Blade has arrived at his temporary foster home.  He first made a stop at the vet.  This poor boy has a fractured leg, three types of intestinal worms, and Demodex mange.  He will get some TLC before being transported.  Blade will need a foster home once he arrives in New York.  If you can not foster, please consider making a donation toward his medical care.

Blade was found in horrible condition by animal control and is estimated to be around 6 months of age.  He was emaciated and had an injured rear leg.  Blade has had a very rough start in life.  He will have his leg examined by the vet to determine the best course of treatment. 

Blade will be going into a temporary foster home in North Carolina for some TLC while he waits for transport.  We will update his page once we know more about him.  Please consider donating for his medical care.  Blade will also need a foster home once he arrives up north that will nurse this poor little guy back to health.

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.
