In the three weeks that Dalton has been with his new foster home, he has quickly learned and mastered navigating around the house and yard.  He is working on learning basic commands.  Dalton took a dip in the pool and he can swim, but we are still unsure how much he will enjoy this.  Dalton is typically not crated, but he was tested in one for a few days and did great! 

Dalton's usual day consists of sleeping on the couch, following his foster brother and sister around the house, and sniffing around in the backyard.  His foster mom bought him some new toys, but he prefers snuggles and kisses.  Overall, Dalton is a very smart, loving, beautiful, and trusting boy.  He will adapt well in a forever home with other dogs.

Dalton visited our ophthalmologist and was diagnosed with bilateral progressive retinal atrophy with secondary cataracts.  There is no treatment for his blindness and it is an inherited condition.  He doesn't let this slow him down, though!  Dalton is settling in great at his new foster home, where he is living with two other boxers.  He quickly learned his way around the house and yard.  Dalton is very sweet and is now ready for his forever home.  He would love a home with a fenced yard and another dog.  We will be posting more information as he continues to get settled in.

Dalton had a session with photographer Vicki Wagner, and she was able to capture his personality!  This handsome boy has now been brought up to date on all vet care and will be making the trip to his new foster home this weekend.  Once Dalton gets settled in, we will be taking him to visit the ophthalmologist to learn more about his eyes.

Dalton was found as a stray in a rural area and brought to the shelter.  He is estimated to be around 5 years old.  Dalton is blind, but it doesn't slow him down.  He is very sweet with people and did well on his evaluation at the shelter with other dogs.  Dalton will be transported soon to his new foster home.  We will update his page with more information once Dalton arrives with AABR!

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.
