Uno is doing great at our house! He has made a lot of improvement with his initial greetings with new people. Uno now knows to sit and wait at his spot while the person first enters into our home. He does still bark and does a small growl when the person first enters, but as long as the person ignores him - it takes only a minute for him to walk up to them, lick their hand, and give them paw.

Uno is a huge love bug! He loves kids, other dogs, and walks are his favorite! He walks great on a leash and loves car rides. He is very smart and catches on to things immediately! Uno is amazing with small children!  He is house trained and crate trained. Uno loves being with his family and is almost always cuddled up with one of the kids or laying right under our feet. Uno would fit great in a home with other dogs and children. He needs someone with patience who can give him some time to adjust initially to his new home and surroundings.

Uno is being returned to rescue to find a better match for him. He is currently living with two twin 2 year old boys and a 3 year old child - Uno does wonderful with all of the children. He is also living with a senior female boxer and getting along great with her.

During the last month in his new home, Uno has become increasingly fearful with new people coming in and out. His family has consulted a trainer, who was very optimistic about being able to work through this. His owners did not feel they had the time or resources, and were not comfortable working with him to modify this behavior. Uno is now in need of a foster or forever home. He would do best in a quiet home with somebody experienced with this breed. Apply today if you are interested in fostering or adopting Uno!

Uno is sadly being surrendered to rescue due to a child's allergies in the home and a change in life circumstances, which has resulted in Uno having to spend too much time alone.  Uno is a friendly boy who knows all of his basic commands.  He is looking for a home with a fenced yard, as this is something he is used to and enjoys.  He is reported to be completely housebroken and also crate trained.  Uno loves balls and Kong toys.  He enjoys attention from people and will follow you around the house.  Uno is reported to be good with children of all ages and with other dogs.  He has been well cared for and kept up to date on all vet care.  Apply today if you are a match for Uno!

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.
