Its with a heavy heart that I must say our Sweet Nikki passed.  She was tired and had no fight left...Below is from her foster Mom, Karin

It's raining. That's how I'm feeling - sad. My heart hurts so much because I will not see the beautiful Nikki anymore. She went peacefully, in my lap, with a gentle female doctor.

I'm sad that she did not have more time to play and to be happy with us. Do you know we never heard her bark? She went in silence.

I sure hope that it must have something else, after this life, where pain, suffering and sadness is not part of it. Thank you for all your support.

The sun will come out again.
Warm wishes,
Karin

Nikki was diagnosed with mammary cancer just before she was about to go to her forever home. She is not doing well and we are not sure how much longer she will be with us. She has her loving foster family by her side. Nikki has not had a good life.. a puppy mill girl for the first 5 years of her life, but because AABR saved this girl she was able to spend the last 5 months in a loving foster home with a foster brother to play with. Please send good thoughts and prayers for her.

Nikki went to her new foster home and she was happy to get out of the kennel. She was very good during transport. Nikki is being fostered with an 8 year old male boxer. She is a very sweet girl, but timid and needs a home that will be patient and understanding. Please apply to adopt Nikki.  She really needs a loving, forever home.

Nikki came from a hoarding/breeding situation that was busted and over 100 dogs were removed. Many of the dogs that were removed didn't make it, but Nikki was one of the lucky ones.

Nikki is estimated to be around 5-6 years old. This sweet girl came out of a bad situation and deserves a chance at a happy life. She is very quiet and calm. She is scared of new situations, but given time to adjust, she will be ok. Nikki was in a temporary foster and they loved her - she was no trouble at all!  She can be very head shy and untrusting when you first approach her until she is comfortable.  She would do best in a home with all adults or older children. Please apply today to adopt or foster Nikki - she deserves a home where she can be loved and pampered.

If you are interested in adopting this dog, please first read our Adoption Procedure, by clicking on the link at the top of this page, 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.
