Ernie was visited at the kennel by one of our volunteers.  This sweet little boy started out nervous, but quickly calmed as he enjoyed his walk in the park. He seems like he may be a fairly low energy guy and loved to walk.  He also enjoyed sitting in my lap for love and attention just as much. Georgia was also out on her walk from the kennel and Ernie got to meet her.  They did great together. I think Ernie would thrive in a home with another dog, as he seemed to gain confidence in Georgia’s presence. He would not drink water until she did and then he did too.

I got to take Ernie to a tennis court and as I ran, he followed right next to me and came when he was called. He saw a little boy on the outside of the fence and was very interested, but never barked or reacted with anything more than a nub wag. He seems fine with people and dogs alike. This young boy needs some training, but is very eager to please.  He just arrived at his new foster home, so we will update his page once he settles in.  Please consider making Ernie a part of your home.

8/1/13 -

Meet Ernie. Ernie has lived the last month or so at a boarding kennel because his owner became sick.  Ernie lived with his owner, but the dad has developed health problems and has been increasingly unable to care for Ernie. Now it is impossible.

Ernie seems to be a little thin and he needs some exercise and training, but he's a friendly guy. The volunteers who met him said he just wagged his nubby and wanted to give hugs -- he was just happy for human companionship again. Apply for this cute little guy 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.
