Layla was surrendered to the shelter when her owner could no longer have her in his home.  She was bought from a breeder in 2011.  Layla is reported to be very playful and outgoing with strangers.  She likes to stand up and hug people.  Layla plays exuberantly with children.  She lived in a home with a 2, 4, 8, and 12 yr old.  Layla plays well with big dogs, but is shy around smaller dogs.  She has never been around cats.  Layla's previous owner described her as friendly, affectionate, playful, excitable, and fun!  She has a high activity level and loves to play fetch with her ball toys.  Layla is crate trained and well behaved when left alone in the house.  She knows how to sit and stay.  Layla does pull when she sees other dogs on her walks. 

After arriving at the shelter, Layla became very stressed and was not doing well in that environment.  She was able to find a foster home quickly and is settling in.  Layla is still a little stressed after being in the shelter and then arriving at a strange home.  She will need a few days to unwind.  Layla's foster mom indicates that she is a sweet and playful girl.  Layla does well with her basic commands and will wait patiently to get out of her crate, go in and out the door, and before eating.

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.
