Black Jack has settled in nicely at his foster home.  He is the perfect mix of boxer characteristics - bursts of playful silliness followed by lots of lounging and napping.  Black Jack is a happy, snuggly boy who loves curling up with you on the couch.  He would be content to lay around all day on a lazy Sunday.  Black Jack enjoys going for walks, going to the dog park, and meeting new people and other dogs.  He warms up instantly to new friends.  Black Jack is a huge hit in our neighborhood and everyone loves him!  When you talk to Black Jack and pet him, he curls up in a kidney bean dance and wags his nub.  He is an easygoing boy who will be the perfect addition to a lucky family!

7/06/16 -

Black Jack was surrendered to the shelter because his owners were losing their home.  He previously lived with another male boxer, who was adopted directly from the shelter.  The previous owners report that Black Jack is a friendly boy, but he can be shy at times.  Black Jack is housebroken, good with children, and good with other dogs.  He would do best in a home without cats. 

Black Jack arrived at his new foster home on Friday.  He is living with two other dogs, male and female.  Black Jack's foster mom reports that he is very sweet and lovable.  He is beginning to come out of his shell and did a play bow for the first time.  Black Jack has the perfect boxer wiggle.  He likes the other dogs, but is very laid back and prefers to relax on the couch.  Black Jack also loves going for walks.  He has made friends with all of the people and dogs he has met along the way.  Everybody that has met Black Jack has fallen in love!

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.
