Max needs a home with very strong leadership skills.  Although he can and has played nicely with other dogs, Max sometimes tries to take on the roll of pack leader and disciplinarian.  For now he will be placed in a home without other animals. 

He totally is wonderful and great with people.  He is an athletic boy and would be amazing for someone who is active.

Please consider this guy for your buddy.

Update - Max continues to improve in his obedience class. He really enjoys the car ride to class. Max knows commands such as sit, down, come, wait, and stay. He is walking much better on the leash.

Max has been with us in our foster home for the past two months. He is not a very vocal dog - I have only heard him bark a couple of times. Max adapts well to routines. When it is time for bed, he settles in very quickly and sleeps through the entire night. Max does not try to get on furniture in the house. He is very content to lay at your feet, which is often where he is at when I am watching TV or working on the computer.

He does need regular exercise because he is a young, teenage boy. Max enjoys hiking with us on the weekends. He is ready to start his new life with a family of his own.

Thank you for your interest in this adorable boy!

Update - Max is now participating in a Canine Good Citizen (CGC) Obedience class while he is waiting for his forever home. He went to his first class on Monday and did really well. Max is also getting along really well with both of my dogs - he loves to run in the backyard with them. Max is a very loving and playful young boy who is still waiting for a family to call his own!!

Update - Max is a playful boy who loves to run in our backyard. He has finally figured out what to do with the toys and he chases the Jolly Ball all over the yard. He could live in a home as an only dog or in a home with another dog to play with. We are working on his obedience skills. When we are home, we leave the crate door open for Max and he will often go into his crate on his own to nap. Max is starting to play more with the other dogs. I would recommend a home without cats at this time.

Max is up to date with his vet care and is waiting for his new family. Please give this boy a wonderful home!

Max was very well behaved at the vets and they estimated him to be around 1 1/2 years old. We have had Max for a week now and he is adjusting really well in our foster home. Max is housebroken and has no problems with the crate. He doesn't chew on anything inappropriate in the house. Max doesn't seem to understand yet what to do with toys or bones. He loves going for walks and he also enjoys showing off his "shake" with his paw when you ask him to sit. Max is currently living with our two other dogs and he is starting to interact well with them. When Max gets excited, his whole body wiggles!! This sweet boy loves to lean on you and he wants to be close to people.

Max is an adorable white boxer that was found as a stray in PA. We will be picking him up this weekend to foster and he will be fully vetted on Monday. The Humane Society reports that Max was recently neutered and they describe him as friendly and well-mannered. They also note that Max is not food aggressive.

 We will provide an update with more information once we get to know him.

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
