Dear Brooklyn, when we saw you in the crate in that van after arriving from the transport, we knew you were the one.  Who could resist your sweet graying face and deep brown eyes?  After getting out from the van, you eagerly walked with us over to the grass.  This is something you did many times during the next 12 days - you were always ready and eager to go for a walk.

But a long term relationship was not to be.  For 12 days, you were here walking, resting on your blanket, and sitting by day and sleeping by night near Donna so she could pet you.  You were laying there calmly as the little ones ran in from school and quickly made their way over to pet you, give you treats, and talk with you.

Even with all your medical problems, you were sweet and good tempered.  You were always looking at us as if hoping this new family could and would help you get better.  You were eagerly lapping up every drop of water we placed in your bowl. 

Rest well, sweet girl.  You deserve it.

Dave and Donna

Brooklyn is a 10 yr old senior girl who ended up at a shelter in South Carolina.  She has a mammary mass, which will be examined by our rescue vet once she gets settled into her foster home.  Brooklyn was reported by the shelter to be good with people and other dogs.  She just arrived at her new foster home this weekend where she is living with a male boxer.  We will update her page once her foster family gets to know her better.

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.
