Maxine came over to participate in a photo shoot this past weekend. As you may notice, Maxine has trouble moving around these days. Her back legs no longer work and her front legs are getting weaker. But as you can see from these photos, she is beyond loved by her forever-foster home. Her spirits continue to soar.  Maxine could be heard barking at the neighbor dogs, letting them know she was there and wasn't going to take any nonsense from them! Maxine is in charge!!!

12/19/13 -

This senior sweetheart has had her entire life turned upside-down. She found herself in a boarding facility when her dad became ill and suddenly died. She was kept there by a kind soul who promised to take care of her. Unfortunately, she began to show signs of Degenerative Myelopathy (DM), and was not able to go to the second story apartment.

Maxine went into foster and was already well versed in using her wheelchair. Her foster mom reports that she often has to run to keep up with her! This ole girl is as sweet and gentle as they come. You are guaranteed a Boxer face wash and snuggle if you get down on the floor with her. She is acclimating herself to having 2 young foster fur siblings. Her favorite pastime is laying on a bed by the fireplace, just relaxing after a nice meal and some exercise.

AABR took in Maxine knowing that her chances of adoption were slim, and that the rescue would incur a lot of medical expenses to keep her happy and healthy through her ordeal with DM. You might not be ready to take on a dog like Maxine, but perhaps you could consider donating toward that care. Just hit that Paypal button. Even though she is safe in a loving, committed foster home - Maxine still needs your help. She has already been hospitalized for several days for a gastric issue from which she is recovering. Won't you please donate towards her care and help us, help her?

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.
