It's been 3 weeks since Lenny has become a part of our family and he's been a busy boy! First and most important, he has gained weight and is looking good. Considering his rough past, you can do anything to him - cut his nails, clean his ears, and take toys. He went to an event and greeted everybody with a lot of kisses. It didn't bother him at all having so many other dogs around. Lenny loves to play with the resident pooch and especially loves to chew on bones. He is excellent on leash and enjoys his walks. When we are not at home, Lenny goes into his crate. He is a cuddler at night time. Lenny has to be one of the happiest dogs I've met and all he wants is to be loved!

Lenny attended an adoption event over the weekend where he was a huge hit with everyone!  He is gaining weight and doing well in foster.  Included are two new pictures of Lenny at the event.

Lenny has been in foster for a week and is now feeling more secure in a home environment. He has been receiving nutritious meals, which will give him the much needed weight he needs to gain. Lenny enjoys meeting new people of all ages and gives kisses freely. He walks nicely on leash and loves to go for short walks. We are currently working on housetraining him and teaching basic commands. Lenny is a very affectionate dog considering the awful past he lived. He just wants love and affection and loves to be right next to you - he is an awesome boy!

Lenny is in need of your support.  This guy is thin for a reason.  In his new foster home, he has already passed a towel and several other items.  Was he so hungry that he ate anything he could?  Lenny's ears are a mess and his eye looks like it was previously injured.  Lenny will be getting the care he needs from AABR's vet.  This poor guy has definitely been neglected.  Please help us by donating to Lenny!

Meet Lenny! Lenny ended up at the city shelter as a stray in pretty bad shape- very thin and dirty. He must've been out on the streets for awhile. Lenny is a very friendly boy and was happy to meet everyone. He also did well meeting a few dogs at the shelter. Lenny is headed to a foster home. Once he settles in, we will update on his progress!

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.
