Amber is still looking for a foster home.  She is a boxer mix or a very poorly bred boxer that has not had an easy life.  We believe she was probably owned by a backyard breeder.  Amber is a sweet and timid girl.  She is good with other dogs and would do best in a home with older children. 

1/24/15 -

Amber was found as a stray and is estimated to be around 3 years old.  The volunteers at the shelter indicate that she is very sweet.  Amber is reported to be good with other dogs.  She was brought to the vet for her vaccines and spay, and the vet reported she was loaded with worms, was heartworm positive, and had dry eye.  She is currently being treated for the worms and dry eye, and will receive her heartworm treatment once she arrives in New York. 

This sweet young girl has had a rough life so far.  She was probably owned by a backyard breeder.  Amber will be transported to rescue in two weeks and will need a foster home once she arrives.  Please consider opening your heart and home to Amber, and apply to foster or adopt.  We will update her profile once we learn more about her.

This name is in honor of my very first dog as a kid, a rescued greyhound.  She was brindle and just stunning.  We saw her do steps for the first time and gradually learn how to play with stuffed animals (much like our Mill Mommas)!

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.
