After only a week in foster, Ranger had to be rushed to the emergency hospital due to seizures.  Sadly, he passed away on the way to the vet.  We are very thankful to his foster family, who provided him with a loving home for the short time Ranger was in rescue.  He enjoyed laying in front of a warm fire and knew what it was like to be surrounded by love.

Ranger has been transported to AABR and is currently at our rescue vet.  He will have surgery tomorrow to be neutered and have some lumps removed.  His mouth is also very sore, so a dental will be completed.  Our vet is starting him on pain medication as he is very uncomfortable.  Please keep this senior boy in your thoughts.  We will update his page once he has settled in and is recovering in his foster home.

Ranger had been wandering the streets as a stray.  A couple was able to catch him and contacted the shelter, who reached out to AABR.  Ranger has been moved to a temporary foster home while transport is arranged into Maryland. 

Ranger's temporary foster reports that he appears to have some pain in his back end.  He enjoys lounging on his orthopedic dog bed and moves slowly.  Ranger loves his meals, although he is missing some teeth and his mouth seems tender. 

Ranger will be transported directly to our rescue vet, who will examine him and bring him up to date.  He will then be arriving at his new foster home with a female boxer.  We will update Ranger's page as we learn more about him.  Please consider supporting this sweet senior boy to help with his medical care!

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.
