Buddha is settling in great at his foster home.  He is getting along well with his foster sister, a female boxer.  Buddha is 100% housetrained and has great manners.  He knows his basic commands such as sit, paw, down, and speak.  He does not jump, but Buddha is a very active boy.  He loves to play fetch and will keep bringing his ball back to you.

Buddha is not a fan of the crate, but he does well with his foster sister given free run of the house during the day.  He typically lays on the couch and waits patiently for me to come home.  When it is bedtime, he is ready for lights out and will snuggle all night until you wake him up in the morning.  Then he will do a great wiggle dance and put the biggest smile on your face.

Buddha has been a pleasure to have in my home.  He is great in the car and loves to go.  We are still working on his leash manners, as he tends to pull because he gets so excited.  He is not a fan of my cats and would do best in a home without them. 

Buddha's previous paperwork indicated that he may have been hit by a car or had some kind of injury to his front leg three years ago.  He had an x-ray on Monday and it was confirmed that he does have some arthritis due to a previous fracture that was never treated.  Buddha will sometimes limp on it, but it typically does not bother him much.  This boy is full of life and can go, go, go!!  He would do best in a home with a fenced yard and another dog.  Buddha is truly an amazing boy with beautiful velvet-like ears and a face that is hard to say no to.

Buddha is an adorable 5 year old boxer who was surrendered to the shelter when his owner became pregnant. He previously lived with a male Rottie and is reported to be good with other dogs.  Buddha is very sweet with people and he loves to cuddle. He just went to his new foster home with a female boxer and cats.  We will update Buddha's page once we learn more about him.

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.
