Layla did wonderful with her surgery and is happy to be back at her foster home.  Her nub was wagging really fast when she came in the door from the vet's office.  Layla is resting comfortably and her eye is healing well.  She was also spayed at that time.  Layla will have her stitches removed in two weeks.

Layla has made a lot of progress in her foster home.  She is starting to wiggle her nub more and is now interested in playing.  It is so nice to see her happy. 

Layla visited the ophthalmologist on Friday and it was determined that she has chronic glaucoma in her left eye.  The eye is enlarged and irreversibly blind.  The recommendation is to remove Layla's eye, which is scheduled for this week.

If you are interested in sponsoring Layla, please consider contributing for her upcoming surgery.  She will also be spayed at that time.  This sweet girl is going to be a perfect addition for a family looking for an easygoing boxer who just wants hugs and kisses!

Layla is settling in well at her temporary foster home.  She seems to be feeling better and is much happier now.  Layla is still very scared at times, but we notice her coming out of her shell with each day.  She has no idea what to do with toys yet.  Layla loves laying on the couch and she is enjoying being part of a family.  Her appointment with the ophthalmologist is on April 1st. 

3/20/16 -

Layla was found as a stray in a rural area in Virginia and it took them over a month to finally capture her.  She is very thin, has a swollen ankle, and a scar on her rear leg.  Layla visited the vet at the shelter and had an X-ray taken of her ankle.  The vet believes she was hit by a car at some point in her past, as she had broken bones that have since healed.  Layla is reported to be a very sweet dog who is pretty scared in the shelter environment.  She was tested with other dogs and was quite calm around them. 

In order to get her out of the shelter as soon as possible, one of our volunteers offered Layla a temporary foster home.  She arrived there this evening and introductions went really well with the two other boxers.  She is a very petite girl who will need to gain some weight.  We will be getting Layla an appointment soon with an ophthalmologist to have her eye examined.  If you are able to foster this gentle girl, apply today to help Layla!  She has not been well taken care of in her past, but we will do everything possible to make sure she has a wonderful life from this point forward.

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.
