Tyson has just arrived at his new foster home and is settling in great!  Tyson has met the two other dogs he will be living with and had no problems with introductions.  He loves to be close to his foster dad.

The volunteer that transported Tyson to his foster home indicated that he is a very sweet boy.  When he stopped at her house, Tyson went straight to the toy bin, wagged his tail and returned to give her a kiss.  Actually, that became a pattern!  After a short walk, Tyson took a power nap. 

Tyson has visited the vet several times since arriving in rescue.  He had not been well taken care of in his previous home.  AABR has removed several lumps, had a hematoma repaired, and completed a dental, which involved several extractions.  One of Tyson's incision areas had to be restitched, which unfortunately did not hold the second time either.  This wound requires daily monitoring and will need to heal on its own.  Please consider making a donation to help with the vet care for this wonderful boy!  He is well on the road to a complete recovery and a much better life with AABR!

Tyson has now been neutered and brought up to date on all vet care.  He had a cyst removed from his hip.  The incision area is unable to hold stitches and will need time to heal on its own.  Tyson is in urgent need of a new foster home where his healing can be monitored.  He does not care for the crate, but is fine with free run.  Tyson gets along well with other dogs, but has never been around cats.  If you are interested in fostering this sweet boy, apply today to help Tyson!

9/07/14 -

Tyson and Cicely are being surrendered to rescue because the owner can not take care of them after a change in life circumstances.  Tyson is wonderful with other dogs, large and small.  He currently lives with a female boxer, Cicely, and a small breed dog.  Tyson is also reported to be great with children of all ages.  He has never been around cats, but does live with a bird and has no problems.  Tyson is a very sweet and easygoing boy.  He will be seen by our vet later this week, and then will arrive at his new foster home.  We will post more information once Tyson's foster mom gets to know him better.

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.
