Adopting A Rescue Boxer

How do I go about adopting a rescue boxer?

Our Adoption Application is available by mail or may be filled out online by clicking here. The application must be filled out in its entirety. The application will then be reviewed, references checked, and a home visit scheduled. If the application is approved, the process will begin to match a suitable boxer to the adoptive family and an appointment will be set to meet dog(s) that would be right for their family.

How long does it take?

Our goal is to place the right boxer in the right "forever" home. Sometimes we don't have exactly the right boxer available for the adoptive family, so the adoption process can take some time. If we rush to place a boxer and it doesn't fit into the family, we've made a mistake. We'd rather take a little additional time and do things correctly the first time rather than take the same boxer back into rescue and start the process all over again. If you have specific requirements as to color, ear type, etc., it will take longer to find you boxer.

How much does it cost?

Currently our adoption contributions are as follows:

• $300.00 for a dog aged 10 weeks to 6 months
  
• $250.00 for a dog aged 6 months to 1 year
  
• $225.00 for a dog over one year

The contribution covers the various expenses incurred in rescuing boxers. When we bring a boxer into our program it is taken to a veterinarian and given a complete examination, heartworm test (and treated if necessary) and vaccinated as needed. If the boxer has not been altered, it is spayed or neutered prior to adoption. We do everything possible to ensure that you will adopt a healthy boxer. If there are ongoing medical conditions, we will inform you prior to the adoption and will be available for consults to assist you in caring for your boxer.
