It has been a week since Catherine has arrived in our home. She is a very sweet and quiet girl.  Catherine loves the attention the boys give her and has a sort of understated boxer wiggle. She mostly likes to lay up against you or be by herself. She likes her dog bed, but has been sleeping in her foster brother's small dog bed all curled up.

Catherine is a petite girl who likes to give kisses.  She may enjoy some short hikes, but long hikes or jogging could tire her out. Catherine has signaled to go out since the second day she was in my home. She does good throughout the night and all day when I’m at work. Catherine is alone from about 8:00 am until at least 3:45 pm during the week.

 She has tried to play with her foster brother, but he isn’t the “play with me” kind of dog - so he ignores her and she goes and lays down. She does shake a little bit when she gets excited, so the best fit would be in a home as an only dog or another calm dog and older children.

Catherine was found as a stray in New York City and ended up at the city shelter.  She was quickly pulled by rescue, but did come down with kennel cough. Catherine is now in her foster home and is reported to be exceedingly sweet and well mannered. She settled in immediately.  We will post more information as soon as her foster mom gets to know Catherine better!

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.
