Mattie recently attended an adoption event and she was a huge hit!  Everybody wanted the chance to hold Mattie and snuggle with her.  She is just the sweetest girl and being blind doesn't slow her down a bit.  Mattie loves other dogs and would love to have a sibling at her new home.  If you can provide a forever home for this adorable puppy, apply today!

As you can see from the new pictures, Mattie is thriving in her foster home! Even though she is blind, it doesn't slow her down at all. She has quickly learned the layout of her home. Mattie loves other dogs and is a very energetic and playful puppy. She would love to have a young male dog in her new home to run and wrestle with.

Mattie visited the ophthalmologist last week. She was diagnosed with congenital abnormalities and cataracts in her eyes, which are not correctable with surgery. She does not have any functional vision, but the ophthalmologist gave her a good prognosis and indicated she should function remarkably well. Mattie would do best with a fenced yard and in a home that has the time to accommodate the needs of a puppy this age.  If you can provide a forever home for Mattie, apply today!

Mattie is an adorable boxer puppy who is estimated to be around 10 weeks old.  She was found abandoned in a neighborhood on Christmas morning.  The young boy who found her went searching door to door for her owners, but nobody knew who this puppy belonged to.  Mattie was eventually taken to the shelter.  She was transported yesterday to her new foster home with AABR.  Mattie is such a sweet puppy - she loves to snuggle in next to you and quickly falls asleep in your arms. 

Our rescue vet examined Mattie and indicated that she has a congenital cataract in her left eye and her pupil does not dilate in her right eye.  He feels Mattie is blind and has been this way since birth.  She will be visiting our ophthalmologist soon to find out more information regarding her eyes. 

Since Mattie is a young puppy, she is looking for a home where there is somebody home enough to work on her housebreaking and socialization.  She would do best in a home with another dog and a fenced yard.  Mattie's foster family will post an update as soon as they learn more about this sweet girl.  Please consider contributing to Mattie's care!

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.
