Diesel is a very loving boy.  Anybody that comes into the house is his new best friend - his nub wags and he loves attention!  Diesel is getting along great with his foster sister and they have been playing nonstop.  He listens very well to sit, stay, and no.  Diesel also walks fairly well on leash.  He likes to play fetch, does not beg, and loves canned food!  He has adjusted to sleeping on a dog bed and we have not heard him bark yet.  Diesel really wants to please his family.  He is a great dog and will make a family really happy!

Diesel has arrived at his new foster home and is settling in well.  He is getting along great with his foster sister, a female boxer.  Diesel was content last night to sleep on his foster Dad's lap while he watched the game on TV.  He is a very sweet boy who is so happy to be out of the shelter.  Apply today if you are interested in adopting Diesel!

Diesel was surrendered to the shelter because his owners did not have time for him.  He was spending long periods of time in the crate during the day.  Diesel is used to a fenced yard and is reported to be good with other dogs.  He has lived with children, but is unknown with cats.  Diesel is housebroken and listens well to commands.

Diesel passed his behavior evaluations at the shelter with flying colors!  The behaviorist indicated Diesel is a calm and sweet boy.  He was very appropriate when meeting another dog.  Diesel enjoys attention from people.  He will be transported tomorrow to his new foster home, where he will be living with a female boxer.  We will post better pictures soon!

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.
