BoxAR Policies

- our rescue Boxers will only be placed as "inside" dogs
- we prefer that you have a fence to contain your dog however we will make exceptions under proper conditions
- your existing pets must be altered
- your Boxer must be kept on heartworm preventive and receive regular vet care
- obedience training is required for some Boxers and suggested for all
- we may not do a "same-sex" placement because some dogs will not get along with another of the same sex
- we prefer not to adopt to homes with children under the age of 10 due to the risk of injury, not from aggression, but from the natural exuberance which many Boxers exhibit. There are exceptions to be sure to discuss it with your Adoption Coordinator

Adoption Procedures
- fill out the application (by completing the application you acknowledge that you have read our policies and you understand that we may turn down your application for any reason)
- we will check vet and personal references
- you will be interviewed by phone at which time an appointment will be made for a visit to your home
- the home visit is accomplished (we ask that all family members be present for this visit)
- we will set up a date for you to come and meet the Boxer(s) you are interested in (we ask that you bring your family members as well as your existing dogs
- the adoption fee is paid, the contract is signed and you may take your new family member home
NOTES: Our adoption fees are based on the age of our dogs. We do not negotiate adoption fees. This is not a "sale" but a fee that enables us to continue to help more Boxers in the future. We are all unpaid volunteers and, as such, we only keep our heads above water by accepting the adoption fee. We also accept donations and we do hold fundraisers from time to time. You may also be interested in sponsoring one of our needy Boxers. If so, contact our director for details.
