Oscar's family is in the military and being deployed to South Africa. They indicated that Oscar deserves a home that doesn't move all the time since he has some medical needs. The family originally got Oscar overseas from another military family when he was just 10 weeks of age. They have owned him for two years.

Oscar has been diagnosed with colitis, which is currently being managed with medications and prescription food. Oscar will need to be kept on the Royal Canin Gastro Intestinal Fiber Response food, along with his two medications. He is allergic to corn, potatoes, rice, and wheat.

Oscar is reported to be housetrained and crate trained. He is used to sleeping in his crate. Oscar knows all of his basic commands. He is a very friendly boy who loves to be with people. Oscar is also reported to be great with children of all ages, other dogs, and cats.

One of our volunteers went to meet Oscar this past weekend and she indicated that Oscar was very excited to meet her. He has a natural tail that wags like crazy, but he didn't jump up and was just happy to have a visitor in his home. Oscar is fantastic with the 11 month old baby in the home. He is very tolerant of handling and the owners report that Oscar loves being outside. He especially enjoys the hose - both drinking from it and getting a bath. All Oscar needs is continued medical management and a forever home that can commit to his needs.  If you can provide this to Oscar, 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.
