Grace is doing great in her foster home. She is continuing to gain confidence and is becoming more sure of herself. Grace has the best disposition - she just wants to please! She gets along well with the 2 male dogs where I work and she loves children. Grace would do best in a home without cats. She is learning her basic commands and is a quick study. She is so well behaved!

Grace is crate trained, but I leave her with free run while I am out and she has done fabulous with this. She loves to follow her person around and is happiest when she is very close to you. Grace is gaining weight and is beautiful. Do not let her sad expression fool you as she is a happy little girl. She is learning to play with toys, loves her walks, and is great on a leash. Grace is pretty much the sweetest little dog you could ask for. She has stolen the hearts of all my friends.

Grace has adapted well in her temporary foster home. She absolutely LOVES our 9 year old child. Grace is house trained and crate trained. She is a very loving dog and would love to become your shadow, snuggle with you on the couch, or lay at your feet. Because of her previous life, she needs someone who will help her gain the confidence she needs to know that she won't be abandoned again. Please apply today to adopt this sweet girl!

Grace was transported to her temporary foster home a few days ago.  She traveled great in the car and slept most of the way.  Despite the situation she came out of, Grace is as sweet as can be with people.  Her page will be updated once we know more about Grace.  Included are a few new pictures of this beautiful girl!

Grace ended up at the shelter after she was seized by animal control. Grace came from a really bad situation and had been overbred and starved. The volunteers at the shelter report that she is such a sweet girl with people. Prior to coming to the shelter, Grace was in a temporary foster home with a 14 month old child and another dog - and she did great with both. She is currently in a temporary foster home with a four year old child until she arrives at her new foster home with AABR. Grace has been spayed and brought up to date on all vet care. We will update her page as soon as her foster home learns more about her. Thank you for your interest in this sweet and easygoing girl!

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.
