Percy has adjusted well to his foster home. He is living with both a male and female Boxer and gets along great with them both! He loves to go for walks and meet new people. Percy has been around people from one year of age up and he just loves everyone. Percy enjoys playing with toys and balls and loves to chew as well. On a very good note, it appears that Percy is not deaf, but just has selective hearing (what Boxer doesn't!). This is one great boy, get your applications in now!!

Percy has been doing well at the kennel at the vet's office. The staff all think he is a sweet boy. He has met a couple of different dogs and has done well with them. He can be a bit particular with excitable dogs and introductions need to be done properly. He does not appreciate a dog that rushes at his face, which is just plain rude, but a dog that approaches calmly and sniffs first and then says hello will be accepted. I think he has not had much human TLC, and has become quite independent for a deaf boy. He enjoys snugging and will climb into your lap for a hug, but there's no crazy bouncing off the walls behavior. He's very interested in his surroundings, and does very well on the leash. Percy is just a sweet boy that life has not been particularly kind to, but he's making the best of his lot. Won't you give this dear boy a soft bed, a warm embrace, and a chance to see what a loving home is like?

Percy is still being boarded at the vet's office and is in need of a foster or forever home.  He was tested with another boxer today, and did great!  He also met a large mixed breed male dog at the vet's office and gave him lots of kisses.  If you can provide a home for Percy, apply today!

Please welcome Percy! This handsome fellow was brought to the shelter due to a new baby in the home. It was reported by his previous owners that he lived with another dog and a cat. His dog tests at the shelter were a bit inconclusive because he was just neutered and could not interact with the other dogs there. Percy is in need of a foster home so he can heal from his neuter surgery and so we can get to know him a little more. Percy didn't seem to mind meeting the cats at the shelter and he could probably live with them. Percy is a very friendly boy, not skittish at all, and walks beautifully on leash. At first, we thought he may be deaf. However, after performing some noise tests we found out that he does seem to hear loud noises. Percy will stick by your side and follow you around outdoors. He definitely loves to meet new people and is a happy boy that would love a warm home for the holidays!

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.
