BOXER SPOTLIGHT: ROSS AKA TUCKER

Ross aka Tucker is an owner surrender looking for a new home.

Hi! My name is Ross aka Tucker! I am a handsome 9-year-old brindle boy that is an owner surrender due to not being dog friendly and for everyone’s safety, it is best that I am the only dog in the home. My current home is next to a creek/golf club that is unfenced, and I do not get along with any animals that come into my yard. I am described as friendly, active, smart, playful, affectionate, and obedient! Like a typical boxer, I love kids! There are no kids in my current home but there are a lot of neighbor kids that I interact with and they love me! I am house trained and have had crate training in the past, but I am able to be trusted to freely roam the house when the humans are away. I initially bark when they leave the home but settle in once they are gone. Like a true king, at night I sleep on a stacked throne of 3 dog beds in the human’s bedroom. 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, Kong toys, bones, being brushed, and catching frisbees! My current family wants nothing more than for me to have a safe and active home for me to play and be loved! If you think I would be a good addition to your family, contact the rescue today and give them my name because I am waiting to meet you!

BOXER SPOTLIGHT: ANIMAIS

Animais is an owner surrender looking for a new home.

Hi! My name is Animais! I am a handsome 9-year-old flashy fawn guy that is an owner surrender due to a change of lifestyle and my current owner can't afford medical treatment for me. One of my eyes appears different from the other, but while I am waiting for my forever home, they are looking into my eye. I am described as friendly, smart, calm, protective, affectionate, quiet, and obedient! I am said to be dog and kid friendly! I get along with all dog ages and share well with them! There are kids of all ages that visit my home and I'm great with them and protect them! I am not cat friendly, so I need a cat free home. I am house trained, crate trained, and at night I sleep in the human bed. When the humans must be away, I am great being left alone. When outside I have good behavior and do not dig or attempt to jump fences/gates. I am fearful of fireworks but some of my favorite things are riding in the car, any dog toy, basically anything and everything! My current owner says I am "a great boxer for any family of all ages". 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: JAX VI

Jax VI is an owner surrender looking for a new home.

Hi! My name is Jax VI! I am an 8-year-old handsome white boy that is an owner surrender due to my owner moving to a place that doesn’t allow dogs. My sister Tara II is also looking for her forever family and we are bonded and would prefer to be adopted together. I am described as friendly, protective, affectionate, and nervous. I am not around other dogs much besides my sister so it’s unsure how dog friendly I am. I currently live with four kids (ages 6-17 years) and I do fine with them. I do not like cats, so I need a cat free home please! I am house trained, crate trained, and sleep in my crate at night. When the humans must be away, I am fine in my crate. When outside I have good behavior and do not dig or attempt to jump fences/gates. I am fearful of thunder and fireworks. Some of my favorite things are riding in the car and my sister Tara! If you are looking to add a couple lovely boxers to your family, contact the rescue today and give them my and Tara’s name because we are waiting to meet you!

Memorial - Benny (ABR Spike)

Benny (ABR Spike) didn't have an easy start in life. From what we can tell he was found on the streets of San Antonio emaciated and was given to ABR who graciously nursed him to health until he could be adopted. I remember looking at his profile on the ABR website for the first time in March 2015. I was overseas on deployment and wasn't going to be home for another two months. I thought there was no way that beautiful Boxer would still be available by the time I got home. When it came time for us to look at him we were nervous because another family had an appointment to see him an hour before us. Fortunately for us they missed their appointment. As soon as Benny was let out of his cage to meet us he took a play stance. From that moment on June 27th, 2015 Benny became part of our family.

Benny loved to wrestle and play hide-n-seek. After a play session I always had to lay on the floor with him for a few minutes because he loved to lay down right next to me. He never missed an opportunity to be around his family. He was patient and loving with our two boys who grew into adulthood with Benny at their sides. He lit up every room he was in. There was never a bad day at work or school that wasn't made better by coming home and being greeted by Benny. In February 2025 we learned that he had extensive lung cancer. On Sunday, April 6th 2025, when Benny was probably 12 years old, his condition deteriorated significantly and we knew it was time. He passed peacefully surrounded by a family that loved him very much. Benny brought boundless joy and love into our lives. We will forever be grateful to him for that and hold him close in our hearts until the end. We love you, Benny.

Thank you again, ABA. The loss our family feels now is only a reflection of the joy that Benny brought into our lives and your organization and volunteers made that possible.

BOXER SPOTLIGHT: ARIEL II

Ariel II is an owner surrender looking for a new home.

Hi! My name is Ariel! I am a beautiful 8 year old flashy brindle girl that is an owner surrender due to the kids in my home being allergic to me and my family's new home doesn’t allow large pets. I am described as friendly, calm, protective, nervous, and affectionate! I am said to be dog friendly but I MUST HAVE a slow introduction to them, so I would likely be best as the only dog in the home. I am said to be kid friendly and currently reside with four kids (ages 7-11 years). I have never lived with a cat so it is uncertain if I am feline friendly. I can be a little mischievous and will get into the bathroom trash if the doors are left open or I get bored. I like to be intimidating and will bark and run towards people but once I get to them I give them kisses and want them to love on me! I am house trained, crate trained, and at night I sleep on my dog bed or on the couch. When the humans must be away, I react fine. I am very good about alerting my family to strangers at the door by barking at them. When outside I have good behavior and do not attempt to jump fences/gates or dig. I do not like being jumped on because it hurts me. Some of my favorite things are riding in the car, large rope with tennis balls, treats, and cuddles. If you think my brother and I would make a great addition to your family, contact the rescue today because we are waiting to meet you!

BOXER SPOTLIGHT: BONNIE IV

Bonnie IV is an owner surrender looking for a new home.

Hi! My name is Bonnie IV! I’m a beautiful 6-year-old brindle girl that is an owner surrender due to my family not having enough time for me and I’m no longer getting along with the other dog in the home. For everyone’s safety, it is best that I am the only dog in the home. Years ago I was separated from my family for 8 months and it is suspected that contributed to some of my behavior with other dogs. I am described as shy, playful, affectionate, and nervous! I am kid friendly and currently live with 3 kids (ages 2-6 years old) and love them! I have lived with a cat and did not like it so I need to be in a cat free home. I am timid and shy around strangers and will bark and run from them. I am house trained, crate trained, and sleep in my crate at night. When the humans must be away from the home, I do ok but prefer to be with the family. I am fearful of new people, storms, and fireworks and do not like sharing my people or food with other dogs. When I am 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, playing catch, balls, getting love and hugs from the humans, treats, and food! If you think I would make a good addition to your family, contact the rescue today and give them my name because I am waiting to meet you!

BOXER SPOTLIGHT: ATWOOD

Hi! My name is Atwood! I am a spry young puppy that was born February 19th in the rescue! My name 'Atwood' is of English origin, meaning "at the wood". As you can see, I am a very handsome puppy! I am mostly black, with a white stripe from my nose to the top of my head and 4 white 'socks' on my feet! My foster mom says I am "very special" and full of "rags, tags, and puppy dog tails"! I don't mind going into my crate and am working on house training. I love to play with my foster brother and sister. I love to run around and play in the backyard or with toys inside the house. I like to pick up anything and everything with my mouth that I find outside and my foster mom keeps telling me to "drop it" but I like the crunch sound of dried leaves and can't help myself! If you think I would make a great fit for your family, contact the rescue today and give them my name because I am waiting to meet you!

BOXER SPOTLIGHT: OLEDA

Hi! My name is Oleda! I am a 2-3 year old petite flashy fawn girl that previously lived my life as a stray but am now enjoying life in my foster home! I am a happy, charming, loving girl that enjoys sunbathing or napping on the sofa! I have alot of energy that I will burn off by chasing toys, rough housing with my foster fur sister, or jump and trot with joy when greeting the humans! I am house trained, crate trained, and leash trained! I follow the humans and resident dogs everywhere because I don't want to miss out on any fun. If I am laying down, I like to be touching a human or other dog. I am a very smart, obedient girl that wants to please and has already learned basic commands! I love belly rubs, boxing with both of my paws, and gently accepting treats! I have done very well being introduced calmly and kindly to kids and have been wonderful with my foster’s 7 yr old nephew. I am wonderful with the resident dog in my home and meeting other dogs on my walks. In regards to strangers that approach us, I am cautious and protective of my foster mom but it appears to be because I see her as my human and person that nursed me back to good health and I want to do my part and protect her. When I am with others, I do just fine and am completely 'happy go lucky' and friendly! 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: KWAME

Kwame is an owner surrender looking for a new home.

Hi! My name is Kwame! I am a handsome 4 year old fawn boy that is an owner surrender due to my owners having a baby and wanting to find me a home that can give me more attention. I am described as friendly, active, protective, playful, affectionate, and nervous! I can be vocal and bark alot at people. I also like to bark at other dogs due to not being socialized with them in my current home. I live with a 1 year old kid and do well with them. I have never lived with a cat so it is unsure if I am feline friendly. I am house trained, crate trained, and at night I sleep in my kennel. If the humans must be away and I am left alone, I stay in my kennel and relax. When I am outside, I have good behavior and do not dig or attempt to jump fences/gates. I do not like getting my nails trimmed because it makes me uncomfortable, so please no spa days! Some of my favorite things are riding in the car, chewing toys that squeak, and to be rubbed on!

BOXER SPOTLIGHT: Bruno VII

Bruno VII is an owner surrender looking for a new home.

Hi! Our names are Sophie V and Bruno VII ! We are a bonded mother and son pair that are 10 years old (Silver Heart Sophie V) and 7 years old (Bruno VII). Be sure and ask about the Silver Heart program because there are great perks for our adoptive family! We are an owner surrender after our mom passed away, we became homeless with our dad, his health is failing and we are looking for our forever family! We are said to be friendly, shy, active, calm, affectionate, and quiet! We have only been around each other and no other dogs so it is uncertain if we are dog friendly beyond our bond. We have never lived with a cat but are said to be kid friendly! We are house trained and currently sleep in the back seat of our dad's car. We will need assistance learning crate training manners if that is what is needed in our forever home. When outside we have good behavior and in the past have not dug or attempted to jump fences/gates. If our dad must be away, we are good for short periods of time. We are fearful of loud thunder but love riding in the car, anything that squeaks, and each other! Our dad says he loves us and wants us to continue to be loved! If you think we would make a great addition to your family contact the rescue today and tell them you are interested in meeting Silver Heart Sophie V and her boy Bruno VII because we are eagerly waiting to meet you!

BOXER SPOTLIGHT: SPICY PICKLE

Hi! My name is Spicy Pickle! I am a tiny, beautiful 2-year-old, flashy brindle girl with a ton of personality! I love to run zoomies, leaping over tables and chairs, and work on my speed to everyone's enjoyment! When my foster mom says to stop though I do. I need some polishing of my house manners but, I want to please, and am obedient to voice corrections. I love car rides and will gladly jump in the car and look out the window on your lap! I am gentle with kids and at 35 lbs, I am not intimidating to even little ones. The kids in my foster home love to run and play tug with me and my toys. I hop right onto their laps and love to be held while watching tv with them! I have a soft, play mouth and love to chew on my toys, chase balls, and play tug. I sleep all night in the human's bed, snuggling up close and I never get up during the night. I am house-trained and crate-trained! I love to go places but need some help with my leash manners, I get so excited I pull but, I'm small so it's manageable. And just need some consistent training.

I get along well with the male and female resident dogs. The girl ignores me and we tolerate each other. I try to play with the male but due to his age, he doesn't respond much.

I need a very slow introduction and would do good by myself as an only dog. I have had a couple of meet and greats with potential siblings and have reacted poorly. My foster mom thinks I'm territorial so I don't like dogs coming in to "my" house. If you would like to meet me we may need to meet on neutral ground or perhaps I could come to your house for a visit?

The resident dogs and I eat separately but share toys and beds well so I can get along with dogs it just may take some time and a patient family.

My foster mom says my little personality is lovely and so sweet! I want attention and to be with humans as much as possible. I am sometimes shy and have some trauma in my background so I can flinch or react like you're going to strike me but, I'm getting more confident and less fearful by the day! I'm usually eager to roll over and let you rub my belly or rest my chin on your leg while you're working. If you are looking for an active, young, sweet girl who can be trained to be your best companion, look no further! Contact the rescue today and give them my name because I am waiting to meet you!

BOXER SPOTLIGHT: EMERALD

Hi! My name is Emerald! I am a beautiful 1-1/2 yr old flashyfawn girl that is ready to find my forever home! I am medium energy with bouts of high energy when I’m ready to play or get excited. I am house trained, crate trained, and leash trained! I enjoy going on walks and if there are other dogs around, I like to be the boss and in the lead. I love to lay in your lap and enjoy belly rubs. There are no children in my current home, but my foster mom believes I would do well with children over the age of 7. When I first arrived at my foster home, my foster Mom removed all food from common areas, but over the last two months I realized I am always going to be fed and no longer feel challenged by the other dogs to get my fair share. I am still fed separately from the other dogs in the house, so there is no competition. However, I am very food motivated and am always looking for an easy meal (open bags of chips, sandwich left close to the end of the table … funny story!). I currently live with a 7 YO male husky mix and 7 YO female boxer. I love to play and can be a little rowdy, I dance on my hind legs, stomp my feet and punch out with my front feet to get my playmates attention. I was recently introduced to a female cocker that came to visit for the weekend, and we played until we both collapsed for a nap. Initially I was a little aggressive with my play, but after I realized she didn’t play at that level, I laid on the ground and let her lead our playtime. My ideal home would include another playmate with the same energy level. I sleep in the crate at night and do well in it. I love my chew toys and when no one is ready for playtime, I will find a toy and play on my own. If you are looking for a SMART, smaller, sweet girl, look no further! I’m trainable and love to please my humans, my foster dad has taught me to sit, shake and beg. Contact the rescue today and give them my name because I am waiting to meet you!

Emerald was named as a Happy Birthday to Lisa who has devoted many years transporting boxers to safer and more loving homes.
