Emmy is doing really well in her foster home and getting bigger by the day.  She now weighs 6.5 lbs!  Emmy is being fostered with three other boxers, which she adores and she can't seem to get enough of.  Emmy has learned to climb up the steps, but has not yet figured out how to get back down.  She has been following the other dogs out to potty, but is still learning the whole concept.  It is really cute, though, to watch her go out with the big boxers and then come running and jumping back through the yard for her treat. 

Emmy is adjusting very well to being crated during the workday.  She is getting lots of potty breaks and playtime, but has no problems going back in her crate.  Emmy is continuing to be monitored under the care of an ophthalmologist.  Her pressure in her eye has come down significantly as well as the swelling.  At this point, we are going to continue with the eye drops and see what happens when she is weaned off them.  We are keeping a very close watch on Emmy and having her pressure checked weekly for any changes.

Emmy is really cute, like most puppies!!  We would love for Emmy to have a fenced yard in her forever home and a fur sibling to grow up with.  She is a really great little girl and just needs a family that can give her the extra time that puppies require.  If you think Emmy is the one for you, apply today!

Emmy is an adorable 7 week old puppy who just arrived to AABR.  Her owner got her at 6 weeks of age.  Emmy's eye then began to deteriorate and the owners were not able to afford the medical bills to correct it.  Thankfully, a friend of the owners was able to help Emmy find her way to rescue and we assured him that Emmy would get the best medical care and then find a wonderful home. 

Emmy arrived at her new foster home a few days ago.  She has already been seen by our ophthalmologist and was diagnosed with Glaucoma in her right eye.  The only successful outcome at this point for Emmy is to surgically remove the eye due to the amount of damage and the amount of pain she is in.  Once this 4 lb puppy gains a little more weight, she will undergo surgery.  Please help contribute to Emmy's medical bills.  Emmy is young and has a wonderful life ahead of her following surgery.

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.
