Peggy is responding well to training and her walks have steadily improved.  She is getting used to the trainer and is able to relax in the house with her now.  When her foster family is at work, Peggy can be left with free run with no problems.  She is still looking for a foster or forever home that is patient and will help her continue her progress.

Peggy continues to work weekly with a positive behavior trainer to help with her reactions to strangers coming into the home.  She would love to find a forever family that can continue this work.  Peggy loves to find the sunny spot in her foster home to nap in.  If you are interested in learning more about Peggy, contact us today!

Peggy plays endlessly with balls and Kongs.  She can even reach under the furniture to retrieve her toys!  Peggy loves her fenced backyard and would benefit from this at her new home.  She would do best in a quiet home that is experienced with dogs. 

Peggy can be very protective of her family and is currently working with a positive behavior trainer for strategies on how to meet new people coming into the home.  Her current foster family can only keep Peggy until the end of April, so we will need to find her a new foster home or better yet, a forever home by this time.  We will be posting new pictures soon and will also send updates about her progress with the training.

Peggy is doing great.  She loves toys and plays nonstop.  She goes to sleep nicely in our room on her bed, but occasionally asks to come up with us.  We leave her with free run of the house when we go out and she is totally fine.  Peggy loves to travel and is always up for a ride.  She is doing better on walks, but still needs some work with her leash manners.  We hope this great girl will get her forever home soon - she deserves it!

Peggy's owner passed away and she was taken from her home by the police on Christmas Day and dropped off at the shelter.  Peggy was very scared with all the changes happening to her.  The shelter contacted rescue for help and Peggy was able to be transported to a foster home on New Years Day.  Once out of the shelter, she became all wiggles and was bouncing around in excitement.  Her foster mom indicates that Peggy is very sweet and she absolutely loves all the toys she has found.  We have Peggy's previous vet records and she was well taken care of at her previous home.  Peggy is spayed and up to date on all vet care.  She just turned five in July.  We will post more information as Peggy settles in at her foster home.  Apply today to give this sweet girl a forever home!

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.
