Marley is doing wonderful in her foster home.  She is getting stronger with each day and is now able to climb on the sofa and jump onto the bed.  With each day, more and more of her sweet personality is coming through as well.  She loves curling up beside her foster parents.  Marley is also having a lot of fun wrestling and chasing her foster brother, a young male boxer.  Marley is a vocal girl who would do best in a home with an active dog that can keep up with her playful energy.  She is crate trained and goes in with no problems.  Marley is no longer crated at night - she sleeps on her dog bed next to her foster brother and doesn't make a peep all night.  Her foster family indicates she has been the perfect houseguest!  Marley is going to be a wonderful addition to a lucky family.

Marley has arrived at her new foster home.  She has made amazing progress from her injury during her spay surgery last month.  Marley is getting along great with her new foster brother, a male boxer.  She is coming out of her shell more and more with each day.  She wants nothing more than to snuggle with her foster parents.  We will update her page soon as Marley's foster family get to know her better.

Marley was surrendered to the shelter by her owners.  She is a sweet and tender hearted girl that loves to crawl over to you and snuggle in your lap.  Marley adores people, but would do best in a home with older children because she is pretty playful and can sometimes get too rough. Marley gets along well with other dogs, but isn't a big fan of cats.  Her previous owners report that Marley is housebroken, well behaved in the home, and crate trained.  Marley walks well on leash and she loves to play with a ball.

Marley possibly had a nerve pinched during her spay, and she is slowly recovering at her temporary foster home in West Virginia.  Marley's foster mom indicates that she is a sweet girl who loves to be with her people.  We will update Marley's page once she is feeling well enough to be transported to her new foster home with AABR.

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.
