5/2/12 Wow! What
a sweetheart this guy is! Oscar is a big barrel of kid-loving, lap-sitting,
kiss-giving lovebug! Don't let his size scare you - Oscar is just a
fun-loving, mellow guy. He likes to play, but not all crazy -just enough! He
loves other dogs, but what he likes most is people. He will follow you
around like glue. As long as you are nice to him, he's your shadow. Oscar
was living long days and nights in a crate at his previous home, but now he
crated for much shorter periods of time. He does just great in a
house. Oscar is crate trained, house-broken, and does pretty well on the
leash. What he likes to do most is be where you are. If you let him on the
couch, he'll snuggle right up to you, even if he doesn't "quite" fit. We
hope Oscar finds a family that will love him. He deserves it. This guy is
awesome!

Oscar
will be arriving at his new foster home on Wednesday. Until then, he
has been in a temporary foster home with both large and small dogs. He
even got a chance to spend time with Farley at one of AABR's adoption events
over the weekend, where he met lots of new people! Oscar has tested
positive for Lymes, but he has been started on treatment.
Oscar's temporary foster mom indicates that he is a gentle giant.
He is a love bug with people and he adores children. Oscar has been
very polite to the new dogs he has met and has even tried to engage one of
the smaller dogs with play bows. Anytime you start to pet him, he
rolls over on his belly as if to say "um, belly scratch, please". And if he
is standing, he will give you his paw but its really just an act. He starts
with his one paw and then when you take his paw, he uses that as leverage to
get the other paw up and before you know it, you're holding his paws and
he's licking your face and there's nothing you can do about it because you
don't want to drop him. Its a very good trick. If you are interested in
adopting this sweet and easygoing boy, apply today!
4/1/12 -
Oscar and his sister, Sophie, are being surrendered to rescue.
Their owners recently went through a divorce and Oscar's dad is now working
long days. Oscar and Sophie are being kept in the crate 14 hours/day
and their owner has come to the difficult decision that it would be best to
find them a new home. They have been moved to an apartment without a
yard, which they really miss having. Their owner feels they need to go
to a home that can provide more time and attention, as being left alone this
long every day is not fair to them.
The volunteer that met Oscar indicated that he has a wonderful
disposition. He loves attention and had lots of kisses for our
volunteer. Oscar currently lives with two children, ages 7 and 9.
He was in a home for a short period of time with a Saint Bernard and a cat,
and Oscar did well with both.
Oscar is a very laid back and easy going boy. He is a big, long
legged boy. Oscar is crate trained and housetrained. He walks
well on leash. Oscar has been neutered and well taken care of.
Oscar and Sophie are going to be wonderful additions to a lucky family.
We would love to place them together, but will also separate them to find
Oscar and Sophie a foster or forever home.

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.
