Oakley is a 2 year old male boxer.  He was surrendered to the shelter because Oakley is reactive on leash when being walked.  He is now being boarded with our trainer and working on this.  Oakley's previous home reported he was good with the neighbor's cats and female lab.  He is also housebroken.  Oakley is a petite boy, weighing 44 lbs.

Oakley is a smart dog and needs a savvy owner.  The home the shelter placed him in only had him for three weeks and didn't have the time needed to work with a trainer.  Oakley is making progress and will need an active home that can provide continued exercise and training.

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.
