Dottie is enjoying her life outside of the puppy mill and acts like a young, carefree dog. She loves to play with squeaky toys and tennis balls, and is interacting well with the resident dogs. Dottie is a wonderful dog- sweet, smart, obedient, and house trained. She is active, but also likes to cuddle. Dottie is a ton of fun and keeps you entertained with her noises and antics. She LOVES human companionship and will make someone very happy when adopted!

Dottie has been doing great in her foster home. She has been with us a little over a month and has definitely caught on to living in a home environment. She does really well in her crate during the day and has mastered house-training. One thing we have learned about Dottie is that she has lots of energy and loves to play! She is discovering toys and loves to chase balls. She has the typical boxer playfulness and clown personality. She snores, grunts and groans, but that just makes her more endearing!

Dottie has been doing much better with the resident dogs, however we feel she would do best as an only dog or with a male. Dottie loves human attention and with that alone she would be the happiest girl. She loves to eat and is always happy to get treats. She has learned how to sit. Dottie will make a wonderful addition to the family - apply today!

Dottie was surrendered to AABR by a local puppymill.  She arrived at a temporary foster home a few days ago.  Dottie is a very people friendly dog - she is a little timid at first, but quickly warms up. She is eager for attention and wants to please. Dottie is learning the ropes of living inside a home and takes new experiences in stride. She follows her foster mom around as much as possible and wants to be close. Dottie has been having a harder time warming up to the resident dogs. We are trying to figure out why, but a foster home or adoptive home with no dogs or one dog is preferred. She may be feeling slightly overwhelmed being in close proximity to other dogs. She takes correction easily and hopefully once she is feeling a little more secure and safe, Dottie will not react undesirably. She is very content being crated and easily goes in. Dottie has spunk and is starting to get playful, but also likes to lounge around and could be a huge couch potato. If you are looking for a companion, please consider Dottie!

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.
