Brutus is doing great in his new foster home.  He gets along very well with the three other dogs and is such a loveable boy.  Brutus quickly learned the layout of his new home and has no difficulty with stairs.  He is completely housebroken and does well in his crate.  Brutus has enjoyed being around the foster family's nieces and nephews, ages four and older.  He visited our ophthalmologist this week, who confirmed his previous diagnosis of Progressive Retinal Atrophy.  She did feel that Brutus might be able to still see bright light.  This boy is going to be a wonderful addition to a lucky family.  His blindness does not cause any issues - please don't let that deter you from applying for this amazing boy!

6/26/14 -

Brutus was owned by a military family in Korea, and was brought back to the United States in early May by a friend of the family.  His family was supposed to take possession of Brutus when they returned, but have since changed their minds.  His current home is being deployed to Colorado in late July, so has asked rescue to help find Brutus a new home. 

Brutus was diagnosed as being blind at just 13 weeks of age.  As a puppy, Brutus was very malnourished and had a rough start in life.  His previous vet records indicate that Brutus has Progressive Retinal Atrophy, which is a genetic condition that does not have a treatment.  We will be following up with our ophthalmologist once Brutus arrives in his new foster home. 

Being blind has not slowed Brutus down at all.  He is an energetic, young boxer boy who loves to play!  Brutus does not know his size, so may knock down a smaller child.  His favorite toy is a stuffed Polar Bear.  Brutus enjoys playing with his toys and then lounging on the couch.  He loves to lay in your lap.  Brutus is crate trained and knows his basic commands.  He walks really well on leash.

Brutus is currently living with a female Corgi/Lab mix and three children, ages 4, 9, and 13.  He will be arriving at his new foster home this weekend, where he will be living with three other boxers.  We will update his page once we learn more about Brutus.

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 3 months to adopt a Rescue Boxer to an approved applicant, depending on your personal circumstances and flexibility.  

Not every home is the right match for a boxer, and 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 at your home visit of other dogs you are interested...  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.
