Tom is doing great in his new foster home. He is wonderful in the house and hasn't tried to chew or even bother anything that is not his. Tom is completely housebroken and lets me know he needs to go out by going to the door and making a whimper sound. When he doesn't need to go out, he will just stand and look out the door. He has been great all week in his crate while I'm at work and has had no accidents. Tom is very friendly with everyone he has met and loves to be petted or just be near you! He seems to be putting on a little weight since he arrived. We are making progress on the leash - he pulls less each day. Tom loves going for walks around the canal and of course watching the ducks and geese!

Tom is a neutered boxer boy who came in as a stray to the shelter. He was very scared and unapproachable for the first couple of days after being dropped off. After about 3 days, he came out of his shell.  When I met Tom a week later, he was all over my lap and giving me kisses. He actually was dancing back and forth with one of the cats in a cage and although interested in the office cats there, showed no aggression. He has also done well with the other dogs he was introduced to.  Tom is estimated to be 3-5 years of age.  He is a stocky boy and very well built. If you are interested in fostering or adopting Tom, apply today!

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.
