Zoey is continuing to do great in her foster home.  I have not a single complaint on this beautiful, blue eye girl.  She has been a delight to have around.  Zoey continues to follow me wherever I go.  If she is asleep and realizes I have left, she will run to the window to see if my car is still there.  If it is, she will go from room to room to find me and greet me with lots of wiggles.  Zoey recently stayed with two different families while her foster mom was out of town.  Both families commented about what a wonderful girl Zoey was with them and their resident dogs.

Zoey saw our orthopedic vet last week to finally get her cast removed and have her final X-rays.  The vet indicated that she has healed well and that her leg looks great!  We are doing some at home physical therapy, which includes short walks and me working with her leg to get the full feeling back.  Of course, her favorite part is the Kongs and bones - those are great for her to hold her goodies while using her front paws. 

Zoey is still looking for a forever home.  I can't say enough about how wonderful this girl is.  She is a very special boxer and is sure to make a family complete.  While Zoey does love children, I think a home without a lot of incoming and outgoing traffic would be best so she doesn't get out the door.  If you have a fenced yard and a male dog to help guide her, apply today to adopt Zoey!

Zoey is doing great in her foster home.  She is living with three other boxers and a couple of cats.  Zoey is a very easygoing girl who loves toys, food, and people.  She even enjoys being around the cats!  Zoey is 100% housebroken and crate trained.  She loves to be wherever I go and will follow me from room to room.  However, Zoey has no issues being by herself either. 

Zoey is deaf, but please don't tell her that.  She is a very smart girl and has learned to sit, stay, and come.  Zoey will take treats very gently.  She travels well in the car and from the little we have been able to do, Zoey walks well on leash.  She is one of the easiest fosters I have taken in. 

Zoey will be seeing our orthopedic vet tomorrow to determine the next step in treating her leg injury.  So far, this has not slowed her down at all.  We will post an update as soon as we know more.

Zoey would do best in a home that has a fenced yard and another dog to play with.  She loves meeting new people and has done great with children.  If you are looking for a very well behaved girl to make your family complete, then please apply for Zoey!

Zoey arrived at the shelter from a local emergency clinic.  She is estimated to be around 4 years old.  Zoey was turned into the emergency clinic after being suspected of being hit by a car.  It was discovered that Zoey is deaf and that she had a broken ulna.  Since the radius was not broken also, the vet is hoping it will heal on its own with a splint. 

The shelter believes that Zoey may have been kept outside.  She has been neglected, is a little underweight, and has fly strikes on her ears.  Zoey is great with all people and she loves other dogs.  She doesn't even seem to mind the shelter cat. 

Zoey will be spayed this week and transported to her new foster home with AABR.  She has been staying in the office at the shelter due to a lack of open kennels.  She does not touch anything and appears to be housebroken. 

Once Zoey arrives at her foster home, we will have her evaluated by an orthopedic surgeon to make sure she does not require surgery.  We will update Zoey's page once she arrives in rescue!

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.
