COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS
After reading all the information on Boxer's as a breed you and your family have decided to take the next step. Now what?
Here are some answers to your questions:
What is the process?: After you fill out an application, one of our volunteers in your area will contact you to set up a home visit.
- You must be at least 21 years old
- Please familiarize yourself with the breed if you've never owned a Boxer before and be sure that they are the right choice of breed for you, as the Boxer is a different breed of dog. Is the Boxer right for you?
- If your application is accepted, you will be contacted by a volunteer for a home visit.
- We then come to your home and do a home visit and meet your family and learn about your family dynamics and what type of dog will be a good fit.
- If all goes well, we will then match a dog to your family. Then after signing an adoption contract and paying the relevant adoption fee you can welcome your new family member!
Why is a home visit necessary?: This has nothing to do with judging a home, but more for getting a feel for how your house works and what type of boxer will fit perfectly. Family dynamics are so important to making adopting a dog successful. This gives us an opportunity to answer any questions or concerns. By doing this we are able to get a feel for the neighborhood you live in, get an idea about your kids and their knowledge of dogs, to meet your cat and its nature, to meet your resident dog and what they would like and not like in their environment. This is an opportunity for a meet and greet and having a volunteer help you to be successful.
What is the adoption fee?: Our adoption fee's vary depending upon the adoption. Please speak to your RESCUE A BOXER volunteer for more information.
