Vivek is currently in our boarding kennel and in need of a foster or forever home. The volunteer that walked him today indicated that Vivek was gentle and calm, offering a soft nuzzle. He hopped easily into her car when asked if he wanted to go for a ride. Vivek enjoyed the car ride, looking out the window and staying in one seat in the car. While walking, Vivek was great on the leash and never pulled. As we walked, if I stopped, he did too. He was very well mannered. Though there were many small animals near us on the walk, Vivek was uninterested in them.

When offered a treat, Vivek proudly shows that he knows "sit". He accepts pets and enjoys being scratched and also belly rubs. Though he loved his walk, he also enjoyed some relaxing time with me just sitting, checking out his surroundings and getting attention. Vivek is a laid back ol' fella who would really love to be in a home where he can relax and be your best friend. He is very loving and would make a super companion!

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.
