Paris is continuing to do well in her foster home. She recently went and stayed with a family for a few days who helped with dog sitting and she did great. Paris got to play hide & seek, ball, and frisbee. She did really well with the two children, ages 6 & 8. The family chose not to crate her and Paris was a perfect angel.

Paris is a very playful girl and will do just about anything to get your attention. She is house/crate trained and has no problem making her bowl clean :) - she loves dinner hour. Paris is currently being crated while I am work and when I get home her crate is perfect, like she fixed it up just before I walked in the door. She is a great little snuggler and will lay in your arms like a baby. Paris enjoys walks and is wonderful on the leash. She is getting about a 2 mile walk a day, but would keep going if I could, LOL. She knows her basic commands, but is so eager to learn more. Paris will not jump on you, but she can do the boxer wiggle like no other. She would love a home with a nice fenced in yard. Paris has the cutest face and will melt your heart with her expressions!

Paris was returned to rescue because she was not doing well with the older, dominant female in her new home. Her family was devastated to bring her back.  Paris has returned to her previous foster home, where she is living with a senior female boxer, a young male boxer, and a Pomeranian. Paris is a high-energy, playful girl who would love to find a forever home with a young male dog and a fenced yard. She is an amazing girl who is going to make somebody really happy! Apply today for Paris!

Paris is doing wonderful. She has come so far in such a short time. Paris knows her basic commands, such as sit, speak, paw, stay,& down.  She is crate trained and completely housetrained.  We are still working on her leash manners - she gets so excited when you ask her if she is ready to go bye-byes. 

Paris is currently living with both a female & male Boxer, along with a Pomeranian and 2 cats. She has not had much interaction with the cats, but does seem a little too curious about them. However, I would suspect that Paris could be okay with cats if given the chance to get used to them.

Paris is not much of a jumper and she will bark to let you know if she hears something. She loves attention and warms up very quickly. Paris has become quite the little charmer and she is very loyal.  Even when the rest of the gang is playing and having fun, she will wait until I am around before trying to join in with the others.

Paris is a great snuggler.  She does seem to enjoy her doggy bed on the floor next to my bed. She also doesn't seem to show much interest being on the furniture.  She is a typical boxer who loves toys - she will 'root' in the box to find the perfect toy. She loves tug toys, balls, frisbees, lazer lights, squeaky toys, and anything that makes a noise...did I mention she loves toys!  I enjoy watching her play. She is so patient and waits for my male Boxer to invite her to play. I also love the tilt she does with her head when she is curious about something.

We received wonderful news from the biopsy results.  The growth that was removed from Paris was a trichoblastoma, which is completely benign and not expected to grow back.  It should never have gotten to the shape it was in when it was finally removed and Paris was almost euthanized because of her neglect.  I am so thankful we were able to save this precious girl!

I would love for Paris to go to a home with a nice fenced in yard and another dog to call her furever friend. I am still amazed at how far this little girl has come in the short time since arriving with AABR.  She has the BIGGEST heart, great looks & an appetite too. And did I mention she loves toys :))))))  Apply today for Paris!

Included are some pictures of Paris from her transport yesterday. She did great in the car and had no problem meeting several new people.  Paris gave lots of kisses and her nub was always wagging. She arrived at her foster home and introductions went really well with the 3 other boxers and the Pomeranian. Her foster mom will be posting a new update once Paris settles in and she gets to know her better.

4/26/12 -

Paris is a three year old female boxer who is as sweet as can be. She developed an ulcerated tumor on her left hip and her family could not afford her medical care. A neighbor finally called animal control and Paris was signed over to the humane society.  She is very thin and has suffered obvious neglect.  Paris was scheduled to be euthanized, but AABR volunteers were able to get this girl quickly into rescue. Paris has now been spayed and her tumor has been removed. She has been brought up to date on all vet care and will be arriving at her new foster home this weekend. We will be posting more information about Paris as we learn more and new pictures will be added this weekend!

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.
