Gretchen is settling in well at her new foster home.  She is currently living with two other boxers, a male and a female, as well as a 5 year old child. 

In the morning, the alarm will go off and Gretchen is the first dog up.  If I hit snooze, she will sit next to my head and wait for the alarm to sound again.  Once I get out of bed, she starts to run around the bedroom and is always excited to go outside.  Gretchen would be a wonderful girl for a home with or without other dogs. New photos will be added soon! 

1/20/14 -

Gretchen and Alladin were brought into the shelter after their owner passed away in her home.  They were startled by the cops who showed up and they then had to be removed by animal control officers from the only home they have ever known.  Gretchen and Alladin also previously lived with two Boston Terriers.   

Gretchen and Alladin are shy at first, but quickly warm up to new people.  Judging by their vet records, their deceased mom loved them and took great care of them.  Gretchen and Alladin were very stressed at the crowded shelter, so the director reached out to rescue to help get them into foster homes.  Gretchen will be arriving at her new foster home at the end of this week, where she will be living with two other boxers and children.  We will update her page once her new foster mom learns more about her.

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.
