Murph is a young energetic male that is in need of a boxer savvy home.  Murph, as with most dogs, will benefit from a good trainer.

Murph is a friendly adolescent, but very mouthy. He has not been trained to walk on a leash, and he is not good at it yet.  He will need consistent training. He likes to cuddle at night, but has his wild times as puppies often do. His seems to be about 7Pm each night... His new family must be willing to go the distance this young guy will need.

In his young life, we were told that Murph has been socialized with kids, other dogs and cats, but he may be too much for all of the above except the most playful of dogs.  He has met and been good with children at the school bus stop, and is good with the foster cat as long as it doesn't move.  Then it is game on ; (

In fact, his best home right now would be one without young children and cats, and with an energetic female dog to help teach him the ropes, and exercise him.  But slow and steady will win the race with this young boy.

He is house trained, but don't know how much time he has spent in a crate.  He is used to his foster dad working from home. He has been left for an hour and was good...

If you have the time, energy and leadership skills needed, and are committed long term, please apply to adopt this handsome young boxer.

Murph has arrived at his foster home in New York, where he is settling in well.  Murph is 8 months old and a big boy at 65 lbs.  He is also full of energy!  Murph needs an active home willing to work on basic obedience training.  He would also benefit from a fenced yard.  Murph would love a home with another dog that he could play with and will keep up with his energy level.  While he is good with cats, due to his size and puppy energy, he can be overwhelming to them.  If you are up to the challenge of a young dog and willing to work with his training and socialization, apply today for Murph!

8/31/14 -

Murph was surrendered to AABR because his owner accepted a job that is going to require extensive traveling.  Murph is 7 months old and has his natural tail.  He is a typical young boxer who is very playful and full of energy.  Murph loves children and he is great with both dogs and cats.  Murph is also fully housebroken.  Please apply to foster or adopt Murph today!

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.
