My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

PUPDATE 9.16.23

Ferguson here checking in from MNBR. My Foster mom likes to call me Fergs, Fergie, Ferg, I don’t care because I can’t hear her as longs as she doesn’t call me late for dinner. I really don’t like it when other dogs walk up on me from behind me. Because I can’t hear them coming this tends to scare me and I can react. I love food and have some food and attention aggression. If I think another furbaby is getting more than me, I can get jealous. It says I should be in a home as an only dog; however, I have been living with a foster brother for about a month and doin’ pretty well. As long as you keep your eyes on me and know my signs, I think I could live with another fursibling. I love to cuddle and give love. When you start petting me, I will not let you go until I am ready. I will let know this by a couple of friendly barks AKA reminders.

As my foster from Kentucky said I love to play, and I have been having a great time with my foster brother. I haven’t really been interested in toys, but this could change. Sometimes I get so excited I become an ankle biter, but if you grab my attention, I know I need to calm down.

I was able to make it to Forrest’s Garage Sale and meet a lot of new people. I did really good. I got to meet a couple kids and was a perfect gentleman!! I love going for rides, and do great in cars. I have the “lean” down while going around corners:) My Foster mom thinks this is funny.

Jaymi Heimbuch once said “Every white hair is one day of experience in being the very best friend you’ve ever had.” I got a lot of them and ready to be YOUR BEST FRIEND!!!

NEW TO RESCUE 8.18.23

I've been in foster care in Kentucky while I wait for my ride to MNBR. I'm the sweetest, goofy fellow who just wants to be loved and cuddled. I dance when I'm excited! I need to be the only dog. I get jealous with sharing attention. I would love playdates and walks with friends though! I don't do well with the cats - I tend to chase them. I'm free roam and fully housetrained. I like to play with toys! I do get into the garbage every once in a while. I will counter surf because I'm very food motivated. I love to snuggle in need with you. I would do best with a fenced yard. I'm good with kids, but respectful kids of course. I'm perfect on a leash.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Our adoption process consists of:

I. Completing an Adoption Application

II. Veterinarian and Personal Reference Check

III. Home Visit

IV. Adoption Fee

I Completing an Adoption Application
We screen potential adopters very carefully in order to find the best possible match for both you and our foster dogs. All adoptions are expected to be lifetime commitments!

You must be a Minnesota resident, and at least 21 years old.

All existing pets in your home must be up to date on all vaccinations, and must be-spayed/neutered (no boxers will be placed into homes known to have intact companion animals.)

We require that you complete the entire application including the contact name/ phone number of veterinarian, and personal references.

We as volunteers would like to observe the interaction of the Boxer child/children together.

We will disclose all known behaviors, health or emotional issues to applicant prior to adoption.

Fenced yard is required to adopt a deaf dog.

II Veterinarian and Personal Reference Check
Once your references are checked, a volunteer will contact you to discuss potential matches and to schedule a home visit.

III. Home Visit
The purpose of the home visit is to inspect the surroundings in which our foster dogs will live, meet all household family members, address any major concerns, and get to know you better. (We are not at your home to pass judgment on your housekeeping skills.)

During 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)

IV. Adoption Fee
Our adoption fee is based on the age and health of our dogs. The fee can range from $200 - 450.00, with $350 being the average. We will not negotiate adoption fees. This is not a "sale" but a fee that enables us to continue to help more Boxers in the future.

Your adoption fee covers:

Physical veterinarian exam
Neuter/Spay
Rabies
DHLPP
Heartworm Test and preventative meds
Fecal Test and any necessary worming
Bordetella
Microchip implant
Any other treatment deemed necessary by our vet

As you can see, our adoption fee covers numerous expenses. Your potential new Boxer will be
covered for all necessary inoculations for the first year. We will provide copies of all services rendered while the Boxer has been in rescue.

Please visit our website at http://www.mnboxerrescue.org to complete an adoption application and begin the process.

Go meet their pets

MN Boxer Rescue is 100% foster based. We do not have a shelter or central location where dogs are housed. Visit the events page on our website to find out about our meet and greet events.

More about this rescue

When Boxers are in need, Minnesota Boxer Rescue dedicated volunteers respond. Our mission includes hands-on rescue, as well as education.

Many of our beautiful Boxers have had a very "ruff" start, for various reasons, please be assured that we have dedicated ourselves to helping as many of these dogs as we possibly can.

When a dog comes into our rescue program they are examined by our vet, brought up to date on vaccines, heart worm tested, (placed on heart worm preventive medication) and fecal tested. All dogs are spayed/neutered prior to adoption. We evaluate each Boxer's personality and temperament, so he/she can be placed in the best home suited for that dog.
