Shirley has been out of the puppy mill and in foster for 2 weeks now. Having her over the last two weeks has been like watching a beautiful flower bloom. She now has the freedom to run in the fenced yard, to go for leashed walks, and to get loving, and lots and lots of TLC. Every day she has gotten more comfortable with her beautiful surroundings. It is all new to her and she takes everything in...you can just see it in her adoring eyes.

Shirley's past may have been spent in an oppressive puppy mill, but her future is ever so bright. She is looking for a loving home that will continue to let her blossom. She will need a fenced in yard and nice walks. A good solid gentle male dog to show her the way would help her adjust and trust! Most of all she needs someone to love her and commit to her for the rest of her life just as she will do for you. If you fit the above description please apply to give Shirley the forever home she so deserves.

Shirley came to AABR from a local puppy mill owner.  Shirley is looking for a loving home that will be patient with her while she adjusts to living in a home for the first time. Everything is new to Shirley- things like car rides, the vacuum, television, washer and dryer, etc. She is a very sweet girl and comes when called. Because she is scared off the leash, she is seeking a home that can help her learn that going on the leash for walks is fun and not to be afraid of.

The way to win Shirley's heart is with time and patience. A home that is willing to give her time to adjust and be supportive of her needs is the key to help her gain confidence and become a carefree girl. Apply today to open your home to Shirley!

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.
