Toby's foster mom reports that he is adjusting well to living inside a house. Toby is completely housebroken and is also doing well in the crate, although he could probably be left out without any problems. Toby is learning about the comforts of a house, but he hasn't braved the stairs yet. He loves the children in his foster home, ages 1, 3, and 5.  This is just an amazing boy, especially considering all he has been through.  If you are interested in adopting Toby, apply today!!

Toby has arrived at his new foster home and is settling in well.  He is in foster with two other boxers, a male and a female.  He is also in foster with three young children.  Toby is a gentle boy who is adapting well.  His neck is healing nicely  and you would never know by his disposition that he has come out of a terrible situation.  Toby's foster mom will update his page once she gets to know him better.  Included are a few new pictures from his first day in foster.

Toby was transported into rescue yesterday.  He was very friendly with all the new people he met, and even demonstrated his sit and shake for a treat. Toby is currently at our vet's office, where his neck can be examined and then he will be neutered. Following his vet care, Toby will be arriving at his new foster home. We will update his page as soon as we know more about him.

1/30/13 -

Toby was brought into the shelter with an open wound on his neck. The owner initially stated that he was tied out and attacked by another dog. He said that he couldn't leave him tied out like that and didn't want to bring him into the house, so the owner asked the shelter to hold him for the night until he could take him the next day to be euthanized.  After further investigation, the owner admitted that he pulled the embedded collar from Toby's neck. We can't imagine the pain this poor boy must have gone through.

Thankfully, the shelter has already started treatment at a vet and they quickly contacted rescue for help. The vet that is treating Toby has estimated his age to be around 6-7 years.  We will be transporting Toby this weekend to our rescue vet for further care.   His neck is being sprayed daily with warm water, which Toby absolutely loves! He has completely ignored the other dogs at the shelter and has been great with every person he has met. We will update Toby's page soon with more information after he has seen our vet and arrived at his new foster home.  Please help us with Toby's care so we can give this boy a chance at a wonderful, loving home - something he has obviously not been able to experience yet.

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.
