Linus is a 4 month old boxer puppy who was originally purchased from a breeder in Pennsylvania. The owner has taken great care of Linus, but the resident 11 year old dog in the home just has not accepted him. Linus is an energetic boy who is too much for the senior dog in the home.  He has often found himself being separated or crated, which is not fair to Linus.  His owner came to the sad decision that the two dogs just were not a match and Linus needed to find a home that would better fit his needs.

Linus has just arrived at his foster home and is settling in well. He loves playing with the other dogs. Linus is looking for a home with a fenced yard and he would love a young companion that can keep up with his energy. Linus would benefit from lots of play time and walks. Due to his age, Linus will need a home that is there often enough to continue to work on his housebreaking and training. He previously lived with a 1.5 yr old child, but Linus did jump on her and knock her over.  He is very playful and doesn't realize his size.  With proper exercise and guidance, Linus is going to be a wonderful addition to a lucky family. If you are experienced with boxers and fit what Linus is looking for, apply today for this adorable boy!

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.
