Zeus is a handsome, young brindle boy who is sadly being surrendered to rescue. He was adopted three months ago from the shelter after his previous owner was deployed. The current family's resident female boxer has not accepted Zeus into the home. Zeus is also a little too energetic for the owner's elderly parents. He needs a family that has the time and knowledge to help Zeus become a wonderful pet.

Our volunteers that met Zeus indicated that he is a petite boy who seemed very well cared for. The owner would prefer that Zeus go to a home with somebody there often to work with him and also a home without children. When Zeus first arrived at his home, he had very little training. Zeus guarded his food and toys. He is doing much better around food, but Zeus does still guard high value items, such as his "busy bone" that is left with him in the crate. Zeus can be a very "mouthy" boy. He is filled with energy and would love a young, active dog to play with. Zeus also currently lives with a cat and typically ignores him. He knows all of his basic commands and how to give paw. Zeus likes to be wherever you are at in the home. If you have experience with this breed and the time to continue his training, apply today to foster or adopt Zeus!

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.
