Katie is doing just fabulous in her new foster home. She fits right in with our 8 year old Border Collie and our 1 year old Kitty. She has been with us for about 3 weeks and is a complete joy to have around.

Katie is very laid back and does GREAT with our 7 year old son and all of his friends. Be warned...she does like to give a lot of big wet kisses! Katie does well in a crate, but because she is so easy and completely trained - I do not put her in it. Katie prefers to hang out on the couch, a dog pillow, or just snuggling with you . She loves to ride in the car and go for walks. We take her to my son's bus stop everyday..she is a huge hit with all the other children.

I do recommend that Katie be placed in a home with another dog, She is going to make a lucky family complete.  I have had 2 boxers in the past and she is the most laid back one yet. She is one of the first boxers that I have also encountered that does well cats! Please consider adopting Katie.

Katie is doing great in her foster home.  She is getting along well with all three other dogs.  She doesn't seem to mind my cats, which is a first for me!  Katie is a very happy, petite Boxer with an adorable face and a huge heart.  She is getting more used to her crate, but would much rather spend her days relaxing on the couch. 

Katie is 100% house trained.  She also knows a few basic tricks, such as sit, speak, and stay.  She LOVES to go for walks and has become a great little traveler. 

Katie does not seem to bark at everything like my other Boxers.  I think Katie is a very appreciative kind of girl who really wants to please.  She is a good listener and responds well.  While I am sad she had to wait so long for a foster home, I am 150% sure she is going to make some family very happy and their home complete.  Katie is a cutie and an awesome little snuggler.  If you think you have some extra love to give to a great girl, apply today to adopt Katie!

Katie is finally out of the kennel and is settling in well at her new foster home. She is in foster with three other boxers. Katie seems to be an easygoing girl who loves people. Her foster mom will update her page once she learns more about her. Included are a few new pictures from Katie's first couple days in foster. Apply now to adopt this beautiful girl!

2/23/13 -

Katie and Brandy were left in the after hours pen at a shelter with a note saying, "I can't take care of my dogs.  Please find them a good home.  If you can, keep them together.  Both are friendly dogs and love people, children, and other animals."   The shelter reported that both girls are very sweet.  They did well with the other dogs they met through the fence at the shelter.  Katie and Brandy are not sure what has happened and are very scared. 

Our volunteer picked up both girls from the shelter today to transport them to our rescue vet, where they will be brought up to date on all care.  They will then need foster or forever homes.  If separated, Katie should be placed into a home with another dog.  If you can provide a foster or forever home for Katie, apply today!  We would love to see her go directly into a home instead of to our boarding kennel.

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.
