As you can see from the new pictures, Simba is having a great time at the dog park and is making several new friends! He is getting along wonderful with his foster sister and Simba also loves children. 

Simba is looking for a new home that is experienced with boxers and either home often or can get him out for a break mid-day.  He would do best with an active female dog as a companion.  Simba needs continued work on his leash manners and with how to greet people at the door. 

Simba's current foster home leaves for vacation in three weeks.  We are hoping he will have found his forever home by then.  If not, we will be looking for a new foster placement for this energetic, young boy!

Simba is in need of a new foster home, or better yet - a forever family!  He is a typically active young boxer and would do best in a home that can keep up with his activity level.  He has been making great progress, but his foster sister just tore her second ACL and will need to be on strict crate rest for the next several weeks. If you are interested in fostering or adopting Simba, apply today!

Simba has been making a lot of progress in his foster home.  He now goes into the crate with no problem as long as there is a treat involved!  Simba sleeps in his crate at night.  He is housebroken, knows sit, and is working on other commands.  Simba walks well on leash as long as he has a harness on.  He does need some work on his manners when people come to the door.  Simba loves his foster mom's 5 year old granddaughter.  He is a great boy and very loving!

Simba has been neutered and is now up to date on all vet care.  He just arrived at his new foster home and we will post more information as he settles in.

Simba is a one year old male boxer who was surrendered to the shelter due to separation anxiety.  Simba did great with both his dog and cat tests at the shelter.  We are looking for a foster home with another dog to help him adjust and with somebody home often.  If you are interested in fostering or adopting Simba, apply today!

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.
