Phoebe is doing great in her foster home.  She is living with three other boxers and enjoys their company.  She would do best in a home without cats, though.  Phoebe is crate trained, house trained, and has great leash manners.  She loves to go for walks when the weather is nice and enjoys sharing her human bed with all the other dogs.  Phoebe has gained a few pounds and is really starting to fill out nicely.  She is her foster mom's shadow and follows her wherever she goes.  Phoebe is very treat motivated.  She eats all her carrots, green beans, bananas, yogurt, and peanut butter filled kongs (which are her favorite). 

Phoebe came into rescue in very poor shape and we are still trying to determine the cause of her skin issues.  Phoebe will be following up with our rescue vet next week for an update.  This beautiful girl would love to find a forever family to call her own.  She is a terrific, petite girl with a huge heart.  If you think you could make all her dreams come true, please apply today for Phoebe.

Phoebe has arrived at her new foster home and is settling in well with the three other boxers.  She wants nothing more than to be next to her foster mom.  Phoebe needs some work with her crate training, but is making progress with each day.  She visited our vet this evening and is starting new medication for her skin.  We will continue to update her page as we learn more about Phoebe.

Phoebe has been placed in a temporary foster home while she waits for her transport to AABR.  She is a petite girl and is doing great with the other dogs.  Phoebe visited the vet on Monday and was started on antibiotics for her skin infection.  Phoebe will be placed on a grain free, high quality diet and we are eager to monitor her progress.  We will update Phoebe's page once she has arrived at her foster home in Maryland and we learn more about her!

Phoebe and Rocky were surrendered to the shelter by their owner.  They were dehydrated, very thin, and had a significant amount of hair loss.  A skin scrape came back negative.  The vet is suspecting a possible grain or flea allergy.  They will be started on a high protein, grain free food to help their skin and to help them gain some much needed weight.

Both Phoebe and Rocky are super friendly and loving dogs.  They are reported to be housetrained, good with other dogs, and wonderful with children.  Phoebe only weighs 33 lbs at this time. 

They will be going into a temporary foster home until their transport to AABR in February.  We would love to find them a foster or forever home where they can remain together, but will consider separating them if they are placed into a home with a resident dog of the opposite sex.    We will continue to update their page with their progress as they get the care they need!

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.
