Brandon has arrived at his new foster home.  Introductions went great with his new foster sister, a 6 yr old boxer.  He is an easygoing boy and takes treats very gently.  Brandon loves going out in the yard and also enjoys sunning himself on the deck.  He has a difficult time with steps and is very stiff when he wakes up.  Brandon will be visiting our vet this week to get updated on everything.  Brandon's foster mom indicates he is just a happy and sweet boy.  She will post another update once Brandon gets settled in.

4/23/15 -

My name is Brandon.  I am 11 years old and my dad had to leave me at the shelter last week.  My mom recently passed away and my dad was just diagnosed with cancer.  Also, we are about the same age in dog years, so I think he left me here because he knew somebody would be able to take better care of me.  I am a little chunky, so I could use a few nice walks now that the weather is getting nicer.  But let's just call them love handles.  I know my mom would be heartbroken if she knew that I, along with my brother (a Pomeranian who was already adopted), was sitting in a shelter - but if you saw how sad my dad was to leave us, you would know that it is for the best. 

My luck seemed to turn around when a nice lady from Adopt a Boxer Rescue found out I needed help and made a plea to get me out of the shelter and into a loving foster home.  I just heard the good news that I will be leaving the shelter soon!   I really need a special adopter who will look past my age and will love and appreciate all the companionship I have to offer.  I am really an easy guy who gets along great with other dogs and will stick by your side.

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.
