Adoption services: We have cared for and placed hundreds of Boxers, of all ages into loving homes. We have many returning clients who through the years have adopted their boxers from FAB (Findaboxer.com) – Mary Venable. Our boxers live at our facility allowing us to interact daily with them to understand their nature and temperament. Our adoption teams work very hard in matching the right boxer with your needs and lifestyle. We do everything we can to select a dog that will fit right into your life. We take the guess work out of finding the right dog...it's all about the right match.
Medical services:
Before a dog leaves Find A Boxer – they are spayed or neutered and shots are brought up to date. We treat any injuries or medical conditions that are apparent to us. We advise all new adopters to take their newly adopted Boxer to their vet for a full and complete check up. Medical services are one of the most costly line items each year for us. Many Boxers that are abandoned suffer stress at the very least and often more serious conditions are the result of their prior lives. We work with a network of veterinarians who are considerate to our cause but medical cost still run in the thousands every year. If a dog has a chance at quality of life, we strive to give them that opportunity. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing a boxer bloom with proper care and love.
Evaluation:
We evaluate all our dogs for temperament. There is the right dog for every person and knowing the dogs in our care is the only way to make that match. We are trainers who work on behavioral problems and can assist anyone who needs advice. We stand behind our dogs and provide solid training advice via our website and a network of trainers who can consult. We strongly recommend contacting us immediately if a Boxer is behaving in a manner you are not happy with. We are happy to help you correct problems as soon as you are aware of them to avoid future frustration. We are here to help especially after the Boxer goes home with you.
The adoption process:
By now you must have seen a few of the faces and profiles of Boxers available for adoption. If not, check out the available dogs page, filled with every age, color, and personality you could imagine. The first step is to fill out an online adoption. This is what gives us an insight to your lifestyle and inevitably which Boxers would be good candidates for you. After we receive your application and you are approved a volunteer will contact you. An appointment will be made for you to come and meet the Boxers. You will bring everyone involved (kids, other pets) to meet with us. Placement volunteers will work with you to make a love connection. When you find your perfect Boxer a contract is signed and an adoption donation is made. You get to take your new family member home that day! As stated before..... we operate strictly on our personal investments. Adoption donations are helpful, and we would be very grateful for any amount should you choose to make a donation. You will be given any paperwork we have on the dog, a Boxer Care booklet filled with information, referrals, and contacts to help you and your new Boxer adjust to each other. We stand behind our dogs and provide follow up advice and help when needed.
About rescued Boxers:
We are often asked why so many Boxers are given up by people. The fact that we have rescued thousands of boxers does not mean they are given up more than any other breed, but that we are able to house that many Boxers throughout the year. The number of dogs we save is a tribute to the number of people out there helping us save them. We have a lot of Boxers because we do a very good job of saving as many boxers in our region as possible.
They are not in shelters because they are bad dogs, just dogs in bad situations. Most dogs in rescue are there because of a lack of commitment by their previous owners. Many people can't resist a helpless cute puppy. Six months later, when no one took the time to train the dog, or spend time with the dog, they are not so cute anymore. People move, people get divorced, people are not always committed to their pets.
Boxers are a wonderful, fun loving, people oriented breed. They flourish when included in the person or family’s home and life. A Boxer secluded to a yard will not be the happy, well adjusted companion most people are looking for. As part of your life, they can fill your heart with love and laughter.
With any rescue dog there is a period of adjustment required to feel safe and comfortable. Depending on the dog it could be from 2 minutes to 2 months. Every dog is an individual. We are always available for advice and follow up. We are committed to helping Boxers fit into their new homes. We only ask that you are sure of your commitment before you adopt. A Boxer will love you unconditionally until the day they die.
