Rocky (now known as Clyde) and the pug in his current home are no longer getting along, so he is sadly being returned to rescue.  The family reports that the pug is almost always the instigator, but Clyde is no longer tolerating his behavior and it is not a safe environment for either dog. 

Clyde's home can not say enough good things about him.  He is very playful and does enjoy playing with other dogs.  Clyde's favorite activity is jogging or hiking in the woods.  He is quite nervous with city sounds and would do best in a quieter, more relaxed environment.  Clyde has thrived on a venison diet and his coat has filled in nicely.  When he gets a few allergy bumps, a topical "mousse" will clear it right up.  Clyde travels well in the car and has gone on long road trips with his family.  If you can provide a forever home for Clyde, submit your application today for this handsome boy!

Rocky is doing well in his foster home.  He is the sweetest boy and Rocky gets along great with his two Pug siblings.  We are still in the process of figuring out what is going on with Rocky's skin.  He has a skin infection at this time, so is currently on antibiotics and steroids.  We will be completing a skin biopsy soon and will post an update as soon as we know more information.

Rocky has been placed in a temporary foster home while he waits for his transport to AABR.  He is a very petite boy and is doing great with the other dogs.  Rocky visited the vet today and was started on antibiotics for his skin infection.  He will be arriving at his new foster home soon, where he will be living with two small breed dogs.  Rocky will be placed on a grain free, high quality diet and we are eager to monitor his progress.  We will update Rocky's page once he has arrived in Maryland and we learn more about him!

Rocky and Phoebe 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 Rocky and Phoebe are super friendly and loving dogs.  They are reported to be housetrained, good with other dogs, and wonderful with children.  Rocky has already been neutered and he only weighs 34 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.
