Gunner is an active boxer boy, but he enjoys relaxing also.  His energy level mirrors what he sees in the house from us and his fur sister, AABR Alum Tillie. Gunner is estimated to be 5.5 years of age and Tillie is about 6.5 years, so they share in play time together, hanging out on their beds and oh, yes, they love boxing together!

Gunner gets along well with the dogs we have encountered. He walks nicely on a leash. Gunner is still showing signs of a limp and has difficulty getting up from the laying down position after an extended period of time, so he'll be seen by the U Penn Animal Hospital Orthopedics Specialty for a further evaluation. Overall, Gunner is a sweet boy and thrives in an environment where he has a boxer sibling and doesn't have to be crated often.

Meet Gunner! He was surrendered to the shelter after he was done being used as a stud.  Gunner is a friendly and energetic guy. He does well with other dogs and has gone to doggie daycare. While at the shelter, they noticed lameness in one of his back legs. It turns out that Gunner has a partial ACL tear. AABR will be taking him in and he will have his surgery with us. This guy is ready to be a family dog!!

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.
