Noel is in urgent need of a new foster home.  She is extremely affectionate with people and loves to snuggle. Noel does not jump up or climb on people. She adores her foster brother, a male boxer, and takes a lot of comfort from him. They sleep together at night and Noel loves to play out in the yard with him.  She is very eager to please and loves affection even more than treats. Noel walks well on leash.

Because Noel can be anxious when left alone, she would do best in a home with another dog and with somebody there often for her. She is not a fan of the crate - Noel gets very scared when confined.  She has come a long way since coming to rescue.  Please offer to foster Noel so she doesn't have to be at the kennel, which would be devastating for her.

Noel continues to do well at her foster home.  She gets along great with her foster brother and has been left in an area with him when home alone.  Noel would do best in a home with a male dog, as she enjoys having another dog around in her home.  Included are some new pictures of Noel.

Noel is housebroken, but fears being left alone in confined spaces. She sleeps quietly in a crate at night by our bedroom door--so long as we are near enough for her to sense. When left alone, she patrols the house and naps with her foster brother. She is steadily gaining weight and Noel just loves people.

Noel has arrived at her new foster home and is doing great with her boxer brother.  She is very thin, but is eager to eat - so should put on weight quickly. Noel is very affectionate with people and just loves attention. Her foster mom will be updating her page once she gets to know her better. Included are a few new pictures of sweet Noel!

Poor Noel was found chained to a guard rail in a wide spot along the road just a week before Christmas. She was put in the drop off box at a shelter by the person who found her - he came to the shelter the following day and said he didn't know what to do with her. Noel is very thin and in need of TLC. Everybody who has met Noel has commented about what a sweet and gentle girl she is. The volunteers at the shelter indicate that Noel seems to do well with other dogs. She will be going into her foster home on Christmas Eve, so Noel will have a warm, loving home for the holidays. Noel will be in foster with a male boxer. We will update her page as soon as her foster mom gets to know her better.

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.
