Linus is such a sweet boy and he loves attention. He is getting more comfortable with each day. Linus sleeps with the other dogs through the night.  He loves to be petted and will stand there and lean into you. Linus has a very calm demeanor. He plays for about 15 minutes and then likes to nap or chew on a toy. Linus got to meet our neighbor's lab and he loved him! He is a great boy that just needs a little patience to acclimate to a home environment. Linus wants to please and is always willing to listen for a treat!

Linus is doing well in foster. He seems to be housetrained, but is going out frequently so he learns the routine. Linus gets along great with the other dogs. He loves to be petted and told he is a good boy! Linus is confident around his foster mom, but gets a little nervous with his foster dad. It takes him a few hours each morning to work up the nerve to let his foster dad pet him, yet he will follow him around all day long! Linus is getting comfortable enough now where he is starting to play with the dog toys and he LOVES the dog beds! He does need some work on his basic commands. Linus is a really sweet and easygoing boy. Apply today!

Meet Linus! He was picked up as a stray in Lancaster County by a good Samaritan.  This nice man took him to the vet and got him checked out, and then brought him to a local kennel that contacted AABR. Linus is very skinny and very timid, but once he gets used to you -he will lean into you and enjoys pats. If you can foster or give Linus a forever home, apply today!

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.
