We at AABR, believe that a Boxer is just about the perfect friend. However, he or she will demand a lot from you. They’ll rely on you for nearly everything; food, water, shelter, protection, training, exercise, grooming, veterinary care, and of course love and companionship. While it is important to choose the right Boxer for your needs, it is equally important to ensure that you can meet theirs. You must prepare for their arrival, and make them a well-mannered and welcome member of your community. The responsibilities of being a guardian of any dog are great, but the love and friendship you’ll receive in return is priceless.

Adopt A Boxer Rescue is an all-volunteer 501 (c) (3) charitable organization formed to rescue, rehabilitate, and re-home unwanted and abandoned boxer dogs.

Area of Operation:
We work within Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, northern Virginia, Washington DC and Rhode Island. All applications are subject to the availability of volunteers in your area, and applications submitted from bordering states may be considered depending on the availability of volunteers near your home.

If you live outside of AABR’s area of operation, please do an internet search on “boxer rescue” plus your state, and contact those rescues to help.

Sunday, 09/18/16, was Puppy Mill Awareness Day so we felt it appropriate to launch Adopt A Boxer Rescue’s new website with an update story on one of our mill rescues.  Her new mom wrote:

Mill Momma Daisy at 2 months!

So, it’s been 2 months since mill momma Daisy joined our home. The first three pictures are of where she spent her first 6 years, and her first moments of freedom…    No words for that… The last picture is of her new life with her now best bud, AABR Aries.

Daisy is learning so many new things and she brings such joy to our lives. 

Roxi was on the website for quite awhile, without AABR updating her.  She was a senior dog, spayed in a shelter down south, with a mass on her leg that was also removed.  Initially she did not acclimate easily to her foster home, foster siblings, and shortly after arriving, her foster home determined she was deaf.  Oh… and did I mention she had a skin condition.  A lot going against her finding a forever home… But her foster home never gave up on her.

How’s that Rolling Stones song go…

We are anxious to make it official that she is a part of this family… I am pretty sure she is 100% confident she already is.

It has been such an amazing journey with this little lady.
