Izzy is getting ready for a couple of big days coming up. First is the 4th of July. The sounds of all the fireworks will not bother him at all and he is looking forward to seeing the pretty lights in the sky. The second big day? His first birthday, of course. Our adorable guy turns one on July 16!

Izzy is almost all grown up now and is the 'big dog' in the house these days. He is still all puppy, though! Izzy is learning some hand signals and has a new collar that lets everyone know he is deaf. His vision is much better - he sees well enough that he can play ball in the yard. When he greets people, Izzy likes to get close to your face so he can get a good sniff in. He usually manages to sneak in some kisses while he is at it. Izzy is a complete goofball and keeps his foster mom smiling. He is also the perfect snuggle buddy once he is ready for sleep.

Izzy will be eight months old tomorrow and he is doing great!  His vision continues to improve and he really enjoys his foster brothers.  Izzy really is a typical adolescent boxer - goofy, a little clumsy, and a lot of fun to be around.  He joined us at an event recently and had a wonderful time playing with other pups his own age.  Izzy can be loud when he plays, but that is just because he can't hear.  His playmates all understand it is all in fun and usually get loud right along with him. 

If you have been thinking about applying for Izzy, but haven't been sure - now is the time!  His vision will continue to improve until his eyes stop growing (the eyes grow, but the cataracts do not).  He really doesn't have any idea that he can't hear - it is all perfectly normal to him.  Don't miss out on this sweet, cuddly, and playful boy!

Izzy continues to do very well in his foster home. He has learned both sit and shake, and absolutely loves playing with his foster brothers. Izzy's vision has improved to the point that you would really have difficulty telling anything was wrong. He has even been chasing tennis balls in the backyard! He is a very sweet pup and enjoys a good snuggle when he is ready for a nap. The ideal home for Izzy will have another playful dog who can show him the ropes. A fenced yard is a must for Izzy. He has been neutered and is ready to head home once we find his forever family!

Izzy got to see the great doctors at the University of Pennsylvania last week and received some encouraging news. He has cataracts that cover about 50% of his lens, so he can see much better than we initially thought he could! The doctor believes Izzy's vision may even improve as he grows, and if that happens, no surgery would be needed at all. We also feel that Izzy is deaf, so he is going to need a very special home willing to spend quite a bit of time training him. He also needs to go to a home with another dog - one who can be patient as he learns how to communicate properly. Izzy loves to play and has learned to navigate his foster home very well already. He is very energetic (as we would expect from a boxer pup!), but once he is asleep, not much wakes him up!

Izzy was recently surrendered to AABR from a PA puppy mill.  He had been sold, but was returned.  Izzy and both of his siblings have vision issues.  Izzy appears to have limited vision, which will be checked by a veterinarian next week.  Izzy would do best in a home with another dog.  He also needs a home that is able to provide the time, training, and socialization that a puppy requires.  We will post more information once he is seen by a specialist.

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.
