Duncan saw the oncologist this week. Unfortunately, the mass on his hind leg is cancerous. Due to the size of the mass, the oncologists felt his best chances were if we amputated his leg.

Duncan had his amputation surgery on Friday and is now back in his foster home and recovering well. His lymph nodes will be sent out for biopsy to determine if there was any metastasis. While the oncologist does not feel the chances are high of metastasis, if the biopsy is positive, he will also need additional treatments, possibly radiation and/or chemo. The current estimate for his amputation is $3000. If you can help, please consider making a donation towards Duncan's care!

Please welcome Duncan to AABR!  AABR got a call from a local shelter about a super happy boxer with an infectious smile that came into the shelter as a stray.  Boy, they weren't kidding!  Duncan is such a happy go lucky boy and you can't help but smile from just being around him.  He did great with his dog test at the shelter and was happy to meet and greet anyone and anything that wanted to stop by and say hi!

Duncan is such a lovely dog - he is going to make a family very happy.  Duncan has a very large mass on his rear leg that we are going to have looked at to determine what it is.  However, it does not stop him from having such an awesome personality! 

AABR will most likely have a pretty decent size bill from taking care of Duncan's leg, so please consider donating to his medical fund if you can.  Thank you for your interest in Duncan.  We will check back in again once we learn more about him.

In memory of my sweet Angel, Duncan, who lost his battle with seizures.  It will be 2 years ago on August 3rd. He passed away at the young age of 3 years old.

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.
