Meet Mercedes. Mercedes was found in rural West Virginia as a stray.  Having non-contagious mange is likely the reason she was turned outside on her own, but she is now fully on the mend. Mercedes is crated-trained and is working hard on her house-training and leash walking skills. She loves to snuggle up in bed at night with anyone who will let her. This little girl is very sweet and wiggly with lots of energy!

The foster family for Mercedes sent the following first update:

Mercedes is a great little puppy. She is the perfect mix of puppy fun mixed with calm periods when she is absolutely content just to just snuggle! She is smart and picking up house training quickly. She gets along with the 65 lb resident male boxer and absolutely ADORES children of all ages. She is currently in foster with a 16 yr old, 10 yr old and 7 yr old. Mercedes knows "no" and a stern voice is all you need and she listens and stops what she is doing! She is not a chewer and knows what is a dog toy and has not touched one children's toy. She is working on walking on her leash. She is great in the car and enjoys going for rides. Mercedes is very motivated with treats so with continued consistency, Mercedes will be a great dog for any family!

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.
