ADOPTION GUIDELINES/PROCESS
Our adoption process is easy. You will need to fill out an adoption application and schedule your interview.
Applications are not processed without an interview.
Boxer Lovers does not adopt on a first come/first serve basis - to do so would only set our boxers and adopters up for failure.
For our boxers to find their forever home means you finding the boxer that is going to fit well within your family dynamics.
Just as our boxers are all different, so are our adopters. Boxer Lovers does not believe in blanket policies and will do our best to process all applications based on their own merits. Through our adoption application and non-judgemental conversations our
Adoption Team strives to learn more about your family dynamics and what you are looking for in a boxer that will help us
match you with your new family member.
We cannot tell you how long it will take to adopt as that depends on your family's needs and the boxers currently with us.
If we do not have a boxer that is a good fit, we will continue to help you find the right boxer for your family.
We do ask that you stay open-minded and not get stuck on a boxer's looks. While we understand that the little fawn girl is cute as a button or the brindle boy may look like the boxer you lost several years back, they may also be the worst possible fit.
Once we both agree on a boxer, he/she will be placed on hold and we will send you the adoption agreement and link for the adoption fee. Both must be completed within 24 hours. If not completed, the hold on the boxer is removed.
Boxers need to be picked up within 10 days of adoption. Holding adopted boxers takes away space from the next boxer needing help. Transport may be available, depending on your location. We do also have drivers that will transport for a fee to cover their expenses.
If interested in transport, ask your Adoption Coordinator what is available.
