Angus is a great hiking companion. He loved all the people he met, big and small, and other dogs he met along the way! If you love the great outdoors and are looking for an awesome buddy, he is still available with AABR and his name is Angus.  As you can see from the new pictures, Angus loves children and his foster brother, Hank!

Hello - Angus here just checking in to tell you how AWESOME I am!! My foster family loves me and I love them (especially my foster Dad and brother). I am in foster with AABR Hank and we have become best buddies! We play catch me if you can, tug, and all kinds of other fun games he makes up! When I am not playing, I am napping - which is a favorite past time of all boxers.

My foster Mom is teaching me to stay and I have to be honest, I am getting it. She is also teaching me heel and it is starting to work. I am just so excited when out on leash to meet the world that sometimes I forget. I potty outside in our "doggie outhouse" and get so excited when my foster Mommy asks if I have to go (I think that is a good thing cause I am told I am a good boy!) My foster Mom is a great cook and she feeds me well so I am at the perfect weight and I must be looking pretty handsome. I love my family so much that I don't like when they leave and I want to go with them so I am hoping my forever family can stay home with me or take me with them to work. I will be good.

I like people, big and little. I like dogs, big and little. I even like cats, but they scare me when they hiss! Check out my new pictures. My foster Mom loves to catch me sleeping cause I like to hang my head and she says I am a funny boy!

Though this guy is a stray, in the bonding time we had I can report that Angus is a young energetic male willing to learn and ready to please. Within minutes, he was following my commands and doing whatever I asked for a treat - even with all the activities of the shelter. He is a smart boy! He is super friendly in greeting everyone he meets, big and little, with the typical boxer wiggle. He came into contact with a few dogs being adopted and Angus wiggled and wanted to play. The shelter tested him with cats and it was reported that he paid no attention to the cat nor did the cat pay any attention to him. Angus seemed excited to leave the shelter, so was very strong on lead. This will need some work, but beyond that he appears house trained and a total love! If you think you might have the time, patience and love for a boxer - Angus might be your boy!!

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.
