Luke checked in with our vet again yesterday, and is now up to 43 lbs!  He is filling out well and his foster mom reports that Luke is doing great in her home.  Once he gains a little more weight, Luke will be able to begin his heartworm treatment.  Many thanks to all who have donated towards Luke's care.

Luke has arrived at his new foster home and is settling in well.  He is being fed multiple, small meals a day and is using a special bowl to help slow him down.  Luke is very happy when he sees kids.  He will quickly show off his sit and will give you his paw.  After everything that this boy has gone through, it is amazing that he continues to be so loving and trusting with people.  Luke will visit our vet tomorrow and we will update his page as soon as we know more!

Luke was found as a stray in awful condition.  Nearby in the woods, there was a crate that he appeared to have broken out of.  Luke is emaciated and only weighs 31 pounds at this time.  He also tested heartworm and Lyme positive. Luke will begin treatment as soon as he gains some much needed weight and gets his strength back.

Luke will be arriving at his new foster home tomorrow, where he can get the TLC he so desperately needs.  This adorable boy will have a long road ahead of him, but we will provide the care he needs and make sure he is never in this condition again.  Please consider helping Luke by making a donation towards his care.  We will update his page as he settles into his foster home and we learn more about him.

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.
