Snickers continues to love life and she has so much fun running in the backyard and chasing her sister, Trouble, around.  We would love to see them get their forever home together, but they would do just fine in a home of their own or with another pal also.  We can't believe Snickers has been here since December.  Some family is really missing out on a beautiful boxer girl.  Will you be that lucky home that gets to snuggle with her?

Snickers and Trouble have been with us for 3 months now and it has been a pleasure getting to know these ladies.  Although it would be awesome to keep these girls together, they would do just fine on their own also.  Snickers is such an easy going girl who loves everybody that she meets.  She loves to go for car rides.  Snickers is a loving and loyal girl who deserves a family of her own.

Snickers is a new lady!  Her surgery was a huge success and her sutures were just removed.  Snickers has so much energy now that she feels like a brand new dog!

Snickers is one lucky girl.  That is why I love fostering for AABR.  They will do anything they can to give our dogs the best chance at a healthy, happy life.  The difference in Snickers from five weeks ago when we first met her is amazing!  Now that she is on her way to recovery, will you be the family to give her what all dogs deserve - a loving, forever home?

The results of Snicker's biopsy came back and we are happy to report that the tumor was benign and completely removed.  The vet feels she will make a great recovery!

Snickers did wonderful with surgery on Monday.  The vet is optimistic about her future.  An encapsulated tumor was removed from her spleen and she also received bone marrow biopsies to help determine why she is anemic.  We will continue to post updates as we learn more about Snicker's recovery and results.

Snickers recently had an ultrasound and they found a mass on her spleen. The vet is going to remove it on Monday morning to give her the best chance. Snickers may also be having some issues that they feel are secondary to the large mass in her spleen and she will be getting additional testing to see what else may be going on with her health. The estimate that we have received from the animal hospital is $2500.00 on the low end and upwards of $4200.00 on the high end. Please offer to sponsor Snickers to help AABR provide the vet care she urgently needs. Snickers is such a sweet and wonderfully tempered girl, and deserves only the best!

Snickers arrived here just over a week ago along with her sister, Trouble. We were told they both were very sweet girls and that is an understatement. Snickers is very affectionate.  She just wants to lay her head in your lap and get all the hugs and kisses she can get. Snickers also likes to give kisses back. She is very easy to take care of.  Snickers probably hasn't had the exercise she needed growing up and she is a little out of shape. She doesn't pull at all on her walks, but we're working on getting her a little more trim and active. Snickers seems to be housebroken and is very quick at doing her business when she does go outside.

Snickers has been fine with our male Boxer, Oscar, who is 9.  Since she is used to having some canine companionship, Snickers would probably prefer a home with another dog. If you're looking for the typical fun loving older Boxer girl, Snickers could be the one for you and your family.

Snickers is a 7 year old Fawn female who was surrendered to the shelter along with another female boxer, Trouble. Snickers and Trouble just arrived at their new foster home, where they have been given a bath and are settling in well. More information will be posted as their new foster family gets to know them 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.
