After living in the same home for 8 years, Gismo was surrendered to the shelter when her owners moved.  She has cherry eye and mild entropion that will need surgically corrected.  Gismo previously lived with a child and a cat.  She is reported to be housetrained and used to being left alone with free run without any problems.  Although Gismo has not lived with other dogs, she is reported to be playful with them.  She is friendly with people and knows her basic commands.  Her previous owners note that Gismo is a happy dog and a big baby.

At the shelter, Gismo was extremely fearful and tense and was not able to complete her behavior evaluation.  Thankfully, she found a foster home quickly and arrived there yesterday.  If you would like to sponsor Gismo's medical care, please donate today.  We will post another update once her foster family gets to know her better.

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.
