Eddie, now DUKE is getting returned. Story is, they love him but he can jump their fence and is not crate trained so he has chewed a few things when left alone.

The family had him for 5 months , last we spoke with them all was good and getting better. Then, the email saying Eddie needs a new home.

Eddie is a typical young boxer that needs training and leadership from his forever home.  He has a wonderful personality, and just needs the right family that will invest some time in training him. 

Are you the right stuff for Eddie?

Update - Eddie needs a new home. A home with another dog to play. play, play would be great. He would also do best with a home who has Boxer experience and who is in charge. Eddie is a sweet, loving. goofy boy.

"Ok, so I stole an apple pie off the stove and rearranged a flower arrangement and ate the remote. And I guess I need someone to help me understand the crate. See I have never been in one of those things. The people who had me before I came to this wonderful rescue, just left me tied outside. I would love to go to those puppy classes I hear people talking about, I think I would be a good student. Will you help me with all this stuff? I need a partner!"

 Sincerly, Eddie

Eddie is still in the kennel waiting for his forever home. This sweet boy was with us in our home for a few days and we found him to have a gentle and playful personality. He loved to run in our fenced backyard with our two other dogs. Upon first meeting them, Eddie quickly got into play position and there were no difficulties with the introductions. Eddie appears housebroken and he quickly learned which door he needed to go to when he wanted out. He would do best in a placement where somebody is home frequently. Eddie loves people and he is happiest when he is snuggled up close to you!

Meet Eddie, the sweetest boy going!. We picked Eddie up today, he was found wondering the streets and taken to a local SPCA. They were so over crowded they had no where to put him.

Eddie is a cuddle bug. He is one of those that thinks he is a lap dog! He was absolutely wonderful in the car, road like a champ. I believe he was so happy to be out of the shelter.
He met a cat on the way out the door, she gave him a swat and he just walked away.

When we arrived at the kennel we took him for a nice walk. He was excellent on leash. He saw another dog and only showed interest in meeting him, he did not growl or bark. As we headed back to the kennel he went up to several dogs that were on the other side of the fence, again, he didn't bark or anything, just went to say hello and walked away.

We don't know that he has lived with other dogs or cats or kids, but I will tell you this, he is as sweet as can be. I'm sure he will need some training but he did not seem hyper or jumpy.

Eddie is estimated to be around 1 to 2 years old. I think he may have been a dog that was chained outside, he has a spot under his neck that appears to be abrasions from a chain. We bought him a harness and he was an angel while we were putting it on him, he even lifted his front paw so we could get under his belly to adjust it.

This doll baby deserves the best. He stole my heart!

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
