Taking an easy dog from someone who has to move and rehoming him/her is not a huge challenge. The challenge is transporting and caring for dogs like Marshall, Dude, and Hutch, Stella, Lucy, Mya and Hooch, Eve, Fred, Nick and now Mikey. The challenge is finding the funds to help the dogs in need of medical care.

That¹s where YOU come in. We need donations to cover the medical bills for these special dogs. Remember we get no public or private funding. We rely on adoption fees and your donations to cover our expenses. 

1. Please, if you our considering adoption, and you really want to "rescue" a boxer, start your search at the bottom of the available dogs section (white background with paw prints).  There are some great dogs there and they have been with us the longest.  (Please don't go to the yellow section below the available dogs... These dogs have already been adopted and found their forever homes! Yeah!)
2. We at AABR don't shy from challenges and hope that you support us in our endeavor.  Whether they are dogs with medical issues or behavior challenges, by your support you obviously agree with our mission to give each dog a second chance.  We have many adoption applications requesting the perfect boxer.  But if per chance you are up to rescuing a boxer that will require a little extra TLC, or maybe requires a strong leader to bring out the best in it, please contact us, mention that you read this, and let us know you are interested in rescuing one of our special boxers.
3. And if per chance you yourself are starting to show a little gray in your hair or mustache, maybe you can relate to some of our slightly graying boxers.  It's the rare individual today that can see the gold in those senior dogs that through no fault of their own are in need of a forever home.  Those individuals who have adopted our older boxers have a special knowledge of the rewards that only rescuing an older boxer brings.  And consider what would happen to your older boxer should you not be able to care for them.  You would want some good home to step up and care for them... Wouldn't you? 
4. Email AABR Special Adoptions...  I'm up for it!

We are looking for a few good homes!  Do you want to rescue a Boxer?  I mean really rescue a Boxer?

AABR has no shortage of applicants that want a Boxer that is good with kids, dogs, cats, pocket pets, letter carriers, and delivery guys... They want puppies or young dogs that come housebroken, with no medical problems, and come perfectly trained.  And of course we have Boxers that come close to those high standards.

But there is a misperception of the Boxer Breed.  The Boxer is a strong minded, self confident breed that requires their owners to be the same. They are also a physically strong dog.  That means that if you don't control them by employing good leadership skills, you aren't going to be able to make up for it by physically controlling them as some small dog owners can get away with.

We are looking for a few good homes to adopt, or even just foster some of our stronger minded but typical boxers.  They are just dogs that being true to their breed, need homes where the humans are not a shade less than "top dog".  These dogs have spirit and drive, and work hard to please their leaders.  Given the right homes and opportunities, dogs like Chance and Milo will be loving, obedient family members.

Do you have the Right Stuff?

Their trainer can't say enough good things about these boys.  

The special person(s) who are interested in adopting Chance or Milo will get to spend some time with them and their teacher, and for FREE, learn what makes their teacher so impressed with these boys.  You will also have to show their trainer that you have the right stuff before you can take one of them home.

So if are interested in some great boxers, and you already have an application in with AABR, please email me  sandy@adoptaboxerrescue.com and we can tell you more about them.  If you don't have an app in yet, please fill out one now (Adopt/Foster Application) and email me ASAP letting me know you would like to be considered for their forever homes!
