A city boy turned farm boy...that is Apollo! That is right, Apollo is being fostered on a horse farm and he LOVES it! He's doing perfectly fine with the other dogs and the barn cats. He also doesn't mind the horses. He gets LOTS of attention from all the folks at the barn - they all love him and think he is the sweetest thing. He spends the nice days outside and the not so nice ones in his own cozy little apartment. We are still working on his skin, but it is coming along nicely. If you are looking for a laid-back addition to your household, Apollo is your guy! Apply for him today!

1/28/12 -

Poor Apollo was surrendered to the shelter in terrible shape. He has a yeast infection and Demodex mange. Demodex is not contagious to other animals, however it is very itchy and uncomfortable and has caused him to have open sores all over his body. AABR stepped in to save this sweet old gentleman and has started treatment to get him over his skin issues. He will start feeling so much better in no time!

The previous owners said that Apollo lived with children. He is an older, gentle guy that is content with some scratches and pets and just to be near you laying on something warm and comfy. Apollo will be going to a foster home so he can heal from his skin issues and so that we can learn a bit more about him. He is up to date on vaccines and neutered.

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.
