Walter is being returned to rescue because the other male boxer is not doing well with him.  Walter has become very fearful of this dog and his owner is having a difficult time managing their interactions. 

Walter's previous home indicates that he is a wonderful dog.  Walter is very sweet and affectionate.  He gives great kisses and hugs, and loves playing with the female boxer.  Walter will be arriving at his foster home tomorrow.  We will update his page once he gets settled in and we learn more about him.

Walter has arrived at his new foster home, where he is settling in well.  He will be visiting our rescue vet early next week to get more information about his skin.  Walter is now on supplements and starting a high quality diet.  We will update his page once we have information from the vet and once his foster home gets to know Walter better.

This adorable young boy is Walter!  He arrived as a stray in really poor condition.  Walter was covered in fleas and showed signs of neglect.  He is now in a temporary foster home while transport is arranged to rescue.  Walter has been given a medicated bath and was treated for the fleas.  He visits the vet on Monday to check his skin.  Walter is currently in foster with two Dobermans, who he has a great time playing with!  His nub is nonstop!  Walter will need a foster home when he arrives in Maryland.  Apply 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.
