Sierra is adjusting great in her foster home. She is getting along well with both male and female dogs. Sierra is crate trained & house trained. She also knows a couple basic commands. Sierra does not seem to be a barker, but she is vocal with her toys. She loves squeaky toys and will play by herself or with another.

Sierra recently was seen by an Orthopedic Vet, who did confirm that all of her injuries are old and probably are from being hit by a car at some point in her life. She advised us to just keep her on more laid back activities, a good diet & vitamins. Sierra seems to get around just fine and doesn't seem to let my 14 stairs affect her in anyway.

Sierra is a petite little boxer with a beautiful face and huge heart. I don't think her past has been good at all, but everyday she comes more out of her shell. She is now loving her life and is becoming more & more confident. Sierra went from hiding from me to trying to be the first one out of the four dogs to give kisses when I get home. Sierra would love to find a home that will love her & give her the attention she deserves. If you are looking for a more laid back, petite, and full of kisses kind of girl - please apply today for Sierra!

Sierra just arrived at her new foster home, where she is settling in well. She gets along great with all of her new foster brothers and sisters. Sierra's foster mom indicates she is a super sweet, petite girl. Sierra is in a lot of pain right now because of an injury on her leg and some previous fractures.  She will be examined by a vet this week and will receive the TLC she needs.  We will post a new update as soon as we have more information.

Sierra visited our vet today, but was not able to be spayed at this time.  She has a body condition of 2.5 out of 9, and needs to gain some weight.  The vet suspects that Sierra has been hit by a car in her past, as she has several old injuries.  Her left hock and right pelvic area have significant arthritic changes from an old, healed wound and a previous fracture.  She also has scar tissue on her left hind paw.  Sierra is in urgent need of a foster home so we can learn more about her and she can gain some much needed weight.  Apply today if you are interested in helping Sierra.

Sierra is a very sweet 3 year old boxer who was recently surrendered to the shelter. She rode very nicely during her transport today into rescue.  Sierra really just wants to get in your lap to snuggle. She has not had an easy start in life and has some scars to prove it, but that's all in the past. Her spirit is just as sweet as they come. This little girl needs to gain a few pounds and would love to find a home soon.  She will be checked out by our vet on Monday and brought up to date everything.  Apply today to foster or adopt this petite boxer girl.

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.
