For our beautiful Rosie who filled our hearts with peace and happiness.  We had just lost our beloved boxer, Mugs, and needed to fill the emptiness in our lives.  Rosie came into our lives through AABR and took us and our household over.  If we went out, Rosie expected to go also - so she never stayed home.  Of course, she also wiggled into my husband's heart and if he took out his car keys, she was at the door.  She loved our hugs - we miss her kisses and love.  Our lives were so enriched with her in it.  Rosie was meant to be there for us.

Rosie is such a sweet and gentle girl. She is so good in the house, she is good about going in the crate although I don't think she really needs one. She is so easy to walk and listens very well. She is not bothered by cats that she sees on walks, so I think she would be okay in a home with cats. She came within 3 feet of a cat on a walk and had no reaction. She is fine when out on a walk with other dogs. I feel that she could go to a home with a submissive dog as long as she was introduced properly. Rosie would be great for someone who is looking for a loving companion, she is just so easy going. Seniors really are best. Won't you open your heart to this loving girl?

We got a call from Orphans of the Storm about Rosie. They told us how nice she was and asked us to take her. She was at a high kill shelter, and they kept her from being put down because she is such a keeper.

 When I picked Rosie up, the Orphans of the Storm representative said that he wished he had room for another dog because he would have kept her. She is very friendly and rides great in the car. She laid in the front seat and put her head on my arm and just looked at me with her beautiful brown eyes. She is a very happy and content dog. She is reported to be good with dogs and cats. We are not sure about children yet, but as gentle as she is, I don't think it will be an issue. We will check more into that.

Right now Rosie is in a kennel. She's very sweet and loving. She is thin, and needs to gain some weight, but she is a beautiful dog.

Is your home the one that will make Rosie's life complete and safe for the rest of her life? She is looking for someone who won't dump her again, and she will give you nothing but love & kisses in return! Contact us about Rosie!

2007:

If you are interested in adopting this dog, please first read the information on our Adoption Procedures, 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 1 month to adopt a Rescue Boxer to an approved applicant, depending on your personal circumstances and flexibility.  

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 as to other dogs you are interested in at Adoptions@AdoptABoxerRescue.com .  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. 

Adoptions Fee: $300
