We are very sad to learn of the passing of Scarlet.  She started to have seizures and quickly started to lose control of her legs.  She had a wonderful personality and we are sorry she didn't get her forever home before passing.

Scarlet so deserves a home to call her own.  Please help us help Scarlet.

01/11/14 - Meet Ms Scarlet

She's been at the shelter for too long and has become a favorite of the staff. She came in as a stray after eluding rescuers for two weeks in a field. She was real skinny when caught, but started wiggling her butt as soon as she knew she was safe.

The shelter named her Scarlet and they have given her wonderful accommodations up close to the front desk in a room with a couch and coffee table. She has a bunch of toys which she was quite willing to share with the AABR volunteers that came to meet her.

She's a little boxer and was quite active mugging for pictures and happy for the attention she was getting. One volunteer gave her a home made dog bed which she immediately took to and posed for additional pictures.

She doesn't mind passing other dogs, but would rather not have them in her face and lets them know that. For that reason, we thing that Scarlet would do best without other dogs. We are pretty sure that given the right circumstances she could learn to appreciate the company of another low key dog, but it would take some work. The shelter staff says that she has been good with all visitors, young and old, but she was taken in as a stray, and we have not much history on her.

This little lady is comical and eager to please. We just don't have any non-dog foster homes open or we would have taken her with us. She really is well cared for by the staff and not in any danger so we are working on finding her a forever home. If you are interested in being entertained by this easy going female, please consider giving a forever home to this sweety.

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.
