IMPORTANT INFORMATION, please read:
Please think before you apply to adopt a Boxer. We rarely have dogs who will slot into a new family without you noticing. Boxers are, by their nature, bouncy, inquisitive and boisterous. They thrive on being with people. They want to be with you, whatever you are doing. But they also need to understand that they don’t have to be constantly demanding your attention, or protecting you from danger. This is where you have to put in the work at the beginning to reap the rewards later. Rescuing a Boxer is not an easy pastime!
It might not take long for a rescue dog to adapt to its new home and settle in, as if they’ve been there forever. On the other hand, it might take a longer time. There is no guarantee either way, and there is also no way of predicting how quickly this will happen. If you are not able to spare the time to help the dog adjust, then please think carefully before you offer to take a rescue Boxer.

MILO
AREA: Hertfordshire | ADOPTION FEE: £400 |
10 months old | Male Boxer | Red with Black Mask, bob-tail
Milo is looking for a new home as his current owner is no longer able to keep him due to ill health. Milo is a young boy and will need ongoing training on the lead, around other dogs and greeting people. He can jump up and be boisterous so we would not home him with young children. He will chase cats and has not lived with them or any other dogs. He is friendly with dogs when out but can get excited and be boisterious. He can lunge on the lead and bite the lead when excited but is correctable. He has not been left much, but is ok for short-periods. He travels well in the car. He will definitely need help with his recall. He can dig in the garden, so don't apply if you have a pristine lawn and don't leave your reading glasses laying around! Ideal Home for Milo:
Milo is a gorgeous young boy with character and will be a lovely member of the family in the right home that can provide what he needs. If you feel that home is yours, please contact us. NOTES: Milo will need to be neutered once old enough and once settled in his new home (HCBW will cover the cost for this) - this is a condition of his adoption. CONTACT: reach out to [email protected] by email if you would like to register your interest in offering Milo a home. |
BOSCO
|
18 months old | Male Boxer | Red with Black Mask
Bosco is a beautiful boy and whilst he has been in his previous home his boisterous behaviour, jumping up, especially at women, has much improved with on-going training. He is strong outside on the lead and will need continued training. Bosco has come back into us because he has attacked two other small dogs at his home, there have now been 3 incidents and we are therefore looking for a home for Bosco where he is the only pet as he cannot live with other small animals. Bosco was living with an older female Boxer who he has not had any issues with, however, we do feel that Bosco would benefit from a dog-free home. Bosco has recently been neutered and we expect his hormones will still be settling for the next 2 to 3 months. This could have had an impact on the recent attacks on the smaller dogs, or it could be that he just does not get on with smaller dogs and therefore for safety, he should not live with or stay in home where there are visiting smaller dogs or pets. He's a big hearted, loveable, strong boy who needs an experienced, confident handler and we are sure he would thrive in a calm home environment. Ideal Home for Bosco:

BILLY
NOTES: Billy will need to be neutered once settled in his new home (HCBW will cover the cost for this) - this is a condition of his adoption. A satisfactory home-check will apply.
CONTACT: Karen Kerby [email protected] by email or phone on 07712 669707. AREA: West Northamptonshire | ADOPTION FEE: £300 |
5 years old | Male Boxer | Red & White with Black mask
Billy is a lovely boy who can be a bit nervous around new people, but with a little time and patience he is more than happy to have a play and a fuss. He has lived happily with young children, but he does need to be in a home where someone can be around most of the time, as he can become anxious when he's left alone. He’s a surprisingly strong boy, despite his smaller size. He will pull towards people and occasionally react to dogs while on the lead. His new family will need to be comfortable managing this and be committed to helping him work through his anxieties. HCBW will provide ongoing support and behavioural guidance to help him settle. Billy needs to be the only dog in the household. Ideal home for Billy:

SULLY
Sully has waited so long and has so much love to give. If you’re looking for a loyal, gentle companion, Sully could be the perfect match. He is not so keen on other dogs, but he loves people! Please share to help him find his forever family before his 5th birthday!
CONTACT: reach out to [email protected] by email or phone on 01508 218 471 if you would like to register your interest in offering Sully a home.
AREA: Norfolk | ADOPTION FEE: TBA |
4.5 years old | Male Boxer Cross | White with Black markings
Sully has spent over 365 days waiting patiently in foster care, hoping every day that his forever family will find him. ❤️ Despite his long wait, Sully remains a happy, hopeful boy with a heart full of love. He’s an easy-going companion who has everything a great family dog could offer—gentle with children, good with people, and even a master of leash manners! Sully enjoys both the excitement of a walk and the calm of a cozy evening on the couch. He walks beautifully on a lead, making outings enjoyable and stress-free, and he takes treats with the softest, most polite touch. At home, he’s perfectly content and can be left alone for up to 4 hours without any trouble. In fact, he sleeps soundly all night on his favorite spot on the sofa. While Sully is an affectionate and gentle soul, he is happiest as the only pet in the house, and he would do best in a quiet, country setting. Other dogs make him nervous, so he needs a home where he can enjoy peaceful walks without too much hustle and bustle. Sully is neutered, fully vaccinated, and travels well in the car, making him all set to start a new chapter with a loving family. Ideal Home for Sully:
