Rossi is doing great in foster.  He is a super sweet boy.  Rossi loves other dogs and loves to play with my Boston.  He is great with dogs, both large and small.  Rossi does fabulous in his crate.  His leg is healing well and the swelling is much less.  He is going to be a wonderful boy for a lucky family!

2/23/13 -

Rossi was found along the road and turned into the shelter. He is estimated to be around 8 years of age. Rossi was transported to Pennsylvania earlier this week and went straight to the University of Pennsylvania for treatment. His hind leg is twice its normal size and Rossi is receiving IV antibiotics for a very serious infection. It is currently unclear what is actually wrong, so Rossi will be having some tests done to try to pin down what is going on. The doctors also discovered on his X-rays that Rossi had been shot twice - there is a bullet in his shoulder blade and shrapnel in his leg. The doctors don't think that is the cause of his current issues, but it does speak to the type of life he has lived.

Rossi's biopsy results came back today and a tumor has been ruled out. Rossi still has a guarded prognosis because the infection is so extensive, but he is getting the best care possible. He deserves to be pampered in a home for the rest of his days. We can't do the work we do without our supporters. Having a dog hospitalized is never without a financial burden. Even if you are able to donate $5, we appreciate it and Rossi will too. He's the sweetest boy and deserves this chance!

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.
