Gus has put on some much needed weight and was able to be neutered two weeks ago.  He is full of energy and very playful, so would benefit from a fenced yard at his new home.  Gus is learning commands such as stay, off, down, and leave it.  We are working on his socialization with people and other dogs.  Gus went on a trip to Pet Smart last week and did well.

Gus loves nothing better than to snuggle with his people. He enjoys just hanging out on the sofa with me.  Gus has learned to play well with his foster sister and brother, but needs continued work with introductions to new dogs coming into his home.  Gus has come a really long way in the six weeks he has been in foster.  We feel he is ready for a forever family.  Apply today for Gus!

Gus has been with us in foster for three weeks now. When he came into our home, he thought that he would be the alpha dog. He does need continued socialization with other dogs and would do best with a dog closer to his size. Gus was also extremely thin, and we immediately started to work on getting a few more pounds on him. Gus is eating three small meals a day. He loves being around his foster mom and dad. Gus is enjoying the comforts of being an indoor dog. For all he has been through, Gus is a total love bug! If you are willing to continue to work on his manners and socialization, Gus will become the perfect boxer boy - he has so much potential.   

8/24/12 -

Gus is a handsome brindle boy who was found as a stray. He is very thin and needs to gain some much needed weight before he can be neutered. Gus did well with the other dogs he was introduced to at the shelter.  He also seemed to ignore the cats he met.  Gus is very sweet with people. He will going to his foster home this weekend and we will update his page once his foster family learns more about him. Thank you for your interest in Gus!

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.
