Boxer puppies and dogs in Barrington, New Jersey

Frost is a beautiful young white Boxer with so much love to give. We do believe she is deaf, which can make the shelter an especially scary and confusing place for such a sweet girl.Despite that, Frost remains incredibly kind, soft, and trusting. She has a calm, gentle nature and just wants to feel safe and loved. She can go home with kids, making her a wonderful candidate for a family ready to give her the patience and understanding she deserves.Because of her hearing impairment, a securely fenced yard is strongly recommended for her safety, and someone with deaf dog experience—or a willingness to learn—is highly encouraged. Frost will need a home that can help guide her with consistency, compassion, and love.She is a special girl who deserves a family that sees how amazing she truly is. Frost is ready to leave the shelter behind and start the happy, secure life she has been waiting for.

Max is a sweet senior Boxer mix who recently found himself at the shelter after being surrendered. At his age, this gentle old man should be spending his days curled up on a comfy bed, enjoying treats and soaking up love—not waiting behind kennel doors for a second chance.Despite all the changes in his life, Max remains a kind, loving boy with a heart of gold. He doesn`t ask for much—just a soft place to rest, a family to call his own, and someone willing to show him the love he deserves.Max is looking for a way out of the shelter and into a home where he can enjoy his golden years surrounded by comfort and companionship. Could you be the one to give this sweet old man the happy ending he`s been waiting for?

Hey there! I'm Bart, a 1-year-old Boxer mix who arrived at the shelter as a stray on June 1st. I'm ready to leave the shelter behind for good and find my forever home! I'm a little shy here in the shelter but I'm hoping to find an active family soon, with owners who can match my enthusiasm and zest for life. I've met another dog here during my time at the shelter, and we said "hi" to each other but I'm still nervous and wasn't quite ready for playtime yet. If you have a doggo at home already, I'm happy to meet them at the shelter prior to adoption to see if we get along! I recently got to spend a day at Art City Vets where their team took great care of me and got me all neutered so I'm ready to be adopted! And I'm pretty sure I overheard them say I was their best patient EVER. (Okay, maybe they say that to all the dogs, but I was a really good boy!) Want to meet me? Stop by ACCT Philly and say hi! Open every day from 10am to 6pm.
