Intake Reason - Molly is a super sweet 8 yr old female whose owner went to a seniors home a month ago. A gentleman who has known Molly since she was a puppy, has been caring for her, but also has medical problems which prevents him from caring for her after next week.

I met Molly yesterday and she has a great personality and is really adorable. I had her examined by our vet, and he said that the bubble on her back is a cyst and nothing to worry about... but we are taking it off because it may put some potential adopters off, and that would really be a shame. She has a few other small skin tags on her but he sees no reason to take them off.

In the waiting room she play bowed and wagged her tail with a pit bull that was also waiting. She let everyone poke and prod her and just kept the same big smile on her face loving every minute of it.

We found out about Molly because the shelter contacted us when her care taker called them. He says that Molly has been around and did great with her owner's grandchildren and grand dogs, 2 little Bishons.

Please consider what might happen to one of your own dogs if you could not care for them anymore, and no one would adopt them because of their age. Everyone wants a puppy or young dog. The reality is that there are far more older dogs in rescue, desperately in need of forever homes, than there are puppies. If you are reading this, hopefully you are looking to "rescue" a dog. Molly, and the other older dogs on our website, need your help.

PS: We are lucky that Molly has a great temperament, and appears to have no issues.  Please examine your own dogs temperaments, and work on correcting any issues they may have, now, while you have a chance.  Don't think it is too late to work on behavior problems.  A behavior problem will make it harder and maybe impossible to re-home your dog if it is ever necessary.  Then what will happen? You can teach an old dog, new tricks!

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.
