We can't believe Donald hasn't been scooped up yet!  Donald is now completely housebroken and also crate trained.  He knows his basic commands.  Donald loves to play with the other dogs, but will also entertain himself with his bones or toys.  His favorite past time is snuggling with people.  Donald has not met a dog or person he doesn't love!  He is also a fan of sleeping in and won't complain if you hit the snooze a few extra times in the morning. 

Donald went on his first camping trip a few weeks ago and he did great!  Donald does well in the car and also on leash.  He is fine with being left crated during the work day.  If you are interested in adopting this adorable boy, apply today for Donald!

Donald's foster mom indicates that he is a terrific little guy!  Donald would do best in a home with another dog. He has been gaining confidence and learning manners from his two foster siblings.  He also really enjoys having an active playmate, as Donald has a ton of energy!!  Since Donald still does a lot of jumping and puppy nipping, it is recommended that he go into a home with older children at this time.  Donald is doing great with housebreaking.  He really enjoys snuggling, with both people and the other dogs.  If you are interested in adopting this adorable puppy, apply today for Donald!

Donald is doing great in his foster home.  He is definitely all puppy and LOVES to play with both his foster parents and the other dogs.  He has already learned to sit for a treat and Donald does well with his crate.  He mostly just wants to be in your lap to snuggle.  Donald is going to be a great companion for a lucky home!

Donald has arrived at his foster home and is settling in well.  He is a really sweet boy and loves attention.  Donald is very much a puppy still and will need to learn some manners.  He will also need some work on his housebreaking.  Donald gets along really well with the other two dogs in his foster home, a male and a female.  At first, Donald was afraid of the stairs.  With just a little coaxing with treats, he has mastered them.  Donald is doing very well in his crate.  We will update his page as his foster family gets to know him better.  Apply today for Donald!

Donald was found as a stray and is estimated to be around 8 months old.  He is described at the shelter as a very sweet wiggle-butt.  Donald is very comfortable around other dogs and did great on his evaluations.  He will be neutered this week and will then be arriving at his new foster home, where he will be living with two other dogs.  We will update his page soon with better pictures and more information as his foster family 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.
