Dear old Mack lost his fight and was peacefully put to sleep with his foster mom, Linda, by his side.  He was able to pass away peacefully after being in a loving home and we are grateful he was not alone in the shelter. 

01/19/11 -

Mack, at 15 yrs old, started a new life. Mack was dumped at the city shelter after spending what I am sure was 15 loving and loyal years devoted to his family. Mack was scared and alone, but lucky for him, AABR stepped in right away and saved him. He now has a comfortable, warm foster home to rest his head. Mack lived with other dogs and kids. He seems to really like other dogs and wants to meet them all. His little nub wags like crazy when he meets them. He is such an incredible LOVE and has a great temperament! Mack loves to have his neck scratched and you can hug him and squeeze him and he just doesn't mind. He has the most soulful eyes and looks right at you as he rests his head on your lap.

Mack went to the vet tonight to have bloodwork done, as well as many other things checked and tested. He has a tumor on his leg that we will manage with pain meds to keep him comfortable. Please donate toward Mack's care. We would not be able to save him without your help! We will do everything in our power to assure Mack enjoys his days on earth, however many that may be, in comfort and in a loving, caring home. Thank you for your support, and Mack thanks you too!!

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.
