Gerti has adjusted well to her new foster home.  She is very tolerant of her larger, clumsy foster brothers and loves all the people in her home.  Gerti enjoys going on walks and running around her fenced yard.  She is a very sweet girl.

Gerti just arrived at her new foster home, where she is now living with three senior male dogs.  She is settling in well and we will update her page once her new foster family gets to know Gerti better!

Gerti attended an adoption event last weekend and included is an updated photo.  This sweet, senior girl is still looking for a new foster placement.  She is currently being monitored at our rescue vet for a low platelet count.  We have started Gerti on a new medication to see if it helps and she will have a recheck soon.  Please apply to foster this wonderful girl.  We are doing our best to keep her out of a kennel, but she really needs a new foster placement soon.

Gerti is still looking for a new foster placement without cats.  Her current foster family does not want to see her go to the kennel, so they are keeping her separated from their cat in the hopes that Gerti will find a new placement soon.  She is living with two other male dogs and Gerti loves children.  If you can provide a foster home for Gerti, please apply today!

Gerti has not been able to acclimate to the cat in her foster home, so she is in need of a new foster placement.  Gerti is a very happy girl.  She has been friendly with new people and she absolutely loves walks.  Gerti is very good with the child in her foster home.  She has has a great appetite and takes treats gently.  Gerti is getting along well with the two male dogs.  She loves to lay out on the deck in the mornings.  Gerti will be getting spayed on Friday and having a few lumps removed.  If you can offer a foster or forever home for this special senior girl, please apply today!

Gerti has arrived at her new foster home.  She is getting along great with the two male dogs.  Gerti is eating well and LOVES sitting outside in the sun.  She learned how to use the dog door quickly.  Gerti is coming out of her shell and is now showing lots of wiggles when her foster parents come home from work.

Gerti was found as a stray and is estimated to be around 8-10 years of age.  The volunteers at the shelter were affectionately calling her, Grandma Gerti!  Gerti is reported to be good with other dogs.  She just arrived at our rescue vet, where she will be spayed on Monday and have some lumps removed.  Gerti will then be arriving at her new foster home, where she will be living with two male dogs.  We will post an update as soon as 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.
