Zack sadly passed away after just a few days in rescue.  He continued to have seizures, including four grand mal ones.  We wish we could have helped him, but we are grateful that Zack was surrounded by love and that his life did not end in the shelter. 

5/30/15 -

Please welcome Zack to the rescue family!  Old man Zack is a 12 yr old boxer boy that was surrendered to the shelter because his owners reported that he had a seizure the day before.  So far, we have not witnessed any seizures, but have started the necessary precautions to make sure he is a healthy and stable gentleman.  Zack had some bloodwork done today and we will know those results in the next couple of days.  Zack has pretty typical symptoms of old age - arthritis, cataracts, loss of hearing - but he appears to get around just fine.  He also loves to eat as we discovered! We like seeing a healthy appetite on an older fellow - that is a good sight.  Zack has some pretty horrible dirty ears and hematomas, which we should have under control soon.  Please consider making a donation on behalf of sweet old man Zack.  We would not be able to save dogs like Zack without your continued support!

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.
