Vaporeon is a super smart, young Boxer who knows his own mind.  He loves to work and is especially good at obedience and retrieve.  He would love other sports like agility and scent work.  Vaporeon has a naturally dominant personality and can try to be controlling if his humans aren't keeping up with him.  His trainer says that Vaporeon is a fast learner, is loyal, and forms a very strong bond with his person.  He loves to ride in the car, is housetrained, and is looking for a Boxer or Bully breed experienced, adult home only where his people will be active and engaging with his needs.

Vaporeon is a lot of Boxer and has a tremendous amount to offer the right person.  Any applicants would visit him with his trainer to see if they would be a great match for one another.  This is a wonderful opportunity to live with a Boxer who can take any dog related sport to the highest level.

Vaporeon is a young male boxer who was surrendered to the shelter for being too active.  His previous owners described him as friendly, playful, quite energetic, strong, and excitable.  Vaporeon is housebroken and knows several commands.  He does need some work on his leash manners.  Vaporeon was a little pushy in playgroups, but does fine overall with other dogs.  He just arrived at his new foster home and we will update Vaporeon's page once 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.
