Another rescue picked Duke and a female pit mix up from an abandoned house where the dogs were tied to a tree. The both dogs were in good condition and neighbors seemed to know that the dogs were cared for but could not move with the family.

Duke is now with AABR looking for his forever home. He is a large sized healthy beautiful brindle male. We think he is between 2 and 3 yrs old and has a very nice personality. He is in foster with a small dog and his first introduction to him was not promising, so Duke will not be placed in a home with small dogs. We do not know if he ever lived with kids, but his introduction to a visiting toddler was good.

He is very smart and funny. He was given a rubber chicken by the first rescue, and he likes to carry it around with him.

As always, boxers need good leaders and if you can be one for this guy, he will reward you tenfold.

PS: The female went to a pit rescue.

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.
