Meet Dama - this sweet old lady found herself in a high kill shelter in NYC after spending 11 years with her family. Dama never had an easy life - she's spent a lot of time outside in the yard through the NY winters and summers. Dama has lived with kids of all ages, but when the family had to move - she couldn't go with them and found herself scared and alone in the shelter. She is no worse for the wear and is sweet as can be.

Dama loves to just be around her people, relax, and take in the fresh air. She is great with strangers and is especially drawn to children. Dama is arthritic and can't do too many stairs, but up to 4 are ok. She did well on her dog test at the shelter, but Dama thinks cats are toys, so a cat must be dog savvy.

If you can possibly give this sweet girl a place to live out her days in the comfort she should have had her whole life, please let us know!!

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.
