Albuquerque Boxers - Available

Pepper

Pepper is a crazy, young female (about 1.5 years old).  She is a highly energetic and very dominant girl though - more of a tomboy type of personality.  She loves Kacey when she goes to the BRA events and gets along just fine with her male foster sibling. She doesn't like other dogs snapping at her much so she would be better with a high energy male or a single dog. Send us an email to find out more about her. Thank you Doug and Sheryl for fostering Pepper!

Kimba

Kimba is good looking female 5 to 6 year old who was picked up at the Farmington shelter.  She is doing great with her 4 boxer friends - but cats are a no go! She is coming out of her shell & is very loving & starting to play with the other dogs - blood work is ok - negative on heartworm but she needs to be spayed. She needs to go to a home with 6 ft fence or to somebody who will be with her all day as she will jump the 5 ft fence & come to her foster dad's shop.  She does not want to be left out; rides in car very well & is learning to mind off leash (loving her walks).  What a great boxer girl!!!!!!!!!!! She is calm and will play but prefers to be at your side and just hang out with you all day.  Send us an email to find out more about her. Thank you Stanley for fostering Kimba!

Coco

Coco is a 2-3 year old fawn who was surrendered to the shelter with an eye issue.  As you can see, she lost her right eye and is healing up just fine.  She had a few problems being introduced to her foster siblings but is starting to come around. If you are interested in adopting Coco, please contact us by email. Thank you Doug and Sheryl for fostering Coco!

Tillie

Tillie is a very clam, older female (about 4.5 years old).  She was used as a breeding dog and really did not have much interaction with her owner.  She is definitely coming around with her personality and is look for someone who just wants a loyal, caring companion. If you are interested in adopting Tillie, please contact us by email. Thank you Ken and Terri for fostering Tillie!

Pippie

Pippie (Longstocking) is a high energy 6 month old female.  She loves to run a lot and will do it even when the other dogs don't want to play. If you are interested in adopting Pippie, please contact us by email. Thank you Ken and Terri for fostering Pippie!

Tyco and Lego

Tyco and Lego are 6 week old puppies and will be ready for adoption the week of February 20th.  They are learning how to play with the big dogs and have been getting better at the potty training (especially Lego).  Tyco is a little shy at forst but he has come to signal his foster dad as to when he wants to be held. If you are interested in adopting Tyco or Lego, please contact us by email. Thank you Steve for fostering Tyco and Lego!

Kacey

Kacey is a 7 month old female.  She is high energy, very playful and learning to walk on a leash and potty outside.  She eats as much as she can as many times as she can.  She loves people and other dogs (especially playing very rough with Mitzie and Milan - her other foster sibling).  Today she is pulling out the toilet brushes and using them as toys.  And while her foster dad yells at her, she just completely ignores him.  Did we mention that she is deaf? If you are interested in adopting Kacey, please contact us by email. Thank you Steve for fostering Kacey!

Buster

Buster is the sweetest guy in the world!  He is about 1 to 1 1/2 years old and just spent 12 days in the hospital having a neck abscess drained and starting treatment for both heartworm and ehrlichia.  The vet says he has a good prognosis for a complete recovery if he carefully follows a strict medical regimen over the next few months.  But now he needs a new permanent and loving home. If you are interested in adopting Buster, please contact us by email. Thank you Lobo Canyon Camp for fostering Buster!

Please fill out the adoption form if you're interested in any of our dogs AND send an email to us for a quick response!

Las Cruces Boxers

Brutus

Hi there, this is Brutus, he is about 5 years old. Taller handsome boy with the most beautiful manners. He knows sit, down, stay and walks politely on the leash. He is already neutered and chipped, but the info is out of date. It's a shame someone took such good care of him and we can'treunite them. Seems to get along with other dogs fine. He weighs about 65 pounds and should really gain a few pounds. If you are interested in adopting Brutus, please contact us by email. Thank you Jan and Tony for fostering Brutus!

Pumpkin

This little girl, Pumpkin, was dumped in the overnight cages at the shelter with a horrendous leg injury, looks like she was caught in a leg trap. She is doing much better today and is going to a foster home who will give her the special nursing she needs to heal. In spite of all that she is a happy tail wager and loves meeting everyone. She has a great appetite too, which is fine cause she needs to gain a few pounds, she is so little she weighs only 32 pounds.  If you are interested in adopting Pumpkin, please contact us by email. Thank you Lesa for fostering Pumpkin!

Dozer

Welcome Dozer!  He was found wandering in the desert near White Sands Missle Range, starving and injured. Dozer went to the vet recently to have her look at his neck wounds and general wellness check. He is very anemic, but tested negative for erlichia and heartworm. He has very swollen lymph glands and so is on Clavamox for 2 weeks. He weighs 54 pounds and should be 60-65 pounds. He is eating well. If you are interested in adopting Dozer, please contact us by email. Thank you Lesa for fostering Dozer!

George

Hi there, this is George, he is about 2 or so and weighs about 60 pounds; he is very affectionate and playful; but dominant. He seems to be ok with the cats, but has started to put a paw on them like he is checking that they are still alive. Under supervision he has been good with them, but caution is always recommended. He has been playing with a border collie puppy and does fine, but has started getting too rough with the other male boxer. He sits well and likes to climb into your lap and give kisses. Please contact us by email for George. Thank you Raymond for fostering George!

Bella

This is Bella, who is approximately 2 years old. She is an English Bulldog-Boxer mix. She has lost some weight and weighs about 70 pounds now and could use to lose a few more pounds. She is friendly with those who have been approved, and playful with the other dogs and is good around small children. She is very protective and barks at people that come too close to the car, or come in the yard. She is afraid of medium sized kids, fly swatters and some men, so she has not led a life that makes her feel totally secure. She is doing better and relaxing, but it will be ongoing work for a while. If you are interested in adopting Bella, please contact us by email. Thank you Lesa for fostering Bella!

Alamogordo Boxers

But they are now having some health issues so they need to find him a new home.  He is already neutered and is house trained.  He is 7 years old and is a really good dog good with other dogs and cats and good with kids.  He really just wants to lounge around and be loved on. If you are interested in adopting Wumpie, please contact us by email. Thank you Kyle for fostering Wumpie!

For Adoption by Owner - Disclaimer

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 Max, Missy, Guera, Camber, Murphy, Holly, Matilda and Milo have all found new homes while Buffy is back in her original home!
