Zeke is doing great in his foster home. He has put on some much needed weight and will be getting neutered this week. Zeke is big love and just wants to be near his people. He is learning that he is not a lap dog though! He is very smart and learns quickly. Zeke is understanding now that he has to use a crate and has gotten much better about going in on his own. He walks very nicely on a leash and he listens well during his walks.

Zeke has been going to work with me where he is around 2 other dogs and a cat. I think he just discovered the cat the other day. He does not show much interest in them - they all hang around me together all afternoon. Zeke is learning how to play with another dog. He can be a little timid as a lot of things are new to him. Zeke does well with the children he sees, but we have not been around any really small children at this point. Zeke does know most basic commands and picks things up quickly. He rides in the car like a champ. He loves attention and snuggling with people. It is clear that he missed being around people while in the kennel. We are working on him sitting next to, not on me!

Zeke is a delight to have around and is very mellow for a boxer. He likes to play with his toys and loves his walks. I can honestly not say enough good stuff about this boy. He is truly just a joy.

Zeke is in urgent need of a foster home, or better yet - a forever family!  He is not gaining weight at the kennel and is very thin.  Zeke is in need of some TLC.  Once he has gained some weight, he will be able to be neutered.  Zeke is a friendly, young boy.  Please apply today to help 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.
