This happy guy is quickly picking up his new life style. We are pleased to say that Galen has most of his commands mastered (sit, stay and come) and he is fully house broken. He had a visit to the salon where he was loved by everyone and he enjoyed being pampered. Galen is still being crated during the day while his foster parents are at work, but has full run of the house while they are at home and he does great. Galen sleeps in the crate, but is about to embark on sleeping in a dog bed in the bedroom - we are hoping that is a hit! He loves his BIG foster sister and wants to play constantly and is great at taking orders from her. He is very loving to all, small children included, and has met many new furry friends in the last few weeks and does great with them as well. We cant believe he hasn't gotten a furever home yet. Apply now to add this happy boy to your family!

Galen has adapted amazingly well to a cozy home life during the last two weeks. He is our gentle giant. Galen is doing great with house training. He does need to be crated when we are at work, but while we are here he has free reign of the house and has had only one accident on his arrival. Galen is great around children of all ages, from newborn up. He has also done well with any adult who has come to our home. Galen is very loving and takes treats or snacks so easy. He is not a jumper at all.

Galen has been around both male and female dogs with no problem. We do think he would do better with an in-charge female, as he tries to take over with dogs that are smaller and more submissive. Galen needs a leader who can continue his training and socialization. He is looking for a home with a standard fence, as he really benefits from having a secure place to run. 

Galen has done well in the car. He recently went to the beach and slept most of the 3 hour trip. Galen is happy to go for walks and he has already figured out that as soon as you pick up his leash, that means walk time. We love Galen and hope someone has the perfect place for him, as he will show you great love and affection given the chance.

AABR received a call for help when six boxers were removed from a property due to neglect. All of the dogs were being kept in the yard without proper food, water, or shelter. Most of them are very thin and need some TLC.  They have not been taught much and need a home that can provide training and guidance for them. The six boxers were removed to the care of a veterinarian, where they have been given a flea bath, dewormed, and vaccinated.  AABR will be transporting them this weekend. 

Galen is an adorable white male.  He is strong on leash and needs some work on his manners.  Galen is very thin and in need of some TLC.  He will be going into a foster home with a female boxer.  We will update his page once we know more about him.  Apply today for Galen!

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.
