Albuquerque Boxers

Roxy

Hi! My name is Roxy and my foster Dad calls me “Foxy-Roxy”. I am a very good girl. A little on the skinny side, although I am now getting fed on a regular basis and loving every meal; my foster Mom thinks I’ll fill out in no time. Being that I am about a year old, I love to play with my toys and my foster sister Cheyenne. My favorite pastime at the moment is chewing on raw hides! I am affectionately referred to as a snuggle-bug and love to smother my foster family in kisses. I just know I can be a great addition to any family and I am looking for a family who with love me and all the kisses I have to offer! Please, please ask about me! Roxy is currently on a test drive!

Harley

Hi, my name is Harley. If you're interested, let someone know! Harley is currently on a test drive!

Soju

Hi, my name is Soju; a sweet boxer that was placed in the care of the shelter within a couple of days of giving birth to 6 puppies. When I arrived there, I was not too happy and made many of the workers nervous. But, once Boxer Rescue came, I perked up. Finally, I went home with my foster dad who took me and the bunch home. Since then, I have been trying to get healthy and make sure that my babies were also healthy. Unfortunately, one of my boys (Choco - short for Chocolate) had pneumonia and didn't make it. So, now there are 4 girls and 1 boy. All were named after coffees since they were dark colored for the first couple of weeks. Now, I like to play with my foster siblings when I am away from the pups; but I do have to keep feeding them on a regular basis. I have opened up enough that the other dogs in the house can get near them and help me get them a little more socialized. Once they are ready for adoption, then it will be my turn. I like to walk, play with toys and be rough with the other dogs. My availability will be sometime in late June or early July. If you are interested though, let BRA know so I will find the perfect home. Thanks Steve for fostering Soju and her puppies!

Caracol

I am Cara, the one that likes to just hang out. Once I am done playing, I go off into my corner and pass out. But, I do like to play when the time comes. Thanks Steve for fostering Cara!

Djimah

My name is Djimah and I am the next smallest of the bunch. I like to play rough and wrestle with my brother a lot. But, I also like to be held and cuddle with everyone. Thanks Steve for fostering Djimah!

Santos

My name is Santos and I am surrounded by girls. That means that I have to be more of a boy and wiggle out of everything; that is why it took me longer to get used to my foster dad. But, now I like to be held and even cuddle. Thanks Steve for fostering Santos!

Mocha

Hey, I am Mocha, the biggest girl of the bunch and the heartiest eater. I like to be held and hang out with the big dogs; so, sometimes I howl to be picked up. Thanks Steve for fostering Mocha!

Arabica

I am Arabica. I happen to be the smallest of all the rest. But, I can really eat when I want to. I like to hang out with anyone that comes into the pen and I will find a place (almost immediately) to sleep on you when you do come in. Thanks Steve for fostering Arabica!

Baja

Hello, my name is Baja. I was transferred from the Las Cruces Shelter to the Albuquerque Shelter only to find out that I have heartworm. I will be heading to the clinic on Monday to get treatment and expect a full recovery. I am 2 years old and I really want to play, but my foster Mom won't let me since I was just neutered on 4/22. I am current on all my shots and I am really feeling good. I just had a bath and was treated for ticks, so I'm struttin' my stuff. My foster Mom has promised extra goodies so I can put on about 10 pounds. Right now I only weigh about 63 pounds, which is way too skinny for me. Although it will take about 30 days to be treated for heartworm, if you're interested make sure you let someone know today! Thanks Shawna and Matt for fostering Baja!

Dempsey

My name is Dempsey for (Jack Dempsey) the Irish Boxer. I am about 8 years old and very easy going. I love hanging around the house with my foster sister Cheyenne and playing with my favorite squeaky toy. See it in the picture with me? I follow my foster Mom everywhere. Where ever she goes I’m right there in case she needs a cuddle or a kiss. You could probably describe me as a couch potato, although I love to go for walks and enjoy shopping for toys and treats. It doesn’t phase me at all when other dogs want to come up to me and say hello. I would love to find a home where I can get smothered with hugs and kisses all day long! Dempsey is currently on a test drive!

Alfie

Hi! My name is Alfie (for all legs and feet) I was really skinny when my foster mom first picked me up from the shelter in Los Lunas. I had gotten sick after a tick bit me. I needed a blood transfusion and lots of antibiotics. Thanks to my hero- Dr. Neal I am healthy again. I will have to take a thyroid pill once a day from now on, but it isn’t expensive and my foster mom just puts it in my food. My favorite toy is my squeaky football although I recently discovered how much fun tennis balls are. I love to cuddle on the sofa with my foster sister Cheyenne. My foster mom tells me how handsome I am and I love when she smothers me with hugs and kisses. I always use my dog door to go potty outside and love going on walks. Alfie is currently on a test drive!

Atlas

Hi, my name is Atlas although I was formerly known as Merlin. My foster dad named me this because it represents "one who sustains great burdens." I have a ways to go before I am available because I am taking a few meds (mostly to help me gain back much needed weight). But, I have a healthy appetite and want to play with my foster siblings; but, I need to increase my strength and still be checked out completely. I am somewhere between 5 and 7 years old, but can't really remember (it's not too important to me either). If you want a great friend or just want to help out, contact BRA ASAP. Atlas has been adopted!

Panchito aka Pancho

Hi my name is Panchito (toasted peanut). I am a male Boxer mix about a year old. I came to Albuquerque from Deming Animal Control. I have just been neutered and my tail has been docked. I am obviously a Boxer mix, but the more I hang around my foster brothers and sisters the more I am learning how to become a Boxer! I was pretty skinny when I first arrived but I am at my ideal weight of about 60 lbs. Being only a year old I am still very much a puppy and will need a good pack leader. If you are interested, contact one of our folks at BRA. Thanks Doug and Sheryl for fostering Pancho!

Please fill out the adoption form if you're interested in any of our dogs!

Las Cruces Boxers

Ariel

Ariel is about 13 months old, in fact her birthday is April 1! She is still very much a puppy. If anyone is getting petted, it's going to be her. She is learning to not jump up on you for attention, but that is a new lesson for her. She will also look around on the counter top and table to see what you are doing, but has not taken anything. She is a bit uncertain of all the new things and rules, but has been playing with Belle and Ameera. She's sociable and curious and full of energy, she just needs a bit of training to make her a great pet for any family. If you are interested in Ariel please contact our Las Cruces connection. Thank you Lesa for fostering Ariel!

Ameera

Here is Ameera. She is about 3 years old. She is sweet, calm, accepting, mellow, but still interested in a bit of playing. She has a bump on her side and is a bit under weight so we will check her prior to adoption. She will not be placed in a home with small dogs. She is good with kids, lived with 3 cats and 2 birds besides 2 other large dogs and she got along fine with. She fit right in with my 3 and when I left this morning she and Belle and Ariel were playing in the yard. If you are interested in Ameera please contact our Las Cruces connection. Thank you Lesa for fostering Ameera!

Shelter Boxers

Dulce

Hello from Aztec! I have another one! Her name is Dulce and she's a sweetie. She's 2.5 years old and was a signover. Her mom worked a lot and didn't have enough time for her. She says she's a little dominant with other females, but it has never escalated. If you are interested in Dulce please contact the Aztec Animal Shelter.

Duke

The shelter staff named me DUKE and I am a male, brindle and white Boxer. I have been available for adoption since Apr 27, 2008. The shelter thinks I am about 3 years old. I have been at the shelter since Apr 22, 2008. If you are interested in Duke please click the image in order to call or email Westside Animal Services here in Albuquerque.

For Adoption By Owner

Maya

Here is Maya - a boxer/pit mix that was found abandoned at a gas station up north here in New Mexico. It looked like she had been wearing a chain around her neck. She is about 2-3 years old, spayed and up to date on shots. She appears to be very good with kids and JUST LOVES TO BE LOVED! Her foster mom has about 15 other rescues and wants Maya to have the home she deserves - one with love and attention. Maya has been diagnosed with rickets and is on a calcium supplement. We know that Maya's forever home is waiting for her, so please contact Gail at 505-586-0010 to find out more, or you can also contact Boxer Rescue. Northern New Mexico Friends of Animals

Kodi & Apache

This is Kodi (top) and Apache (bottom), brothers from the same litter. They are current on all of their shots and very healthy as well. They are about 3 1/2 years old and are not neutered. They enjoy being outdoors and going for walks. They both really love people and kids and are very playful. They are not very good with other adult dogs, but may be with a puppy. They both love to hang out with me in the afternoon and at night they like to sleep on my bed. They have been together their whole lives, and if possible, I would like to keep it that way. I understand that it might be a little difficult, but I would like to see them stay together. Kodi is a little more hyper than his brother, but not so much that it is overbearing. Apache has always been the calmer of the two. He has a kind of laid back attitude and loves to cuddle. If you are interested in Kodi and/or Apache, please contact Charles by email or by phone 575-430-1227!

BRA almost always has a lack of foster homes, and therefore regretfully cannot serve every single Boxer dog in New Mexico who is displaced. We devised this page as a way for the public to be notified of additional Boxer dogs in need, but BRA does not get involved with behavior evaluations, health checks, vaccinations, etc. You, as the adopter, must understand from the family and the dog's records, what health or behavioral issues may exist. Boxer Rescue of Albuquerque does not charge a fee to the family to list the dog here or to the adopter who "adopts" the dog. We do not advocate offering pets for free, but it is ultimately up to each individual family whether they will charge a fee to the new person acquiring the dog (it's best for the dog if s/he comes with a fee because it helps to weed out people who acquire unwanted pets for use in dog fighting rings or who sell to animal testing facilities, etc.). Though the Boxers on this page remain with their families and do not enter our rescue program, we still care very much about the dog's well being and fate. That is why we allow descriptions to be posted here, in hopes that we can help a Boxer find a better home than if the family were to just give the dog away or take him or her to a shelter.

Our FABO dogs Missy, Guera, Camber, Murphy and Milo have all found new homes!
