Lucille found herself at the shelter after getting into a scuffle with the neighbor's small dogs. Lucille is very thin - only 38 pounds - so her ride to the shelter may have been the best thing to happen to her. She was emotionally shut down when we met her at the shelter and we are giving her some time to come out of her shell before we test her with dogs, cats, and children.

In the two days she has been with us, Lucille has already decided that her purpose in life is to shadow my husband everywhere he goes. She is eating several smaller meals a day to get her digestive system back on track and the weight back on her bones. Lucille is quite the kisser, too. There will be no dirty faces while she's on duty! The crate is not her friend yet, but she has done just fine behind a gate and is not destructive at all. And we also discovered (accidentally...) that Lucille does not mind taking a swim in the pool.

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.
