Update - Marino has undergone heartworm treatment and has gained a lot of much needed weight. He is in the mature category but don't let that sway your opinion of him. He is the most gentle, loving, laid back boy and gets along with any person or any other dogs. He is always the perfect gentleman. He is all Boxer and will soak up every ounce of love and affection that he possibly can. He is very happy to just be laying near you and relaxing. Marino is the perfect example of what a little love, affection and food will get you, and that is unconditional loyalty and love in return.

Please consider this sweet mature boy for your own and you won't be sorry!

8/15/08 - Marino

Marino (male) and Miley (female) arrived in Maryland Sat afternoon, via a volunteer transport starting in South Carolina. These two dogs had been sitting in a shelter for several weeks and were down to the wire, with only hours left before their euthanasia. The only reason they lasted as long as they did is because they were so sweet and the shelter staff and volunteers in the area were working feverishly to find someone to commit to them. Miley and Marino came to the shelter as strays. They were picked up together and based on how attached they are to one another, it is believed they have always lived together. Marino is the older, extremely emaciated male. It is hard to estimate his age due to his horrible condition, but we are placing him at approximately 8. Miley is the younger female and is probably somewhere between 2-3. They made the trip together very well, and the first night here in Maryland, endured a warm bath and having ticks removed from them. After getting a nice warm meal, they slept very soundly curled up together. These two dogs are so incredibly sweet, it is hard to imagine all they have been through and yet, their disposition remains happy. Miley is a particularly cheerful little girl, all smiles and wiggles. Sadly, Marino is weak and frail from his horrendous condition, but is still so very sweet and gentle, a true Southern gentleman, if you will. We went for a couple short walks to stretch their legs and both walked decently on leash. Miley doesn’t want to go anywhere without Marino. She would not even go out and potty first thing in the morning without him joining her. They are currently being checked out at our vet’s office and I just got the call a few hours ago, they are BOTH heart worm positive. Miley will be able to start her heartworm treatment shortly, but Marino will need time to gain some much needed weight and strength. Please, if you are able to help foster either one of these dogs, or both of them together (Miley begged me to ask for a home where they can remain together) while undergoing their treatment and waiting for their forever home, please contact us. We have so many dogs in our charge and there are just not enough foster homes go around. We cannot continue to help save these precious souls without the help from those of you who can help foster, so please, give it some consideration. Fostering is so very rewarding; it is a small portion of time out of your life where you have the opportunity to love and nurture one (or two) so deserving and it is their everything. The dogs depend on us, we cannot let them down. Thank you.

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
