Walter is doing great in his foster home!  He is wonderful with the other dogs (large and small), the cat, and the kids.  Walter is a very sweet and gentle boy.  Everyone who has met him comments on how nice he is and the fact that he "shakes hands" just makes everyone like him even more!  When left alone, Walter is kept in the kitchen/dining room area with the other dogs and he does great!  Overall, this sweet boy has settled right in and is going to be a great addition to a family!

Walter spent a week in a temporary foster home.  He got along well with the two other boxers, male and female.  Walter knows sit, shake, and comes when called.  When I went to give him a bath, he walked right in and sat with his back to the water.  He has perfect house manners and lets you know when he needs to go outside.  Walter has also quickly picked up the doggy door.  He was neutered today and is now up to date on all vet care!  Walter will be arriving at his new foster home tomorrow.

Walter was found as a stray and is estimated to be around 8 years old.  He is very friendly with people and did great on his dog evaluation at the shelter. Walter is currently in a temporary foster home with two other boxers, male and female.  He is recovering from kennel cough and then will be neutered.  We will update Walter's page as we learn more about him.

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.
