Dixie

Meet Dixie, a pocket-sized, sweet, southern belle. Dixie loves her people and is gentle with all of them. She loves to come up next to you for attention. Dixie likes to be in the same room as you but does not need to be touching you. She is a submissive girl who gets along great with other dogs. She is both house- and crate-trained. She knows sit and, sometimes, down. She walks well on a leash. She is also super cute. She has a big under bite. So she can frequently be spotted with a snaggle-tooth smile or a bit of tongue hanging out. If Dixie sounds like your kind of girl, please mention her on your application.

Chix

Meet Chix. ABR got Miss Chix the day before Easter. Since ABR already had a Boxer named Bunny, my foster mom named me Chix. I am just the sweetest thing. I am pretty tiny although I do need to gain weight. I wiggle and wiggle like a good Boxer. I am house trained, crate trained, and very calm. I like to get in my foster Dad’s lap. I get along with the two Boxers in my foster home too. While I love everyone, I would do best in a home without small children. I will be looking for a permanent home once I get over my heartworm treatment. If you are looking for a small, laid back Boxer, ask for Chix on your application.

Major

Major is your typical young boxer. He is full of energy and love. He loves to play with other dogs especially with other boxers. Since he is a submissive boy, he has gotten along with every dog he meets. He is clueless that they are being dominant. He loves balls, Frisbees, ropes, kongs,...well, basically, any toy. He is both house- and crate-trained. He is happiest if his canine companion is crated next to him. For a treat or his food he knows sit and shake. He walks pretty well on a leash. In order to become a well-behaved adult boxer, he will need reinforcement of the commands he knows and more training. He has no training issues; he is just a typical, distracted, silly, young boxer boy. His ideal home would have another young boxer who loves to play and someone who is home most of the day so that the dogs can play. He does not do well with cats. If you are looking for a young goofy male, Major may just be your dog.

Cami

Hi. My name is Camellia, but you can call me Cami, like all my friends do.  I came to ABR very sick with Parvo, but after spending a lot of time with the vet I am all better.  I do have to wait a little bit to get spayed, but then I will be ready to move in with my forever family.  Here’s a little about me:

I am a sweet, petite boxer girl and I love people.  So far, I haven’t met anyone I don’t like.  Some new experiences make me a little nervous at first, so my foster Mom is making sure I meet lots of different people and do lots of things so I can be the best pup ever and get the best home ever.  I get to take walks, ride in the car and just snuggle on the couch.  Hugging is one of the things I do best!  I’ve met little kids and big kids and liked them both!  Everyone says I have a sweet little Boxer wiggle.  I like being the center of attention, but Mom says she doesn’t want me to get spoiled.  I think it might be too late! 

There are three other dogs in my foster home, I’ve only been able to meet one of them so far, but we are getting along great.  We love to chase each other around in the yard.  I really like playing with the other dogs, but I do need to learn how to share my toys so we are working on that now.  Mom thinks it won’t take me long to figure out, ‘cause I’m just that smart.  I am already crate trained and mostly house trained, and Mom is helping me learn some basic commands too. 

The other day I met the cat in the house. She smelled interesting but not something I think I want to eat.  She hissed at me, so I am trying to avoid her.  

If you like what you’ve read so far and you think I would make a great addition to your family, mention me, Cami, on your application.

Sophie

Hi, my name is Sophie! My foster mom says I’m very sweet and extremely smart! I have had a good deal of training, so I know my commands. My foster mom says that I tend to want to be alpha because I’m so smart, and I’m always looking for ways to assert my alpha rule over others in the household. So my perfect home would have someone who could be a strong alpha for me. I also love to talk, and I REALLY love attention. In fact, I love attention so much that I jump on people and pull on my leash when I meet people, despite my training – but I’m working on that. My foster mom reminds me every day that I have to sit before greeting people. She says this training is also key to getting me to realize I’m not the alpha in my home. My foster mom says I have a good amount of something called puppy playfulness, but I’m not a super hyper puppy. All I know is that I love to play so much, that I make sounds when I play. It seems like my talking can be intimidating for some dogs – so it would be best if my forever home has submissive or easy going dogs to play with me. I have fun playing with all the other dogs in my foster home, and my foster mom says I haven’t had a single accident in the house! (See I am super smart!) I don’t really like the crate, so I may fuss a little at first, but I do eventually calm down. If you think you might be the right alpha to be my new mom or dad, then please mention, SOPHIE on your application!

Brody

Hi everyone! My name is Brody as the sign language says! I am deaf so I am teaching you some sign language like I am learning! I am about a year and a half and have a solid white, really soft coat. The other very unique thing about me is that I have one blue eye and one brown eye. Being deaf doesn’t stop me from doing much though. I just can’t hear you when you call me. My foster mom is working on figuring that one out, but is hoping to get a vibrating (not shocking) collar to get my attention. She has been teaching me sign language signals like sit, lay down, and stay. I love food so training me has been easy with little yummies when I do something well!

I am super energetic and need a family who will be able to keep up with me! I love walks and runs! I even play fetch! I am very smart and curious about everything so I do a lot of sniffing and watching. I have a rather large personality, so I think my fur brothers or sisters should be more submissive.

I have only been in my foster home for a few days, so I will update you more soon. I have to go in for heartworm treatment and get neutered in the coming weeks so I will be ready for my family to adopt me in mid-June.

Please ask about me if you are interested! I will bring a loving, loyal, goofy energy to you home! I promise!

Lily

My name is Lilly and I'm quite the cutie, if I say so myself. I have enough manners to not jump on people or counter-surf and if I need to go potty, you'll know it. I can't hear you when you talk to me but I'm working on learning sign language and I have "sit" pretty much figured out. I've loved all of the people that I've met so far and even like the little dog at my foster parents house. Food is good but what I really love is to be rubbed, especially my belly. I'm not quite ready to go to my forever home yet because I'm recovering from my heartworm treatment but I'll be looking for someone new to rub my belly soon. Maybe you?

Bunny

Best suited for an active home, Bunny is a high energy, sport model Boxer!! She loves playing with other dogs; she is not a fan of cats. With proper conditioning, she'd make a great running partner. Bunny is great in the house - she's housebroken, crate trained, non-destructive and quiet. This sweet girl is fond of everyone she meets and is particularly drawn to men. Sweet Bunny has a little more tongue than she has mouth and she can't hold her licker. Her forever family must have a fondness for Boxer kisses! Found wandering the streets, Bunny wants nothing more than a loving home.

Mush

Hi everyone! My name is Mush! My foster mom says I’m a super sweet boy! My foster home has three other dogs (big and small), and I get along great with all of them! I love to play, and my foster mom says I am quite the clown. I think it’s funny to make her laugh! I just love to play and run around! I love kids too! I really love other dogs, and would enjoy having a fur brother or sister of my very own. I am crate trained and house trained. Don’t I sound like a great little boy? If you think I might be perfect for you, then please mention me, MUSH, on your application!

Stacy

Hi, my name is Stacy. My foster mom says I’m a super sweet and loving girl. I get along great with the other dogs in my foster home. There’s another foster dog like me here, and we just love to play in the yard. My foster mom says I’m pretty skinny, so we will be working on putting some meat on my bones (yay!!). I am crate trained and house trained, and have had ZERO accidents in my foster home. I am a quiet girl, but I may come out of my shell more once I settle in. I am very friendly to everyone, and I just want to be loved. If you think you could love me forever, then please mention STACY on your application!

Sugar Ray

Hi, my name is Sugar Ray! The vet says I may actually be younger than I look, because I’ve had a hard life up until now. You see, my foster mom says I was used as a bait dog for dog fighting. I’m covered in scars and have no upper teeth, but that doesn’t bother my appetite at all! The vet said I’m doing just fine without my upper teeth. You’d never know about my tough past when you meet me, because I’m a happy, happy, HAPPY girl. I love kids – the older ones (> 8years old) that are a little calmer are my favorites. Sometimes the younger ones make me nervous. I do well sleeping in my crate, and I just love being part of a family. I will follow you around, go for walks, sit on the sofa with you, or just snuggle and give little boxer kisses. I sure do love snuggling! Sometimes I go to doggie day care because I get lonely. I would love a home with another dog to keep me company! My boxer wiggle is going non-stop and I look like I’m full of Jell-O! If I sound like a good fit for your family, please mention SUGAR RAY on your application!

Baron

Hi my name is Baron, I’m an almost completely white boxer with some pretty eyeliner! I love to cuddle with my foster mom and I also enjoy being a lap dog even though I’m way too big. I am the most housebroken baby my foster mom has ever met! I love kids and just want to sleep and cuddle but I will also follow you into any room you choose to go. I’m crate trained and probably need to be in a house with someone who is home a little more often because I just love my people. I know how to sit and shake so far but I’m a quick learner and I only want to please my family. I ignore the cat in the house. I get along with the dogs in my house and some other dogs. As is common with young boxer boys like me, I need my exercise. So a fenced in yard or an active family would be great for me. If I sound like your type of boy, please mention Baron!

Bruno

Bruno is a very sweet laid back guy who is very well behaved and concerned with making you happy. He is very curious about cats and small dogs and can appear rather intimidating but he only wants to play and doesn't understand that he is a big boy. He has been taught to stay off of furniture and so prefers to lay next to the couch on the floor. He has a very soft mouth and loves to play with his toys, but doesn't tear or destroy them. He is very well behaved on his leash and in his crate. He never complains about getting in his crate and is very quiet once put in it, and will stay put until told to come out. He is also completely house trained.

Bruno is the sweetest most loving dog anyone could ask for. If he wants attention he will not act up, but will 'sob' softly to let you know he wants some loving. Bruno would be happier in a home where there is a man, but he loves everybody.

Serafina

Hi everyone I am Serafina. I am a small little girl with a huge heart. I came to Atlanta Boxer Rescue after I was found running stray in the streets. All the people that helped me have been so nice and loving. I have never lost trust in my people despite all the hardships I have been through. I have been with my foster family for almost a month and have gained some much needed weight so I can move forward with my heartworm treatment. Over the time in my foster home I have shown my foster family how much I love other dogs, male and female. I am super friendly with every person I meet. I am crate trained and am working on my house training. I am very smart and I love to please. I am still young and I am very much a puppy still. I have a moderate energy level and would do best in a home where I would get exercise daily. I love to play with my foster boxer sisters and I like to play with my stuffed animal toys. I am a good girl looking for my forever home. If I sound like a good fit for your family mention 'Serafina' on your adoption application.

Guinness

Sweet single guy, life of the party, gets along with everyone looking for that special someone to spend the rest of my life with. Hi, I am Guinness. I am an active guy. I love going on long walks, chasing toys, and spending time with you! I love the people and want to please them which makes me a quick study and good at picking up new things. I prefer to be the life of the party. Spending time alone is well, boring. A best friend to spend my time with when I can’t be with you would be best! Thankfully, I love everyone I have met, so that should be easy! I have enjoyed my time playing with the other fur family members. My home does not have any children but I get so excited about meeting people, going outside, playing ball, well, I am just always excited! Sometimes I jump on people. We are working on stopping that but a family with small children might be challenging unless my natural instincts to be careful around tiny humans kicks in. I hang out in my crate when my family does not have time to keep an eye on me so I don’t get myself into trouble. See I am very curious and want to check everything out. I don’t get into trouble, but I do pull every toy out of the toy box, and I like to see what’s in the bottom of the recycling bin! See! There is never a boring moment when you are around me! I would love to meet you and see if we share a special chemistry! If you like Pina Colada’s and would like to meet me, please put Guinness on your application! I am so excited to hear from you, please write soon!

Ford

My name is Ford! I am a sweet brindle boy with lots of angel kisses on my nose looking for my FURever home. I used to have a family, but for some reason they took me to the shelter one day and never came back. Lucky for me ABR is giving me my second shot at love. I am doing well at my foster home and always want to be as close as possible to my foster family. I am a very smart boy and will be glad to show you my tricks...I can sit, lay down, come when I am called, and may even impress you with a good hand shake. It took me a little while to realize that my people would come back for me if they left the house and put me in my crate, but I'm starting to get the hang of it. I am best in my crate when I am tempted with my favorite Kong toy to keep me busy. I love to play with other dogs, but I am young boy and I like to play rough. Sometimes older dogs don't like to be my friend and I don't always understand why they don't want to play. I have these little things that my human friends call heart worms, I don't know what they are but I am getting treatment to make them go away! After they are gone, I will be ready to move in with my new family! If I sound like the boy for you mention FORD on your application.

Bogart

Hi, my name is Bogart! My previous owner passed away and I ended up in Animal Control. I'm so thankful the great people at ABR rescued me. I have been diagnosed with Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy. I know that's a mouth full. It's basically an irregular heartbeat. I have had a follow up ECG done and the medication I am taking is helping tremendously. I will need to continue to take my medication twice daily. Since I've improved on my health so much, the vet says I can be adopted and go to a forever home. My foster mom says I'm a real gentleman and would fit in well with any family. I love being outside and I play frisbee some with my fur brother. Even though I'm slow moving, I can keep up with him pretty well. I love to be with you at all times, so would be best with someone that is able to work from home or a stay at home mom or dad. I walk well on a leash. I do not like the crate, but I do great being left out with my 2 fur brothers and fur sister. If you're looking for a companion that is calm and likes to just hang out, then I'm your fella! Ask for me on you application.

Zoe's Puppies (Thor and Bo are left)

Here are Zoe's puppies! While Zoe is underweight, all six of her puppies are healthy. She had 2 boys and 4 girls. They have had their tails docked, their dew claws removed, and have been microchipped. They will be altered, get their first set of shots, and be ready for adoption by the end of April. They are available to be met and selected now by approved applicants. Thor and Bo are the remainling pups available for adoption!

Zoe

Hey Yall!! My name is Zoe, mommy to 6 adorable puppies and an absolute sweetheart to everyone I meet. You would never guess that I've had a rough past life but I have scars to prove it. I was found in an abandoned house with nobody to care for me. Trust me though, you would NEVER know by my loving personality, I have let go of my past, am working on eating well so I can gain weight, and am ready to move forward to find my perfect FURever home! My foster family says I’m the best behaved and laid back foster they've ever had. A lot of pups have to spend time in the crate when the family leaves but not me! I am most happy lounging out by myself, I have proven that I am not going to terrorize the house and will be waiting to greet you with a wag of my super short nub and even some sweet kisses when you come home. Of course I’d be happiest on a car ride with you! At night I love to sleep on a blanket next to your bed, I hardly even snore! I really am a good girl and know that it’s lady-like to potty outside. Speaking of outside I love it when I am able to lay out in the sun on a nice day or even go for a walk. I am especially good on my leash and you wouldn't even know you had me because I walk right along with you, no pulling. Ok so the only time I stop is when I see people and I will always try to stop in hopes that they will pet me. I would be happiest in a home with my family is home a good bit to spoil me rotten or at least some fur-siblings to play with. I haven’t shown interest in toys yet but that doesn't mean that I’m not a happy girl, I will get the hang of the toys in due time! I am the perfect example of a “Velcro dog” as I stick right beside you as much as possible. I love people of all ages and dogs of all sizes (a 90lb Greyhound is a new friend of mine and I spent the first part of my ABR life in a home with several dogs and my puppies!). I haven’t been too close to those other furry animals called cats but I would probably be just fine. I would fit in with most any family who is lucky enough to have me in their lives. Don’t judge this book by its cover, if you are looking for a super sweet, well behaved girl PLEASE mention ZOE on your application. I promise you won’t be disappointed!

Jolie

Hi, My name is Jolie. I am a beautiful flashy brindle girl with very pretty stockings. Mama was thinking about naming me Pippi for Pippi Longstocking. She decided Jolie fit better because of my adventurous nature. I understand that you are seeking a new member of your family. I think you will find that I am uniquely qualified to meet your needs in that besides being beautiful, I am also intelligent. I love long walks, I am calm and have a healthy prey drive. I am very confident and love to investigate new things. I know the proper place for potty. Mama says I am interested in toys as long as someone is interacting with me. I have been very shy but I am starting to come out of my shell. Mama is teaching me that pulling while on the leash is not good but I just want to check out everything and say hello to everyone on our walks and I forget I have to wait for my human. I AM LEARNING THOUGH! I am learning sit and stay too. I can be vocal when left alone but I do no damage. I am looking for the perfect family and am willing to work hard for the right home! Mama says because of my prey drive, cats may not be a good idea. Because of my curiosity and confidence, it would be best if I go to a family where my human is a strong alpha and submissive canines. Lots of treats, lots of petting, sleeping with my human on the bed or the couch…that all sounds like heaven to me! If you think I could complete your family, would you please consider me for that position and put my name on your application? References provided upon request.

Leo

Leo is a very laid back guy who is happiest with a soft bed or on the couch. His past is unknown as he was found as a stray in South Carolina. It seems he had a home before his life on the street as he is housetrained, although requires a very consistent schedule to be successful. He gets along with other dogs (he has a foster brother and sister) and cats almost all of the time. He isn't fond of a crate, but does well when left out unattended. His leash manners are wonderful and he is working on his basic commands. Leo has issues with skin allergies and we are currently evaluating with a strict food challenge and a skin allergy test scheduled for May. This test will help to pinpoint his specific allergies (food and/or environmental).

Lia

Like many of ABR’s rescues, Lia came in as a stray from animal control. Sadly, she shows signs of a hard life. She had a torn ear that had to be surgically reattached, she has had puppies, and she has a few scars on her body. In true boxer style, Lia’s personality has remained sweet. Lia is an adorable, lean and lanky, flashy fawn girl. Rather than walk, she almost prances. She is very curious and alert. When she hears something new, she cocks her head and furrows her brow. She is a very sweet girl. She likes to be close but not on top of you. She will gently place her head in your lap for a pet or two. She also loves to snuggle. She loves playing with her toys. She likes balls, ropes, antlers. She is very cute when she shakes her head with a rope in it. When she has the ball, she rolls around on her back with the ball in her mouth. If you throw a toy, she will go retrieve it (not sure if she really knows fetch but she likes her toy to be repeatedly thrown :)). She walks well on her easy walk harness. She does have leach frustration. What in the world is that you might say? Well, she is so excited to see other dogs that she pulls and barks. She does not want to hurt them, she just wants to play with them. With a little bit of training, this can be fixed. She is great with the kids. She likes to ride in the car. She does well with all kinds of dogs. She was previously at a boarding facility where she played with all different kinds of dogs several times a day. She knows sit, down, and has a good recall. If you are looking for a happy, sweet girl as a companion for your dog and a fenced in yard for them to play in, Lia would be the perfect choice. Click here to see a video of her.

Baxter

Hi my name is Baxter! I'm super skinny, but my foster mom has been giving me lots of good meals to get some meat on my bones! I'm not sure why I ended up in such rough shape in the shelter, because I'm a really good boy. I'm crate trained and house trained, and I just love to snuggle with my foster mom. I get along great with my foster fur sister and brother. I'm learning that you can chew on these things called toys, and my fur sister has even taught me how to box! Though I usually just roll over and start kicking up in the air - my foster mom laughs every time I do that! :) I've had a couple of fainting spells, so I'm getting checked out to make sure I don't have any other issues. And then I'll hopefully be starting my heartworm treatment soon. If you think you might be interested in me, I promise I'll be worth the wait! Mention BAXTER on your application!
