Bentley is being returned to rescue because his family feels he needs a home with less people coming and going.  Bentley needs some work with his manners when people come into his home.  He does not know his own strength and can overwhelm people.  Bentley can also be possessive of his food and treats with other dogs. 

Bentley goes to the dog park and plays nicely with all the other dogs.  He has been living with a female boxer.  Bentley walks well on leash and knows all of his commands.  He does not like the crate, but will go into it for short periods of time.  Bentley is completely housebroken.  He loves being a couch potato and really thinks he is a lap dog.  If you can provide a forever home for Bentley, apply today!

Bentley was found as a stray several months ago.  The person who found him was not able to locate his owner and has recently moved into a home that does not allow dogs, so they have contacted rescue for help in finding Bentley a forever home that is knowledgeable about a young boxer.  During the time he has been with them, Bentley has done well with a cat and three children (ages 10, 12, and 13 yrs).  He chases the cat and wants to play, but has never been aggressive.  Bentley has interacted with other dogs and has been very playful.  He is completely housebroken, but does not like a crate. 

Bentley was transported into rescue today.  He traveled well in the car and was very friendly with every new person he met, giving lots of kisses!  Bentley does pull on leash and needs some basic obedience training.  He would love to find a home with a fenced yard so he can run and play.  Bentley will be neutered and brought up to date on all his vaccines.  He will then be arriving at his new foster home.  We will update Bentley's page once we learn more about him.

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.
