Ray has now been in foster for two weeks and he is making progress with each day.  Ray is definitely more at home and less tentative.  He is a really easygoing boy.  Like most boxers, Ray loves human contact.  He has been great around everyone that he has met, which includes my 12 year old and 7 year old daughters.  Ray found his bark - not that he is loud at all, but it is nice to hear him speak up now and then!  Ray and Mosely, his boxer sister, are getting along very well also.  Mosely has been working on teaching Ray how to play.  He is running with her in the backyard and sharing toys.  Ray has adopted a chipmunk toy and takes it nearly everywhere with him.  Ray is doing well with his training - he now knows sit and stay.  He has also really improved with housebreaking.  Ray is going to be a wonderful addition to a lucky family!

Ray is doing really well in his foster home. His boxer sister, Mosely, is showing him the ropes. He got his first bath and is such a nice looking boxer. Ray makes us laugh when he catches a glimpse of himself in a mirror and stares in wonder at who this other dog is. He follows his boxer sister around in the back yard and plays nicely. Ray shares things and gets along with everyone he has met.

Ray was surrendered to AABR from a local puppy mill.  He is reported to be around 4 years of age.  The vet that examined Ray today indicated that he does have the teeth and body of a 4 year old, but stress may have caused him to gray early in the face.  Ray will be transported to his new foster home.  We will update his page soon with new pictures and more information.

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.
