Shadow

Hi Everyone, my name is Shadow! My foster mom and dad saved me from animal control and have given me a great new home to stay in! I am so thankful that they saved me that I follow them everywhere they go and that is why they named me Shadow. My foster mom tells me that I am a sweet, loving, good boy. I greet everyone with lots of kisses and my nub is always wagging. I really like my fur brother, even if he isn't sure about me. He is trying to teach me how to play because my foster mom says that no one ever taught me what to do. I am going to start my heartworm treatment soon and then I'll be ready to find my forever home! If you are looking for a sweet, laid back, loyal companion for life, then I'm your guy!

Jewel

Jewel is definitely a gem. Even after nearly being starved to death, she has maintained a sweet disposition. She loves to give kisses. She wags her little tail whenever she gets attention. She is also a quick learner. She went from having numerous accidents on her first day to none on her third. She is good with children. She is also doing well with the female boxer with whom she lives. Check back for more updates as she gains weight and her personality blossoms. Visit our infirmary page for her full story.

Candi

Candi is my name, as in Cotton Candy, because I am pink and white and oh so sweet! I am a happy Boxer who likes to play, play, play with my toys and fur siblings. Oh, and I have a full tail, my foster mom says that is a special trait because most Boxers have short tails. I am good in a crate and pretty good on the housetraining too. I have a stuffed kitty that is my favorite toy, I sleep in my crate with my paws around her all night long. I know how to sit and can jump very high in the air….hmmmm, I wonder if I would make a good agility dog? I am pretty skinny too, so my foster family is working hard to fatten me up. If you have a special place in your home for a white Boxer with a full tail, ask for Candi on your application.

Brutus

This hunk of burnin' love is Brutus. He came into the rescue from animal control where he was picked up as a stray and never reclaimed - hard to believe how so many wonderful dogs end up that way - but they do. Brutus has tested positive for heartworms and will be undergoing treatment so will not be available for 6 weeks. But don't let that stop you from putting in your application today - this handsome boy won't last for long! Brutus currently lives with a fur brother, and his foster Mommy says that he is a very sweet boy, doesn't jump and is very calm and respectful. Doesn't tug on the leash when walked and is always watching the leader. He will make a great pet for someone that will give him the love that all boxers need and want. If this sounds like the dog for you...put Brutus on your application today.

Beauregard

Beauregard (Bo) is a handsome 4 year old fawn, neutered male boxer who was rescued from a high kill Atlanta shelter in June.  At the time he had a golf ball sized tumor on his leg that has since been removed. He has recovered quite nicely.  Bo has a sweet disposition and is happy to please you. He wants to go everywhere with you, especially on long car rides.  He loves people, children and cats! He should blend in nicely with an established and experienced boxer home. Lots of kisses.

Veterinarians estimate his age to be at 4 and he has been neutered.  A full medical history from his attending veterinarian will be provided upon request.  Because of his neglected past, Bo was treated for (and will be cured) heartworm & mast cell tumors.  We are happy to report that his heartworm is being successfully treated and that both mast cell tumors have been removed.  He is, officially, cancer-free!

His socialization is progressing quite nicely.  His desire to please makes him a quick study.  He thrives in group environments.  Already, he has made great strides in his housebreaking.  He is a hearty eater and has shown absolutely no aggression towards food.  He does not like to be crated and is not a candidate to be left alone all day, for now.  In his past, neglected, abused life he was probably an outdoor dog with little socialization prior to abandonment.  He appears to though have reclaimed some of his playful puppy vigor during his recovery...we are all proud of him. He's going to make it!

No question that with an experienced boxer home and one that is committed to Rescue, Bo will provide years of companionship.  With his health issues behind him, he is ready to please you.

Rocky

Hi! Meet Rocky! His foster mom says, "This has to be the sweetest, most gentle boy I have ever met." He loves to give hugs and kisses. He's also a big cuddle bug and always wants to be around his humans. He learned "sit" in one day and is working on leash training. He will go in his crate but it takes some coaxing and a treat! Rocky loves his foster sister; he likes to chase her around the yard and play "keep away" with his toys. Rocky is not aggressive at all and would be a great addition to an active family.

Addie - PENDING ADOPTION

Meet Addie. This may be the sweetest, most gentle Boxer you have ever seen. Addie is around 3 years old with a heart of gold. Addie apparently has had a hard life, but she has not lost her gentle disposition or love for giving Boxer kisses. Addie has gotten along very well with her foster brother and foster sister. She plays well (not aggressive) and mixes well with the pack. Though a bit shy at first, she loves to run with her friends and chase after tennis balls.
Addie does reasonably well in a crate, though it is not her favorite place in the house. Addie appears to have been strictly an outside dog before, but she is learning the ways of the house quickly and easily. She is doing well with house training and is not destructive at all (though she does have a passion for shoes). In just a day, she already learned “sit” and is doing very well with “down.”
Addie is a very special dog who has already become a loved and cherished part of her foster family, if only for a short while. She deserves a loving home where she can play regularly and get lots of affection and attention. If you are looking for a lovable, sweet dog, you can’t do better than Addie.

Tonka - PENDING ADOPTION

"TONKA" means "great" in Sioux and this boy fits his name perfectly. He has a sweet, gentle spirit. One look into his soulful eyes and you will fall in love. He likes being near people and is content lying by your feet. However, a quick pet sends his little tail immediately into overdrive. He is wonderful with kids of all ages. The kids have found his tickle spot and love to give him belly rubs and watch his leg go. He is great with other dogs. He does not feel the need to be Alpha. He is housebroken and will go into a crate (he does not love it but is very content if another dog is in it and, if not, he will tolerate it). Mention Tonka on your application if he sounds like a “great” dog for you.

Ollie

This is Ollie. Ollie is a super sweet, loving and loyal little tail wagger. He is very well behaved on the leash, in the house (while his foster mom is at work), and out in public. Sweet little Ollie is always close by in case you need help with anything. He knows “leave it,” “No,” “Sit,” “Come” (though he’s probably already right there with you) and just eats up any bit of praise. Ollie is bright eyed, attentive and adoring of his person/pack leader. He’s learning to play with toys and has the most heartwarming expression of joy as he leaps like a deer thru the yard when running and playing. He would love to show you his jump spin move; he’s pretty good at it. Mr. Ollie is an attention HOG yet very gentle with his boxer kisses. He gets along well with others including his foster fur sister and the kitties of the house. He’s housebroken, not food aggressive, doesn’t care for shoes, and is not destructive. He doesn’t care for his crate at all but luckily, he’s so well behaved it’s not necessary that he be confined while home alone with his foster fur siblings. Ollie will be starting his heartworm treatment soon but if you’re interested in this precious boxer boy, just write in his name on your application.

Sophie - PENDING ADOPTION

Hi! My name is Sophie. I was in an animal shelter where I was very scared and depressed but now I know those days are over. My sniffles are almost gone and I'm ready for a fresh start. I'm a little shy but my foster mom says I am the sweetest boxer that she has ever met. I constantly give kisses and wag my tail, yep that's right I don't have one of those nub things mine is the real deal. I also want to be in your lap all the time and give you boxer hugs. I like to be with you every minute I can but when I can't I'm very well behaved and am allowed to have free roam. My foster brother is kind of jealous because he doesn't even get that right! If you want a laid back boxer that will shower you with affection put Sophie on your application. You won't regret it!

Roxy

Roxy is a sweet-natured, high energy, loveable girl who just wants to be with her "person" or "pack". She loves to run and play hard with her little foster dog brother, but is also gentle enough to share a treat bone with him. She's a frendly girl who is eager to greet & make a friend out of everyone she encounters. When she's not romping around and playing with her dog friend, she loves to snuggle up closely with her foster mom on the couch.

Roxy is a smaller girl, weighing in about 40 lbs and is approximately 1 year old. She has some hip dysplasia in her back leg, and some scarring on her front shoulder. Neither are a hindrance to her exuberant and playful self, or anything requiring any health treatments other than a regular glucosamine supplement. She is current on all her vaccinations, spayed and microchipped. Roxy is looking for a happy forever home that can give her the attention, exercise and love that she so richly deserves!

Chloe - PENDING ADOPTION

This beautiful brindle, Chloe, was saved from animal control on the day she was to be put down. We have no idea how someone could give up such a sweet, gentle, loving dog. She even has AKC certification papers. Chloe is a bit skittish around men, but give her a minute and a lot of love, and soon you will have a boxer shadow. She has a funny toe on her front paw, but this does not slow her down when chasing and playing in the yard with her foster dog brother. She loves to play, but her favorite thing is to cuddle up on the couch. She is such a beautiful dog - people stop us on the street to comment on her gorgeous coat. Any family who gets Chloe will be as lucky as she was the day she was rescued.

Toby

This good looker is Toby. He loves to go outside for a walk and is very good on the leash. When he meets any other dogs his tail wags a mile a minute - that's right, Mr. Toby has his tail, and he loves to show it off when he sees potential friends! He is potty trained and will go into a crate but gets some anxiety and does just fine when left out. He has learned what "no" means and is very responsive to the word, he also comes when called. He has learned to sit, and is working on stay...but he gets so excited to be right next to you that he is having trouble with that. He is definetly a velcro boxer! He is very calm and relaxed, and is perfectly content curling up next to you getting loving. He plays very well with other dogs and also has been kid tested and approved ( around the ages of 4-7). He is also a perfect gentleman when meeting people, he does not jump or demand attention, just waits and receives it.
If interested in this handsome dog then mention him on your application today.
