Macey is doing great in her foster home.  She is currently living with both male and female dogs, big and little.  Macey is wonderful with all of them!  She is even fine with my cats, which is something I can't say too often about my foster boxers.  She has been very gentle with Emmy, the boxer puppy I am fostering and would like nothing more than to mother her.  Macey has one of the best dispositions and will sit, high five, and give gentle kisses for a treat.  She walks great on leash and travels well in the car.  I really can't say enough good things about Macey.

I had to keep Macey in quarantine and separated from the other dogs while she was being treated for possible mange when she first arrived in rescue.  Not one time did Macey bark or scratch at the door to come in with the others.  She would wait patiently for me in my laundry room and look at me with her beautiful brown eyes as if she understood.  She knew her happy days were ahead of her. 

Macey attended one of our adoption events today and was a big hit.  A lot of people stopped by to see her and give Macey kisses.  She loved every minute of it.  Macey would like to find a family to call her own that can provide her with good food, a warm bed, treats, and lots of love.  If you think you have room for this petite senior, please apply today for Macey!

Macey is an 8 yr old female boxer who was surrendered to a high kill shelter in Maryland.  The owner indicated that her parents now lived with them, so she no longer had any time for Macey.  Macey was reported to be very friendly with dogs, cats, and children.  She is well behaved at the vet and completely housebroken.

One of AABR's foster homes stepped up quickly to get this senior girl out of the shelter.  Macey only had to spend one night there.  Based on the condition Macey arrived in rescue, it quickly became apparent that she had not been well taken care of.  Macy was seen at our vet and it was determined that she has sarcoptic mange.  Because she has been scratching with long nails, she also has sores on her body.  Macey has pressure sores from laying on concrete and needs to gain weight.  Thankfully, the mange is completely treatable and she should be feeling better soon. 

Please consider donating to Macey for her current vet bills and upcoming dental surgery.  We will continue to provide updates on Macey's progress.  In the short amount of time she has been in foster, she has proven to have an extremely sweet and loving disposition.

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.
