Several visits may be required before dogs are released, particularly when there are children, other dogs and/or cats in the household. Precautions are always taken to ensure compatibility with children and pets. All immediate family members are expected to meet with the chosen Boxer before the dog goes home. Where there is another dog in the household, introductions are performed at our facility, usually on the second visit. Where there is a cat in the household, we will cat-test the dog.

SEVERAL IMPORTANT FACTS:

We do not place Boxers outside our operating area. We primarily place in areas within reasonable driving distance from Ringwood, IL. These areas include Chicago and the surrounding suburbs. WI residents please contact Green Acres Boxer Rescue. We absolutely do not place dogs in distant states.

We require securely fenced yards for the majority of our Boxers. Invisible brand underground fences are acceptable. We seldom place our dogs in apartments, condos or townhomes. Exceptions may be made when we feel we have Boxers suitable for those environments.

Our adoption contract has a provision requiring that the adopted Boxer be returned to us should the adoption prove unsuccessful for any reason. Adopted Boxers may not be transferred to any other party.

Complete the adoption application and email it to Boxers@boxerrebound.com. If you prefer, you may mail it to the address listed on the application itself. When we receive it a volunteer will call to answer questions and arrange a visit.
