I fell in love with Zippo from the moment I picked him up to transport him to rescue. He had such an easygoing demeanor. Zippo was a sweet boy with every person he met, even though he had not led the best life prior to rescue. We had him neutered, a lump removed, and brought up to date on all vet care. Zippo was then waiting in the kennel for his chance at a loving foster or forever home.

Sadly, we received the devastating news over the weekend that Zippo has passed away during the night at our boarding facility. I wish this boy would have gotten his chance, but I do know he was safe and loved by all our volunteers who spent time with him.

RIP, sweet boy!

Zippo won the hearts of every person that met him during his transport.  He loved all the attention he received.  Zippo has been neutered and brought up to date on all vet care.  He now just needs a foster home so we can get this boy out of the kennel.  If you are interested in Zippo, apply today!  He is a very easygoing and gentle boy.

Zippo has been picked up several times by animal control over the past five years. The last time, Zippo was laying in the middle of the road. The previous owner had left Zippo and her two other dogs behind - her family decided to just turn them all loose. Luckily for Zippo, he will no longer be returned back to this home and he is on his way to rescue this weekend!

Zippo is a favorite of the volunteers at the shelter. They report that he has done well with other dogs there. Zippo will be transported this weekend and brought up to date on all vet care. He is in need of a foster or forever home. More information and pictures will be posted once he arrives in rescue!

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.
