What if you want a Boxer, but cannot stomach the thought of housebreaking, chewed up shoes and boundless puppy energy' Have you ever heard of Boxer rescue' These organizations provide loving care (and sometimes rehabilitation) to an adult Boxer, not a boxer puppy when they have been surrendered by their owners, found abandoned or rescued from harmful situations.

Too many people get a Boxer puppy for the wrong reasons and thankfully there are rescue organizations to take these dogs into their homes and provide care until a forever family can be found.

Now, this is not to say that rescue dogs are perfect, just that with a little love and care these can be the best companion you may ever have. Many a rescue volunteer has been so touched by a Boxer moving through the rescue system that they are impacted forever.

1. No housebreaking! In fact, most rescue volunteers do their best to ensure the dogs are housebroken and know some basic commands. You will be able to find an adult, rather than a boxer puppy.

2. Rescue/Adult Boxers are usually past the chewing stage. Just be sure to provide plenty of appropriate chew toys.
