Lucky is proving to be a wonderful, energetic, loveable old gent.  He doesn't understand why everyone keeps referring to him as a "senior."  Lucky loves dogs, kids, and anyone that will look his way!  He is a little underweight, but with his new diet and several meals a day, he has already managed to pack on five pounds since coming to rescue!

Lucky went to the vet to be brought up to date on his vaccines and to have a few lumps checked out.  Lucky had the doctor wrapped around his paw in no time.  Nobody is immune to Lucky's super cute wiggle dance.  We were told that Lucky had food allergies, so we have been following a hypoallergenic diet.  The vet was quite pleased with how his skin looked.  Unfortunately, two of the lumps that we had aspirated did turn out to be mast cell tumors.  When the doctors feel he has reached a safe weight for anesthesia, we will see about having them removed.

For now, Lucky will enjoy sleeping on the big bed, all the cuddles he can handle, and a full belly.  Lucky is a fantastic dog with all the right moves - don't count these senior pups out!  Lucky will prove that age is just a number!!

Lucky is settling in well at his foster home.  He visited the vet and his blood work came back great!  Lucky does need to gain 10-15 lbs.  Included is a new photo after Lucky's bath at his foster home.

Lucky is an 8 yr old boy who is being surrendered to rescue because the owner does not have time for him after having a new baby.  Lucky is wonderful with children and lived with a cat at one time.  He just arrived at his new foster home this weekend, so we will be posting more information soon!

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.
