Marcus came to us as a very sick and emaciated little boxer. He had a few set backs in the beginning, but Marcus has a great deal of spunk and will to live in his little body. He thrived under the care of his foster parents and his foster brother and sister. With the love and care that he received, he started to gain weight and fill out. Meanwhile, he learned how to play like a boxer from his new siblings and before long Marcus was running around and playing like a true boxer is supposed to play.

Marcus has made a full recovery and weighed in yesterday at 49 pounds of pure boxer mush. Marcus has also been neutered. He is now ready for his forever home - get your applications in today for this handsome young boy!

Marcus was given a bath and transported to his new foster home, where he will be receiving the TLC he urgently needs.  Marcus stood well for his shampoo and traveled well in the car.  He is emaciated and only weighs 35 pounds right now.  His foster parents are feeding him very small meals several times a day.  Once Marcus has gained enough weight, he will be neutered and brought up to date on the rest of his vet care.  This sweet boy is settling in well and getting along great with the two other boxers in his home.  We will update his page soon with his progress.

Marcus is a boxer boy who is estimated to be around 1.5 years of age. He was seized from his previous owner due to neglect and starvation. This boy is very underweight and is going to need some TLC in his foster home. The shelter reported that he was very shy. Marcus was kept in a run with several other dogs, and did great with them. The volunteer that transported Marcus today indicated that he is a very, very sweet boy who just wants to crawl in your lap. He didn't seem to mind the other dog he was transported with. Marcus was very interested in food, and you can tell, he needs to put on more than a few pounds. He does have a natural tail, but it curls up in the cutest little curly-cue. He clearly hasn't had an easy time in life so far, but this sweet young man is super loving and just looking for a home to call his own.

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.
