Scooby is doing GREAT!! He has been in foster for about a week and it is like he has always been here. He is housetrained, great on the leash, knows all his commands and is a very chilled out dog. Scooby plays for about 10 minutes (not rough) and then he needs a nap. He gets along great with his foster doggie sister (9 1/2 yrs old) and brother (5yrs old). Scooby loves attention and to be told he is a good dog...he does boxer wiggles and almost bends himself in half when you scratch his butt! He will be a hard dog to let go of, but he will be a fabulous addition to anyone looking for a calm dog to hang out with!

Meet Scooby! This handsome boy was surrendered to the shelter when his owners had abandoned him at a friend's house and never came back for him. He has been living mostly outside for the past month. Scooby has shown himself to be quite the catch! He appears to be housebroken and was excellent walking on leash. He must have had some training as he also knows sit, stay, and paw. Scooby did great with meeting the other dogs at the shelter. He was friendly and very comfortable around them. Thank you for your interest in Scooby! We will post another update after he settles into his 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.
