Kelly's foster mom is amazed at how quickly she learns new things.  While she still whines/barks as soon as she is put in her crate, it only takes one correction and then she is quiet.  She is doing great with her foster brother and also gets along well with the other dogs at her dog sitter.  Kelly is going to be a wonderful addition to a lucky home!

Kelly is doing great in her foster home.  She is doing well with her foster brother, a male boxer.  Kelly walks terrific on leash, doesn't pull at all, and does her business right away.  She is completely housebroken and lets us know when she needs to go out.  Kelly wasn't fazed at all by the elevator or by all the people and dogs in the building.  She has met a few dogs and greeted them politely. 

Kelly is the biggest cuddle bug with people.  She loves to bury herself in your lap and just fall asleep.  Kelly does need some work with her crate training, particularly when left alone.  We think her age is closer to 2 years old.  She is a very petite girl! 

1/10/16 -

Kelly was found as a stray and is estimated to be around 4 years old.  She is very sweet and loves people.  Kelly did great on her evaluations at the shelter with other dogs.  She will be spayed soon and then will be transported to her new foster home, where she will be living with a male boxer.  We will update Kelly's page with better pictures and more information 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.
