Bailey is a young rambunctious 1 year old female. Her family is giving her up because they have not had the time to train her.

Bailey needs a very boxer savvy home to work with her and give her the attention she needs. She is very friendly but does not know how to greet people calmly. She is tall and will need work on her jumping when greeting. She also will need to learn to walk nicely on her leash. She is very mouthy and when a volunteer tried to walk her, she was grabbing at the leash and arm.  No aggression... just excitement at doing something new.  : )

The good news... She is very food motivated. She did very well going through basic commands with the volunteer.  Bailey will work for treats.

Bailey spends about 4 - 5 hours a day in her yard by herself, and barks at people walking by.

Bailey has not been with a lot of other dogs, but she is very friendly when she meets them. She grew up with and lives with a cat and kids. She is too much for the cat, but we are told she does well with the kids.

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

She just needs some attention and manners and she will make someone a great dog. If you have the time, energy and leadership skills needed, and are committed long term, please apply to adopt this adorable young boxer.

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.
