Odie is still waiting for his forever home.  He now needs a new foster home, as his current foster will be moving and Odie would need to be crated too long each day since she will no longer be able to run home at lunch.

Odie is truly a love and he loves to snuggle.  He greets me every day when I come home; hopping around and boxer wiggling.  He is a loyal companion.  He does need a home to be understanding and people to be patient with him during introductions to new people due to his previous life living outside in a dog house.  He is very loyal to his family and just needs someone who will do slow introductions to new people and not let people just walk right in the house.  Some people he does great with right away. I place him on a leash and give the other person a treat and introduce him. 

He loves other dogs as he gets along great with 3 of my dogs, the last 2 resident dogs in his foster home, and his recent new dog friend, Shy.  He loves the kids here.  He is great in the car and at the vet.  Whenever he is boarded at the vet, they always say how sweet he is.  He has learned the crate and is used to being in there for approx. 5-6 hours a day.  He is completely housetrained and is okay being left for free run of the house.  He learned the doggie door in less than a day.  

Most of the time, Odie will sleep on the couch or lay next to your feet.  He does enjoy his romp time with the other dogs and also his daily walks, which I know he comes back tired out.  Odie spends his night time sleeping on the loveseat or in his foster mom's bed with his fur friends.

Odie has settled in at his foster home and he has a great personality. He has been enjoying all his rides in the car this summer and hanging out with the kids during the day. Odie has been having fun playing with his fur brothers with chase and tug a war each day. He is super sweet with people he knows and trusts. He does need a slow introduction to new people. A big yard and quiet house would be an ideal home for Odie. Odie would love a home that is understanding and patient with him. He needs a family to help him be the best he can be.

Meet Odie the lovable marshmallow! Odie came to us from a home where he lived outside in a dog house. He is enjoying living indoors. He is completely housetrained and knows basic commands. Odie is a protector of his home and humans. He always watches out the window to see what is outside or who may be coming. Living outdoor for this guy made him protective of his property. I guess we all would be protective too if that's all we knew and had.

All this boy needs is a proper introduction to know the human coming in your home is okay and he will give them lots of sloppy kisses and love just like he does for me each day. Odie has happily settled into his foster home. He is enjoying his time with his fur brothers and sisters. He has free roam of the house all the time and doesn't touch a thing except his toys. Odie loves to play with the other two Boxers or the Boston in the home...playing tug a war or chasing the ball. He also loves to sleep with his doggie friends or humans. He has mastered the doggie door and loves to be able to go out and in at his leisure.

Odie loves having a yard to run and play in with his doggie pals. He loves to go for car rides and is a perfect gentleman at the vet. Odie follows me around the house all the time or he lays by my feet. He is a very strong dog and does pull on the leash. I am working with Odie to teach him how to walk gently on the lead. Odie is around children who stay every other weekend (ages 9, 12, and 14) who he adores and loves to hang out and watch tv with them or sleep with them. He is a big love with a huge heart.

Odie's ideal home would be a home with older kids and a large yard to run with other doggie pals in the suburbs or country. Apply today to adopt this fabulous dog. I would adopt him in a minute if I was looking to adopt another fur kid :)

Odie is your typical young boxer - full of energy and excitement.  He is completely housebroken and has free roam of the house when his owners are gone (cats are kept separate). Odie sleeps very well at night in the master bedroom with the other dogs. He knows all his basic commands and is a very smart guy. And, best of all, he is a big marshmallow who loves hanging with his family and will love yours!

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.
