Bella is adjusting really well at her new foster home. She enjoyed her bath and is getting along great with her foster brother. Bella knows hand signs for sit, down, stay, and come. She is sleeping on a dog bed in the bedroom and seems to be fully housetrained.

Bella does not have a lot of confidence, so her foster mom is working on her socialization with children and new people. She met her foster mom's nieces and warmed up to them after spending some time observing them.  She is still reluctant to go outside on her own - she likes to stick right next to you.

 As Bella gets used to her new environment, she is becoming a lot more comfortable and is coming out of her shell more and more with each day. Bella is looking for a patient family that will allow her to feel comfortable and that can continue to work with socializing Bella to new experiences.

Bella moved into her new foster home today and the initial introductions with her foster brother, a young male boxer, went really well.  Her foster mom will be updating her page soon with new pictures and information, once she gets to know her better.

Bella has been doing well and is still looking for a foster or forever home. Her owner feels she would be good with other dogs her size. She is not recommended for a home with smaller dogs.  It would be great for her to be able to run and play with another dog, which is what she has been able to do at her current home.  Bella goes for runs in the morning with her owner and is great on leash. She has not been around children at all and their energy level frightens her, so we are recommending a home without kids.

Bella is crate trained.  She loves to run and play in her yard.  She is not a confident dog, so will need a home that can provide some socialization and training for her.  If you can provide a home for Bella, apply today!

Bella is a one year old female boxer who is being surrendered to rescue because her family does not feel she is a good fit for their home. Bella is currently living with a male Pomeranian and a male Siberian Husky, but she is very dominant with both dogs and has been kept separate from the smaller dog. Bella is very nervous around children, so would do best in a home without young kids until she can get more socialization around them. Bella has been friendly with adult visitors.

Bella would love to find a home where she can get a lot of attention. She is crate trained and housetrained. Bella does well with an invisible fence and she loves to run in the yard. She wants to please and enjoys playing fetch. Bella has been spayed and is up to date on all vet care. If you can provide a foster or forever home for Bella, apply today!

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.
