8/25/13 Harvey
continues to do well in his foster home. He is left with free run of
the house during the work day. Harvey is completely housebroken.
We would love to place Harvey in a home with a female dog. If
interested, apply today!

Harvey
has been here about 10 days and has made himself right at home. His
pictures don't do him justice - he is a very handsome boy at about 70-75
lbs. Cars actually stop us on walks to give compliments on how handsome he
is. During the first week, he was left uncrated in the house and had NO
issues (no accidents, no destruction). In fact, each day after seeing me
pull in the driveway, he met me at the back door w/his tennis ball in his
mouth - very cute! Speaking of toys, he thoroughly enjoys them and
often occupies himself (throws them around, runs from room to room w/his
stuffed squirrel, etc). You can take these items away with nothing
more than a "why are you taking that away?" look. We have had a few dog
introductions (on lead) and he did well. Harvey seems to be very "play
oriented."
Harvey is not much of a barker, but is a "talker." He will whine and
vocalize to make his needs known (when you stop playing, wants attention,
etc). It is quite comical, and if I were a better with a video camera,
Harvey could probably be a YouTube sensation. He has picked up very quickly
on leash manners. He walks at my side. I use the command "stop" at
street corners, etc. and he will stop (and is improving on "stop, then a
sit"). He does get excited and will pull when he sees a dog, but is already
improving on "leave it."
Harvey can be a little anxious with new situations and new people.
He has met a few of my friends, both male and female, and seems to warm up
more quickly to females. We are working on developing his confidence in
these situations. He may do well in a home with another dog that he can
learn from and gain additional confidence through their lead.
7/7/13 -
Meet Harvey! This nice looking guy
has been dumped twice in the last two weeks. First by the family who had him
since 8 weeks old and then by the people who tried to rescue him. Neither
was Harvey's fault.
Harvey is a great boy who would just
like someone to commit to him for life. Can you be that family for Harvey?
Apply for this good looking man 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.
