owner surrenders at this shelter can be euthanized within 24 hours of intake if the shelter is full. The owners said they had sick relatives and couldn’t care for their dog.

AABR was asked to help this young girl. Layla had been well cared for - she was spayed, heartworm negative, and parasite free. She does have a mild case of demodex mange. Layla is in a temporary foster home until she can be transported up north.  She gets along with the female Lab dogs in her foster home and Layla loves people! She has a wonderful personality - Layla is friendly, curious, quiet, and playful. Her foster mom takes her to work and she is well behaved. She knows sit and Layla is also housebroken and crate trained. She is a bit nervous when left alone and will counter surf, so Layla is crated when she is left at home.  Her foster mom thinks she will eventually settle in and not have to be crated. Layla likes a warm bed and prefers being on the furniture.  If you can provide a foster or forever home for Layla, get your application in 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.
