Merlin has gained 10 lbs at his foster home and was finally able to have the surgery for his neuter and to remove his lumps.  He had the large lump removed from his knee, which is healing well.  This handsome boy is on his way to a full recovery.  As you can see from his new photos, he is doing great with the other dogs in his foster home.  This sweet senior boy has an absolutely wonderful temperament!

Merlin is doing very well in his foster home and seems happy.  He is particularly attached to his foster dad.  This sweet boy loves being with people.  He sits on command, gives his paw, and will also lay down.  Merlin is in foster with three other dogs and he is getting along great with everyone.  Once Merlin gains some much needed weight, he will return to the vet to be neutered and have his lumps removed.  Please donate today to help with Merlin's vet care so we can give this handsome boy the great life he deserves!

We were able to learn about Merlin's previous home, which gave us more information about him.  Merlin has been living in a very busy household with children of all ages. He was often found wandering in his neighborhood. Based on the condition he arrived at the shelter, it is evident that his previous home was not taking care of him. Merlin is very thin and in need of dental work. He also has three masses that will be removed when he gains enough weight for surgery.

Merlin has just arrived at his new foster home last night. He was given a nice warm bath and taken for a walk. He is a very sweet boy and really loves men. Merlin has already attached himself to his new foster dad. He sits on command, gives his paw, and will lay down. This sweet boy will be getting a lot of much needed TLC.  We will update his page as we learn more about him.

8/30/13 -

Merlin was found as a stray and is estimated to be around 8-10 years of age.  He is a sweet and friendly boy.  The shelter tested him with other dogs and he didn't seem to mind them at all.  Merlin will be transported soon to our vet's office, where he will be brought up to date on all vet care.  He will then be arriving at his new foster home.  We will be posting better pictures and more information soon!

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.
