Sugar has really turned into a cuddle bug. We are sure that she would cuddle on our lap all day if we didn't have to get up! She has also shown us that her favorite game is chase the ball, and she'll even bring it back so you can roll it down the hallway again and again. She seems to quickly bond and become best friends with women and older children. We are sure the perfect home for this little lover girl will be found soon!

Sugar's new favorite thing is to chase and pounce on every leaf that blows across her path. It's so cute we can hardly stand it! She continues to win over everyone she meets; one person even said her name should be Rascal because the brown patch over her eye makes her look like a little rascal. She has made great strides in learning to share toys and attention with her foster "brother," and they spend hours alternating between wrestling and curling up on the couch together, often on top of one or both of her foster parents. She is such a sweet, little thing just waiting for a family to love!

Now that Sugar has been at her foster home for a few weeks, her silly boxer side is really coming out.  She pounces on her foster brother when he least expects it, and is always full of smiles and wiggles when her foster parents get home from work.  From her trips to the dog park and boxer play groups, she has shown that she loves small dogs and will run and chase with any dog that can keep up.  While keeping busy playing with her furry friends, she always finds time to visit every person she sees to get love and a few scratches.  Sugar is a very smart girl, learning quite a few new hand signals in a short time, including come, stay, quiet, out, and enough.  Everyone who meets Sugar says she is the softest and most adorable boxer they have ever met, so hopefully she will find her furever home soon!

Sugar has settled in well over the last week at her foster home in Virginia, getting along famously with her foster brother, 1 yr old Bentley. When she's not wrestling or playing tug of war, Sugar cuddles right up next to you and snores away, especially at bed time! Her foster parents have discovered that Sugar is deaf, but she is quickly learning some basic hand signals for sit, down, wait, and go to bed. Sugar would love a fenced yard to safely run and play in.  We would prefer that she be placed in a home with a male dog to help guide her. 

Sugar has done great at doggy day care and the dog park with both large and small dogs, playing and chasing like all young boxers. Because she has difficulty hearing the warnings of other dogs, she needs to be carefully monitored when playing in groups with dogs who may challenge her.  Sugar prefers to eat in her crate so that she is not surprised when another dog approaches, but will take treats gently from your hand. She loves car rides and exploring her surroundings on walks, where she displays her good leash manners. Sugar's foster parents are working on reinforcing her previous crate training. Overall, Sugar is a well-behaved, adorable boxer looking for a home willing to take the time to teach her how to communicate without words.  She is picking things up quickly and is very easy to work with.  Apply today to adopt Sugar!

Sugar was originally adopted from the shelter as a puppy, but was returned almost two years later along with her cocker spaniel companion. No information was left about Sugar. We had a volunteer meet her and she indicated that Sugar is very sweet with people.  She seems to know her basic commands and also gives her paw.  Sugar is an adorable white boxer with a natural tail. She is already spayed and is now up to date on all vet care. She will be arriving at her new foster home this weekend and we will update her page soon!

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.
