Albuquerque Boxers - Available

Flash

What's up? I was picked up by someone caring and concerned and called Jumping Jack. For a while I was fostered with a bunch of boxers and got along great! But now my foster dad thinks my name should be Flash. I am a young (under a year) flashy, brindle who gets along with all my foster siblings; runs around the backyard after walking for an hour or more every morning; does not really care when cats run amuck in front of us while out; and, loves everyone (both big and little people). If you are interested in knowing more about me, complete an online application and send an email to BRA asap. I may go really fast, LOL! If you are interested in adopting Flash, please contact us by email. Thank you Steve for fostering Flash!

Rio

Howdy! My name is Rio. I am a high energy one year old adolescent male. My owner decided he didn't want to take me with him to another city. I am so excited to get out of the Valencia County Shelter and into my new forever home. My foster Dad is planning to get me neutered soon and then I'll be ready to go. I have been going non-stop since coming home from the shelter and I'm finally relaxing on some blankets. I am very strong and will need to learn some manners, but I am pretty smart and will learn fast. If you are interested in adopting Rio, please contact us by email. Thank you Doug & Sheryl for fostering Rio!

Oakley

Hello, my name is Oakley and I am about a year old and full of energy. I am full of love and love to play. I am a little on the shy side but once I get to know you we will become best friends. I do well with other dogs and kids. I love to go on walks but I need a little help on the leash. I would love a family to love me and call me their own. If you are interested in me, please complete an online application and send BRA an email. If you are interested in adopting Oakley, please contact us by email. Thank you Robert and the entire family for fostering Oakley!

Milo

My name is Milo. I am young 1-2 yr. old social boy ready for my new home. I quickly settled right into my foster home like I had been there forever. I like being a part of a family. I get along well with people and dogs. I like to say I hang with the big dogs because I am so petite next to my family mates. We do get along fine, but I really like to play with people. I play well alone with squeaky toys and stuffed animals. Sometimes I forget that shoes are not toys too! I listen well and walk very nicely on leash. I seem to have some allergies but now I am on a grain-free diet. I have a good appetite and sit nicely for meals and treats. I stay in my crate during the day and sleep out in the house at night. Only one accident to report, otherwise I go outside like a big boy! I do like to snuggle up with someone on the couch and in bed. I am learning good manners with cats and small pets. I have not been aggressive to them, just very excited to meet them. I know my super cute personality will make me a great addition to a new home. If you are interested in adopting Milo, please contact us by email. Thank you Vicky and Adam for fostering Milo!

Esther

I am a 4 year old female that gets along well with all other dogs and I love to play in the sprinklers. I love toys and I am wonderful with kids. I also walk well on a leash and I am very smart. I can sit, stay and shake on command. I am well behaved around the dinner table and I am trying to watch my weight. If you are interested in adopting Esther, please contact us by email. Thank you Peggy for fostering Esther!

Las Cruces Boxers

Dreamer

This big girl looks like she is mostly English Bulldog with long legs, she tall for a Bulldog and short for a boxer, she is stocky and deep chested, mellow and easy going. She was taken in with another one who looks like her daughter. When we took her out of the run for pictures she was uncertain of all that was happening. We need a kind soul to foster these girls. If you are interested in adopting or fostering Dreamer, please contact Lesa and complete our new online application. Thank you Lesa for fostering Dreamer!

Starry

This is the other English Bulldog/ Boxer girl she seems a bit younger than Dreamer, perhaps she is her daughter. She was even more shy and uncertain of all the chaos at the shelter. Both girls are sweet and calm and easygoing. It would be best for them if they could stay together to reassure each other. If you are interested in adopting or fostering Starry, please contact Lesa and complete our new online application. Thank you Lesa for fostering Starry!

Murray

This is Murray, he is a young male 1-1/2 to 2 we think, he is a happy boy and wants to be petted and scratched on his hip. He loves to nibble on you and play with your feet. He has a long tail and is as cute as he can be. If you are interested in adopting or fostering Murray, please contact Lesa and complete our new online application. Thank you Lesa for fostering Murray!

Jimbo

This baby is all boy and has some manners, he is not very big and is getting along fine with Sarge and Zoom the boxers and Jose the Chihuahua in the yard. He is NOT good with cats and wants to chase them. He was lost and no one came to find him. He has been good with all the kids and does not jump up and is very tolerant of all the kids do. We think he is 2-3 years old. Not too crazy like a puppy but still full of fun and playfulness. If you are interested in adopting or fostering Jimbo, please contact Lesa and complete our new online application. Thank you Lesa for fostering Jimbo!

Daisey D

Daisey D is an owner surrender because she was digging, the poor girl had no shelter or much shade, and it has been 90 or more degrees, of course she was trying to get cool! She had been very shy and quiet here, she is in the yard with Buddy and Aspen and they all get along fine. Daisey D is a smaller girl very sweet and gentle. I think she may be about 3 years old or so. By the way there has been no digging here! If you are interested in adopting or fostering Daisey D, please contact Lesa and complete our new online application. Thank you Lesa for fostering Daisey D!

Aspen

Hello, this is Aspen. She is a 3-1/2 year old female that is being housed in Las Cruces but needs a new home. Her owner can no longer keep her due to her work schedule. She is in a yard with 3 other boxes and gets along just fine but she is a little shy and needs a place of her own. She is lovable, affectionate and great with children. She loves to shake hands and sit close to you…loves the attention. She is a fast learner and already knows how to stay, sit, and walk on a leash with no problem. If you are interested in fostering or adopting Aspen, please contact Lesa and complete our new online application. If you can help out with Aspen please let us know!

Smokey

This is Smokey, he was an owner surrender claiming deployment. He will be 1 year old 5/22/10. He is a tall boy and very skinny with lots of scars and patches of hair missing. We are hoping with some love and care he will put on some weight and heal more. He is a sweetie and a lover. He knows sit and does ok on the leash. He is high energy and will need an active buddy. He is a very wiggly boy and does donut dog all the time. He gets along with all the foster dogs here young, old, male and female. If you are interested in adopting Smokey, please contact Lesa and complete our new online application. Thank you Lesa for fostering Smokey!

Koda

Hi, my name is Koda. I am a sweet fawn boxer who is 8 years old. I have lived with a blue heeler my entire life and I am very friendly. I like children and any human that will give me attention. I like dog bones to keep my teeth clean and love to go on walks. I would still be at home, but my owner died suddenly and now I need to find someone who will care for me. If you are interested in adopting Koda, please contact Cathy. If you can help me, please contact Cathy Hill @ 702.417.7968!

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