Tyson is looking for a home with a family that can work with a young, high energy male boxer.  He will need training, discipline, and lots of exercise.  Tyson will not be placed in a home with another male dog.  Tyson has been neutered and has put on some much needed weight. 

Since being in foster, Tyson has learned to walk much better on leash.  He has also been crate trained and is housebroken.  Tyson has learned to sit on command and has finally learned to give his paw.  He has better manners when eating and even waits to eat until told.  Tyson is extremely food motivated and that really helps!  He loves his toys and his bed.  Tyson also loves to snuggle when he is tired.

Tyson is an adorable 6 month old boxer puppy who was surrendered to the New York shelter when his owners moved without him.  He has come down with kennel cough in the shelter and will need some time to recover.  Tyson lived in his previous home with adults, teenagers, and children.  He is a very wiggly boy who does need some work with jumping, obedience, and housetraining.  Tyson is very playful with other dogs.  He will be arriving at his new foster home 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.
