Olivia is a very sweet girl. She has been in her foster home for three months and is doing very well. She sleeps all through the night and is completely house trained. She is getting along great with her foster sister. Olivia does not like the crate, but she is well behaved when left home alone, so really does not need to be crated.

Olivia is very easygoing and rarely barks. She enjoys going to the shore with her foster family and walking on the beach. She walks wonderfully on a leash and knows basic commands. Olivia recently completed her heartworm treatment and is doing well. All she needs now is a home to call her own. Please apply to adopt Olivia.

We’ve had Olivia in temporary foster for almost 2 weeks. If you are looking for a sweet, gentle, low key girl who just loves to be around you and is great on a leash, Olivia is the one. She loves people.  Olivia is a little shy and timid, but is starting to open up. She will follow you from room to room, but is not overbearing.  Olivia gets excited when you come home, but is not a jumper unless you want her to come up. She does like to sneak on the furniture and I’m sure would love to sleep in the bed, but is very content and very quiet sleeping next to the bed on a dog bed (she doesn’t even snore!). She has a tongue that is too big for her mouth and it is out to the side most of the time - it is very cute. Olivia is potty trained - she goes right out, makes her business quick, and comes running back in smiling. She is not a fan of the crate, but does not bother anything when left in the house alone. Olivia is being fostered with a small female dog of another breed and has done fine.

Olivia was taken from her owners by animal control because she was emaciated. She lived with other dogs, cats, and children.  Olivia is currently in a temporary foster home. She is shy, but does warm up once comfortable. She will be be transported to New York shortly and will need a foster home. Please consider fostering or adopting this sweet 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.
