Zelda is looking for a new home that is close enough to her foster home to allow them to bring their dog a few times so Zelda can slowly acclimate.  She needs slow introductions to other dogs.  The other dog should be able to handle Zelda's energy level.  If you are local to Zelda and interested in this beautiful girl, apply today!

Zelda continues to do well in her foster home.  She is a beautiful, young girl who is full of energy and would do best with a young male boxer with a similar energy level that she can run and play with.  Zelda is improving with her leash manners, basic commands, and her excitement.  We are also working on her excitement when she meets other dogs.  Zelda is a very sweet girl who loves to cuddle.  If you are up for the demands of a young dog, please consider adopting Zelda!

Zelda is still looking for a forever home.  She continues to make great strides in her foster home.  She is a beautiful, young, and silly boxer girl who enjoys running and playing with her toys.  Zelda is settling in nicely with her furry foster brothers and sister.  We have been working with a trainer and Zelda is improving with her leash manners, basic commands, and her excitement.  The perfect home for Zelda would be with a fenced yard and a furry brother that she can run and play with.  Please apply today to adopt this wonderful girl!

Zelda is in a temporary foster home and is a very sweet and playful girl.  Since she is deaf, Zelda is looking for a home with a securely fenced yard.  If you are interested in fostering or adopting this beautiful girl, apply today!

3/11/15

Zelda has arrived in New York and is in urgent need of a foster or forever home.  Because she is deaf, a fenced yard is a requirement.  Zelda is good with other dogs, but we have no history on her with cats.  Deaf dogs learn commands through visual cues like hand signals.  It is very easy to do - don't let her being deaf scare you from fostering or adopting!

2/25/15 -

Zelda was surrendered by her family because they had two young children and felt Zelda would be better off with a family that had more time to dedicate to a young dog.  Zelda is a typical one year old boxer who is full of energy.  She knows some basic commands.  Zelda is crate trained and housebroken.  She would do best in a home with a secure, fenced yard and a male boxer to run and play with.  Zelda will be transported to New York shortly and will then be looking for a foster home.

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.
