Chinook has settled in well at his foster home.  Shortly after his arrival back in rescue, he developed an abscess on his neck.  After treatment with antibiotics, it has already improved significantly.  Chinook will be going for a recheck ultrasound next week.  Please consider donating towards this cost so we can get him cleared soon for adoption. 

Chinook's forever home will need to have at least one other dog.  He would do best with a fenced yard.  Chinook loves children and even did well with his cat test at his temp foster placement.  As soon as he has fully recovered, Chinook will be ready to move to his new home.  He is a well socialized boy and will be a great addition to a lucky family!

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.
