Sadly, our amazingly sweet, loving Jonah is no longer with us in this life – his time with us was much, much too short. I was so hopeful the Dr.’s were wrong and it wasn’t a brain tumor, but the last few days clearly told me otherwise and his eyes were telling me what I did not want to hear. So on Wednesday morning, we made that awful dreaded trip and I held him and told him how much I loved him (as he ate ice cream).  He was gently helped to The Bridge.

It is said everything happens for a reason and we should not question the why’s, but I am struggling to make any sense of this – he was cheated out of a good life and now he has been cheated out of his second chance. Run free sweet boy – I will always treasure this short time we had together and will love you forever and always.

Jonah is exhausted from the long journey from Tennessee.  He has spent most of his first day sleeping.  This poor boy is still very weak from his poor condition.  Jonah loves to give kisses and has a very sweet temperament. 

3/28/14 -

This precious boy came to a shelter in TN very hungry and weak.  They were not sure if Jonah would pull through, but he has slowly started to gain some weight and is feeling much better.  He is still very thin and has pressure sores from where he laid on a hard surface.  Jonah is estimated to be around 7-8 yrs of age.  He has a cataract in one eye, which will be checked soon by our ophthalmologist.  Jonah loves other dogs and was transported this evening to a temporary foster home.  He is heartworm negative and will be neutered as soon as he gains enough weight.  We will be posting more pictures and information once his temporary foster home gets to know him 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 3 months to adopt a Rescue Boxer to an approved applicant, depending on your personal circumstances and flexibility.  

Not every home is the right match for a boxer, and 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 at your home visit of other dogs you are interested...  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.
