Spotty has been waiting for a home since November.  He is a great dog, but his white face keeps many people from reading more about him.  Please consider adding a senior boxer to your family.  Our older boxers deserve to have a loving home for the remainder of their years.

Spotty has moved to a new foster home and is now living with AABR available dog, Bella.  He really enjoys having another dog around and should be placed with a dog in his forever home.  Spotty is an easygoing and well behaved boy.  He does well with children and loves to play with his ball.  If you are interested in adding a wonderful senior to your home, please consider adopting Spotty!

Spotty continues to settle in well and can best be described as an absolute sweetheart.  He has enjoyed having his doggy friends around.  Spotty spent time with a female boxer over the holiday break and he seemed to really open up and enjoy her company.  He watches her, follows her all over, and wants to be wherever she is at.  Spotty happily shares his bed, toys, and food with either dog.  He loves to play with his ball.  Spotty is very easy to walk on leash and is fully housebroken.  He has done well being crated, but doesn't need to be.  Spotty is a super low key boy and would love a home for the holidays with another dog.  Apply today for this handsome guy!

Spotty just arrived at his temporary foster home and is settling in nicely.  He is very low key and just wants to know where you are.  Spotty is still trying to figure out all of the changes in his life.  He walks great on leash and is housebroken.  Spotty has been able to be integrated with both a female boxer and a small breed dog in his foster home.  Spotty visited the vet prior to his transport, and it was determined that he has an old cruciate injury that has since healed.  He will occasionally limp when tired. 

Spotty will need a new foster home the second week of December.  If you can provide a foster home for this laid back, senior boy - apply today! 

11/18/15 -

Spotty and Ernie are 10 yr old siblings who were surrendered to the shelter because their owner passed away.  Spotty is a pretty laid back guy.  He would do best in a home without other animals.  Spotty has some arthritis and will be evaluated by our vet once he joins AABR.  His brother, Ernie, has found a foster home - but we are still urgently searching for a home for Spotty so he can leave the shelter.   Apply today if you are a possible match for Spotty!

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.
