BOXER SPOTLIGHT: PACE

Hi! My name is Pace! I am a large, handsome 1 year old fawn boy that is on the hunt for my forever home! Nothing is known about my history, but that is behind me and I'm thriving in my foster home! I am a goofy, loving, playful boy that takes direction very well! I am your typical boxer boy that has high bursts of energy, but will quickly calm down and nap after. I am house trained, crate trained, doggy door trained, and know basic commands! I am easy to kennel and actually love being in it. I will whine and bark but quickly calms down and am getting even better when kenneling on routine. I am obsessed with the humans and love cuddling! I am learning to play with toys and so far I haven't made any magically explode! There is a female resident dog and after a slow intro, we get along well! I have not had the opportunity to meet other dogs beside the resident dog, so I am reactive to other dogs when on leash or on the opposite side of the fence. I am a very strong and playful boy that enjoys spending my spare time chasing squirrels. I enjoy it so much that I unintentionally and accidentally broke the fence jumping at one...oops! If you are looking for a handsome fun boy to join your family, look no further! Contact the rescue today and tell them you want to meet Pace because I am waiting to meet you!

BOXER SPOTLIGHT: LANE

Lane is an owner surrender looking for a new home.

Hi! My name is Lane! I am a handsome 9-week-old boy (approx DOB 4/25/2025) that is an owner surrender due to being born in my current home and they cannot keep me. I am described as friendly, active, smart, noisy, playful, and affectionate! I am said to be dog friendly, but I have never lived with a cat so it is uncertain if I am feline friendly. I live with two kids (ages 8 and 12 years) and do well with them! I am a puppy with puppy tendencies and would need assistance with house training manners in my forever home. I am crate trained and at night I sleep in my crate. If the owners must be away, I am fine by myself as long as I am let outside to go to the bathroom first. When outside I have good behavior and do not dig or attempt to jump fences/ gates. Some of my favorite things are riding in the car, running, playing, tennis balls, and other dogs! If you think I would make a great addition to your family, contact the rescue today and give them my name because I am waiting to meet you!

BOXER SPOTLIGHT: FIELDGOAL

Fieldgoal is an ABR return looking for a new home.

Hi! My name is Fieldgoal, or as my family calls me, "Tucker"! I am a handsome 8 to 9 year-old unique flashy brindle boy that is an adopted return owner surrender due to changes in my family dynamics, and my owner doesn't have the time or means to care for me. I am described as friendly, active, smart, playful, and affectionate! It is said that I am unpredictable with small dogs. When on walks, I will react to them and the few times I've gotten away I ran up to them and was curious. I have been around toddler family members and am said to be kid friendly. I have never lived with a cat so it is uncertain if I am feline friendly and a proper meet and greet would be best. I am house trained, crate trained (will rush in if given a treat), and at night I sleep on the couch, in my crate, or next to the human's bed. I have basic command obedience training and know sit, crate, good boy, down, treat, water, and off! If the humans must be away, I am ok. My owner is sometimes away for 8-10 hours at a time and there are rare times that I would bark but do well otherwise! When outside I have good behavior and do not dig or attempt to jump fences/gates. There was an instance a gate had fallen, and I helped myself to a leisure run and then came back home. I do not like small animals, thunder, or fireworks. Some of my favorite things are riding in the car, running, going for 2-mile walks, plush toys, and pushing past other dogs to the front of the line to be the center of attention! If you think I would make a great addition to your family, contact the rescue today and give them my name because I am waiting to meet you!

BOXER SPOTLIGHT: SOPHIE V

Sophie V is an owner surrender looking for a new home.

Hi! My name is Sophie! I am a beautiful 10 year old flashy brindle lady that is searching for my forever home with my son Bruno VII! We are very bonded and go where the other goes so it's important we be adopted together! I am a proud member of the Silver Heart Program so be sure and ask about it because there are many perks for my adoptive family! Prior to coming to the rescue Bruno and I were living with our owner in his car after we lost our mom and home and our dad's health was failing. We have since settled into a foster home and are thriving! I will get excited and am learning not to jump, am not interested in toys or treats, do well with baths, enjoy car rides but need help getting in, and enjoy playing with Bruno (and I can keep up with him too)! I have only been around Bruno so it is uncertain if I am dog friendly beyond our bond. We have never lived with a cat but am said to be kid friendly! I am house trained but hate going out in the rain and prefer a human to go with me. I will go in my crate for a piece of cheese and am quiet but I prefer not to be in it. Although I am very active for my age, I am a well behaved lady and do not dig or attempt to jump fences/gates. I am fearful of storms and will go sit by the humans and tremble. If you think I would make a great addition to your family, contact the rescue today and tell them you would like to meet Silver Heart Sophie V and her boy Bruno VII because we are waiting to meet you!

BOXER SPOTLIGHT: BRUNO VII

Bruno is an owner surrender looking for a new home.

Hi! My name is Bruno! I am a handsome 7 year old flashy brindle boy that is searching for my forever home with my mom Sophie V! We are very bonded and go where the other goes so it's important we be adopted together! Prior to coming to the rescue Sophie and I were living with our owner in his car after we lost our mom and home and our dad's health was failing. We have since settled into a foster home and are thriving! I have the cutest and busiest wiggle butt and will intently and excitedly watch you when you speak to me. I will get excited and am learning not to jump, am learning how to play with toys and will play with rope toy occasionally, do well with baths, love food and treats, enjoy car rides, and enjoy playing with Sophie (she actually keeps up with me) until she is worn out! I have only been around Sophie so it is uncertain if I am dog friendly beyond our bond. We have never lived with a cat but am said to be kid friendly! I have attended some rescue adoption events and am very nervous on the leash around many people that I do not know. I do not like people (kids or adults) getting in my face and need slow approaches so that I know I am safe. Because of my nervousness it would be best if I am in a home with older kids or no kids. I am house trained but hate going out in the rain and prefer a human to go with me. I will go in my crate for a piece of cheese and am quiet but I prefer not to be in it. Although I am active for my age, I am a well behaved boy and do not dig or attempt to jump fences/gates. I am fearful of storms and will go sit by the humans and tremble. If you think I would make a great addition to your family, contact the rescue today and tell them you would like to meet Silver Heart Sophie and her boy Bruno VII because we are waiting to meet you!

🚨 URGENT: We’re Almost at Capacity‼️

Austin Boxer Rescue is dangerously close to closing intake. Our Hewitt facility is full, and without more fosters, we can’t save any more boxers, many at risk of euthanasia in overcrowded shelters all over Texas💔

If you’ve ever thought about fostering, now is the time. You’ll be saving two lives — the dog you take in and the one that gets to take their place.

Please help us keep saying YES.

BOXER SPOTLIGHT: SARGE IV

Hi! My name is Sarge! I am a handsome 8 year old fawn boy that is on the hunt for my forever home after being found as a stray in the Galveston area. I am an 85lb boy with very low energy. I am crate trained, leash trained, and house trained but will have an occasional p**p accident in the house if I don't get my daily walk the day before. I prefer to do 'my business' on my walks and keep my yard clean but I will go outside with coaxing and do my business if I must. I prefer to be inside laying around unbothered, so being outside is not my jam! When outside against my wishes, I do not dig, attempt to jump fences/gates, or try to run away. My walks are short and sweet and take 2-3x longer because I move slowly and take my time. There is a 10 year old beagle in my foster home and we do well together with occasional cuddles. I do not play with toys, balls, or people. I am not a fan of water or baths but if I am forced in the tub I will stand there and accept it. I am such a good boy that I am trusted to free roam the house outside of a crate while the humans are working. I will follow humans everywhere and can be considered a Stage 5 Clinger velcro dog. I do not willingly go on couches or beds and basically have to be put on them to cuddle. I have been around a 10 year old high energy human kid and did great and was very tolerant of him hugging and petting me constantly, so my foster mom believes I would do well with older kids that won't require me to play with them. It's unsure if I am cat friendly but I was spunky with a bird outside so I may not be a fan. My foster mom thinks I would do best in a low energy home with older dogs because I do like the company of dogs that aren't interested in playing. Although I look clinically depressed, I love attention! I'm the biggest sweetheart and need all the love and attention! If you are looking for a slow paced, low maintenance, loving guy, contact the rescue today and give them my name because I am waiting to meet you!

Sarge IV was named by Cheryl to honor her first rescue boy Sarge

BOXER SPOTLIGHT: KAYMAN

Kayman is an owner surrender looking for a new home.

Hi! My name is Kayman! I am a handsome 7-year-old fawn boy that is an owner surrender due to my owners having a baby. I am described as friendly, shy, nervous, and obedient. I don’t have the opportunity to play with other dogs but I am friendly with them. I get along great with all of the children and grandchildren of my home and currently live with 3 kids (ages 10-15 years). I do not live with a cat so it is uncertain if I am feline friendly. I am house trained, crate trained, and at night I sleep outside (I have slept inside in the past) due to my family needing the space. When the humans must be away I react calmly to being alone. When outside I do not attempt to jump fences/gates but I am curious what is under the grass and will dig to find out. Some of my favorite things are riding in the car, chew bones from Atwoods, getting pets, humans touching me, and baths! I’m not a fan of the heat so staying inside is more of my style. My current home says I “have been a very great dog for the family”. If you think I would be a great fit for your family contact the rescue today and give them my name because I am waiting to meet you!

BOXER SPOTLIGHT: TEEYA

Teeya is an owner surrender looking for a new home.

Hi! My name is Teeya! I am a beautiful 6 year old flashy fawn girl that is an owner surrender due to my owners being disabled and unable to care for me. I am described as active, smart, protective, playful, affectionate, quiet, and obedient! I am said to be dog friendly and am very playful and think all dogs want to play like I do! There are no children in my home and I have never had exposure to children so a proper meet and greet would be needed. I am protective over my family and will lunge to protect when I feel danger is coming to them. I am house trained, crate trained, and at night I sleep in my crate. While outside I have good behavior and do not dig or attempt to jump fences/gates. I am fearful of loud noises but some of my favorite things are riding in the car, playing with balls, long walks, and being around people! My current owner says I am a sweet dog that thinks everyone I meet wants to play. If you are looking for a sweet girl to join you on walks, hikes, or be a companion, contact the rescue today and give them my name because I am waiting to meet you!

BOXER SPOTLIGHT: EBBA

Hi! My name is Ebba! I am a beautiful 8 year old flashy fawn lady! No information is known about my history but I'm looking forward to my forever family now! I am energetic when I am first let out of my crate, but settle quickly. I am house trained, crate trained, and leash trained! I enjoy my evening walks and have been learning house rules and manners while settling nicely into daily routines. My foster home does not have kids so a proper introduction would be needed. I happily follow my foster mom around the house and am a world champion snuggler! I am an avid squirrel chaser and would chase them up the tree if I could, so I need to live in a cat free and small animal free home. Because I have a high prey drive with the squirrels, my foster mom doesn't leave me in the backyard unattended. I can be a bit bossy and protective so it would be best for me if I was the only dog in the home or paired with a passive male. If you are looking for a well mannered, snuggly lady, here I am! Contact the rescue today and give them my name because I am waiting to meet you!
