Owen is doing fantastic.  He must have come from a home who new the importance of training a big powerful boxer.  Owen is a BIG BOY... 81 lbs, and all muscle.  He is a sweetheart, but needs to be reminded of his size...

He is being treated for Heartworms, and will have his first immiticide shot on Monday. This is a very expensive and hard treatment.  Please make sure that your dogs are all protected with HW preventative. 

We usually don't talk too much about this treatment... We just do it and move on.  But we will update you as treatment goes on.

He did well getting a bath, and it felt good to his foster mom to wash some of his S Carolina past down the drain.

Owen has made it to his foster home and is settling in real well.  We will tell you more about him once we get to know him.

9/24/15 -

Owen is a 3 year old male boxer who was found as a stray and brought to a southern shelter.  Adopt a Boxer Rescue was asked to help because Owen developed an upper respiratory infection and he needed out of the shelter ASAP.  Owen is also heartworm positive. 

Owen is reported as a goofy boy that is good with other dogs.  He just went into a temporary foster home while he waits for transport to New York.  Owen will need a foster home once he arrives so we can start his heartworm treatment.  Please apply to foster or adopt this handsome boy!

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.
