Xavier has just arrived at his new foster home in Pennsylvania, and he is settling in well. He is housebroken and likes his crate. Xavier loves to run and play. He has been a very good boy and is ready for his forever family now.

8/8/13 -

AABR has been asked to assist with this handsome boy. His name is Xavier and he is currently in a shelter in Maryland. Xavier is a five year old neutered male boxer who came from an abusive situation. He previously lived with an 8 yr old child and a female boxer. When he first arrived at the shelter in April, he was very nervous about getting his lead on and off. Shelter staff began working with him and offering high value treats when leashing Xavier. He was showing a lot of improvement. Unfortunately, Xavier then had a nasty bout with kennel cough and pneumonia, which pushed his training back. Due to the stress of being in a kennel, Xavier really needs a patient foster home who can work with him.

One of our volunteers went to meet Xavier this evening. She indicated that he was a typical, happy, wiggly boy. He enjoyed playing with toys and did well walking on leash. Xavier took treats very gently and knew a few basic commands. With just a little reinforcement of good behavior, he is going to be a great boy and bring a lot of happiness to a family. Xavier would love to get back into a home after spending so many months in the shelter. If you are interested in fostering or adopting this handsome boy, apply 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.
