King is doing wonderful in his new foster home!  He is a very smart, sweet, and obedient boy.  King is submissive with the other dog.  He will start prancing in front of his foster sister to get her to play with him, or he will bring over a toy next to her.  King is very well trained.  He knows many commands, including sit, stay, stand, heel, lay down, and play dead.  King is also housebroken and crate trained. 

King's foster mom indicates that he is a total love bug!  He will lay on his back for belly rubs.  King is very playful and loves squeaky toys!  He really likes children and welcomes them right away.  King can be timid with new men, but he does warm up.  After some initial hesitation with his foster dad, King is now prancing around him when he walks in the door.  If you are interested in adopting this wonderful boy, apply today for King!

9/11/14 -

King was surrendered to the shelter after his family had a new baby.  The owners report that King is a great dog and he knows a lot of commands.  King appears to be a very laid back, easygoing boy.  He did very well meeting another dog at the shelter.  King will be arriving at his new foster home this weekend, where he will be living with a female boxer.  We will update King's page with more photos and information once he settles in.

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.
