Elvis has been in his foster home for three weeks now and we have learned several things about him during this time.  Elvis is a typical boxer puppy and will test the limits on everything!  He is not completely housebroken, but his foster family is working on that.  Elvis does have significant crate anxiety  when left alone and will break out.  He does fairly well when left loose in a small area of the home.  Elvis would do best in a home where somebody is there most of the time.

Now the good news about Elvis - he loves to play and then snuggle up with his people.  He enjoys nothing more than being right beside you where you are sitting.   Elvis does know some basic commands like sit, no, down, and off. 

This is a young boy that has had a lot of turmoil in just a short amount of time.  Three homes in a month is a lot for any dog to handle.  We are working with Elvis to help him understand that he will not be let down again.  He will feel loved and secure. If you can provide a forever home Elvis, apply today!

Elvis was bought from a breeder in Maryland, but his owner developed a heart condition and had to give Elvis to his parents.  The parents contacted AABR for help because they could not handle a puppy this age.  They indicated that Elvis had way too much energy and needed more time and training than they could provide.  Elvis arrived at his new foster home last weekend.  He is getting along great with the resident boxer and is very playful.  Elvis has visited our vet, where he was neutered and brought up to date on all vaccines.  Elvis does still need some work on his housebreaking and crate training.  He would love to find a home with a fenced yard and an active female dog to play with.  If you have the time and energy for a puppy this age, apply today to adopt Elvis!

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.
