Rosco was welcomed into his new foster home on 5/5/12. Rosco is a well behaved and mannerly 6 year old boy. He had been returned to the rescue from a family in Connecticut where he was no longer wanted by his owner’s wife, who never bonded with this precious boy - even after being with him for more than 5 years. Rosco’s owner made the very sad trek to Pennsylvania, where he left him with some goodbyes and some tears. Rosco’s owner said giving him up was the hardest thing he had to do.

Words cannot express how good Rosco has been since arriving at his new foster home. He seemed to really miss his owner because he whimpered softly in the car. After the initial excitement of meeting his new foster sister and family, Rosco sat staring out the window of the door, whimpering and waiting for his owner to come back for him. To help Rosco with his transition, we bombarded him with affection and reassured him that he is a good boy. He was glad to return this with traditional boxer wiggles and kisses.

Rosco is gentle, loves to give kisses, and melts your heart with his beautiful warm chestnut colored eyes that match his soft dark brindle coat and flashy chest. He and his new foster sister get along great and enjoy each other’s company. They run around together in the yard and enjoy a treat or two after play time. Rosco goes for walks on the leash and is happy to walk right alongside his foster daddy without pulling or straying away. Rosco has not had one accident in the house. He respects his new home and does not try to take anything that does not belong to him and has not engaged in any type of counter or table surfing. Rosco is really a low-key kind of guy that just wants to be loved and make his fellow humans happy.

Right now, Rosco is overweight. Unlike most dogs that come into the rescue, we are making efforts to help him lose a little weight through diet and exercise so he can enjoy himself more without tuckering out. Rosco also has a skin condition that was identified as seasonal alopecia, with possible allergies, so we are doing our best to investigate this issue and help to resolve it for him. Rosco’s skin does not seem to bother him as long as he is given regular baths. Rosco is good with other dogs and it has been reported that he is good with cats too. Rosco has not encountered many young children in his foster home, so at this time Rosco is recommended for families with kids over 8 and any change in that status will be updated accordingly.

Rosco deserves to have a good home and a loving family that will welcome him with open arms. After all he’s been through, he just wants to be able to give and receive love from a human that will not desert or replace him again. Are you the right family for Rosco?

4/1/12

Rosco is coming back into rescue after being in his home for the past five years.  He has been living with a 6 year old female boxer and would love to find a home with another low-key buddy to pal around with.  Rosco is reported to have allergies, which have been managed primarily through a good diet.  Rosco is friendly and gets along great with people.  He doesn't realize how strong he can be, so a home with older children may be best.  Rosco just wants to be loved.  If you are looking for a boxer that will love you unconditionally, then look no further - Rosco is your boy!

1/07/07 - Meet Rosco

We went to the kennel today to take Rosco out for a walk and to take some pictures. What a good boy he is. Everyone there wishes that they can take him home. He is such a handsome boy! Mostly all brindle with just a little bit of white.

Rosco came from a very good home who took super good care of him and it shows. Due to a divorce, he was turned over to boxer rescue. He just loves everyone he meets. He seems to be housebroken but he can use some leash training. This boy did not want to get back in that kennel when we brought him back but did so reluctantly when he knew that was what he had to do.

He seems rather sad to be at the kennel. Won't you please open your heart and home to this sweet boy and give him a foster or forever home. He has recently been neutered and is all ready to go!

2007:

If you are interested in adopting this dog, please first read the information on our Adoption Procedures, 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.
