Kirby is doing great in his foster home!  He is very smart and knows all his basic commands.  Kirby gets along really well with the female boxer, although he does enjoy chasing the cats.  He is picking up on new things quickly and now just needs a forever family of his own!

Kirby was transported this weekend and traveled great in the car.  He did wonderful with every new person he met.  Kirby is settling in well at his new foster home, where he is living with a female boxer, two cats, and two children.  He is very sweet and does really well in his crate.  Kirby loves to run around his fenced yard and would enjoy this at his forever home.  We will post more information once his foster family gets to know him better.  Included are some new pictures from his transport.

Kirby was found as a stray and is estimated to be around 1-2 yrs of age.  He is in a temporary foster home through the shelter with other dogs and also with cats.  He still has a lot of puppy in him and will need some work on his manners.  Kirby is good with other dogs, but does play rough.  He wants to play with and chase the cats, but has not been aggressive with them in any way.  Kirby was just neutered and brought up to date on vet care.  He will be transported soon into rescue and is looking for a foster home.  We will post better pictures of Kirby soon.  Apply today for Kirby!

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.
