After five months in the kennel, Bear has finally been given a chance in a foster home and he is doing wonderful! Bear is being fostered with three children (ages 2, 11, and 12 yrs) and a female boxer mix. He is very patient and loving towards all of the children. The first thing he did when he arrived home was to run several laps in his yard. Bear has been very well behaved in the home. He is housebroken and responds well to training.  Bear is doing well with his leash walking, if given consistent exercise and direction.  Apply today to adopt Bear!

Bear has been waiting in the kennel since October for a foster or forever home.  He would do best in a home with no other dogs, or possibly with a very easygoing female.  He just needs somebody to give him a chance - apply today for Bear!

We had a volunteer spend some time with Bear at the kennel this week.  He is doing much better walking on leash and less grabbing of the leash in his mouth.  He is learning the "drop it" command and seems to pick up things quickly.  He really likes being rubbed and is now doing the boxer lean and nub wag when you tell him he is being a good boy.  Bear was introduced to Riley, a young female boxer, and they did great together.  We are still in need of a foster home for this handsome, young boy - apply to help Bear today!

We would love to find a foster home for Bear so we can learn more about him.  With an experienced handler, Bear listens well.  He is an adorable, young boy just waiting for his chance to get back into a home and out of the kennel.

Bear was transported to our boarding kennel this weekend.  He does need some work on his jumping and leash walking.  We are recommending a home without children or with older children.  Bear would do best in a home experienced with the boxer breed.  He would love a fenced yard to run and play in.  If you are willing to provide some training to Bear, he would love to get out of the kennel and into a foster or forever home!  

10/16/12 -

Bear was surrendered to the shelter because his owners were moving.  We know that Bear was not treated well at his previous home.  He has been very sweet with all of the volunteers that he has met at the shelter.  Bear is already neutered and is reported to be housebroken.  He previously lived with a Yorkie; however, Bear has not reacted well to the other dogs he has been introduced to at the shelter.  We will try to get a better idea of his behavior around other dogs once he arrives in rescue.  Bear does need a home without cats.  He will be transported this weekend and is in need of a foster home!

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.
