11/1/2026Alli is an owner surrender looking for a new home.Hi! My name is Alli! I am a beautiful 6 year old flashy fawn girl that is an owner surrender due to my owner going to live in a long term health facility and unable to care for me any longer. I am bonded and need to be adopted with my littermate, Tyson XV, which means double the Boxer love for you! I am described as friendly, active, smart, playful, and affectionate! My brother and I get along great with an occasional tussle, but I have not had exposure to other dogs besides him. I have never lived with a cat so it is unsure if I am feline friendly.

There were no kids in my home but I am said to be kid friendly and very loveable and want to lick everyone! I am house trained, crate trained, went to obedience training but no follow through afterwards, eat Purina Pro Plan Sensitive Skin and Stomach dry dog food Salmon flavor, and sleep in the house at night! When the humans must be away I am fine and my brother and I keep ourselves entertained or nap. 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, playing and tussling with my brother, food, affection, and activities to keep me busy! 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!

Read more about Phoenix IV
I currently live with cats and we are said to get along well! Sometimes we snuggle and I like to playfully chase them off if they drink from my water. I currently live with a 14 year old kid and my owner says I would do best with older kids. When new people come in the home I will bark at them because I am protective of my humans. I am house trained, crate trained, eat Royal Canin Boxer food, and sleep on the couch or human bed at night. If the humans must be away, I have learned to calm myself and will mostly sleep awaiting their arrival. When outside I have good behavior and do not dig or attempt to jump fences/gates. When scolded I cower and get very scared so positive reinforcement works great for me! I'm fearful of thunderstorms and I do need anxiety meds when experiencing new things or during stressful situations. I love riding in the car, greenies, bully sticks, belly and neck scratches, following the humans around when cleaning or doing yardwork, and staring at the humans intensely until they give in to what I want! 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!

Senior · Male · Boxer · 18 mi from Leander




Hi! My name is Curry! I am a handsome fawn 6 year old boy but I am not your average senior. I still enjoy and require plenty of exercise and will get restless without it! I am high energy and enjoy a 'job' to occupy me. I am friendly with other dogs, even those smaller than me. I needed a short introduction to the resident boxers and was curious but not aggressive. It was found out that I do not like cats, so a cat free home is needed. I love to play catch, play fetch, car rides, and play with toys all night! I am house trained, crate trained, can self soothe, know basic commands, and am doggy door trained! I also appreciate good hygiene and love to shower! I often go into the shower and beg my foster mom to turn the water on.

Hi! My name is Mia III! I am a 6 year old fawn girl that had a short stay in the shelter as an owner surrender due to a "new baby" in my old family. A volunteer saved me and now I am in a foster home and doing great! I am an "all energy" type of girl! My foster home expected a senior but I came packed with energy and alot of love to give! I love to be close to people or pets, go for car rides, snuggle, take part in any human activity (cooking, watching tv, playing computer, crafting, etc), have learned home routines well, and am enjoying being everyone's shadow! I enjoy being outside to sunbathe and most importantly, run! I love toys and the louder the better! I love water! Whether it's my entire face in the bowl or the hose outside, I will soak myself until I can't anymore! I am house trained, crate trained, and leash trained.
Read more about Mia III
While I love everyone, a home with older children who can maintain their balance due to me being a trip hazard would be best. I have very limited exposure with the senior cat in the home. I am extremely curious, but also hesitant with it. There are two resident dogs and I love playing and living among them. I play hard, can outlast even the youngest one, cuddle with them, and cannot picture myself without another dog in my forever home! It's not necessarily a recommendation but a requirement that I have a dog companion to play and relax with! I greet everyone with my whole body which I am actively working on polishing that manner and keeping all paws on the floor! If you think I would make a great addition to your family and you are consistent, patient and gentle in guiding me to be the best girl I can be, contact the rescue today and give them my name because I am waiting to meet you!

I am a beautiful 7 year old brindle girl that is an owner surrender due to my owner not having the time or ability to care for me. I am bonded with my littermate, Rocky, and need to be adopted together which means double the boxer love! I am described as friendly, active, smart, protective, playful, and affectionate! I live with my littermate Rocky and we get along great! If I meet other dogs I do not know, I am reactive until I connect with them. I do not live with a cat so it is uncertain if I am feline friendly.

There are no children in my home but I have had exposure to a 4 year old and am said to be kid friendly! I am house trained, crate trained, eat Instinct raw dog food, and at night I sleep on a dog bed in the living room. If the humans must be away, I am fine with other dogs to keep me company. When outside I have great behavior and do not dig or attempt to jump fences/gates. Some of my favorite things are riding in the car, a ball, and giving & receiving affection! If you think Rocky and I would make a great addition to your home contact the rescue today and give them our names because we are waiting to meet you!

6/6/2026Bo II is an owner surrender looking for a new home.Hi! My name is Bo II! I am a handsome 7-8 year old boxer boy that is an owner surrender due to being found and my current caretakers are unable to keep me. I am described as friendly, calm, playful, affectionate, quiet, and obedient! There is a chihuahua and a beagle in my home and I can be intimidating to them when having the zoomies, but I am calm and do not bother them. It is unknown if I have lived with a cat so it is uncertain if I am feline friendly. There are no kids in my home but there is a 30 year old quadapalegic boy and I follow him around and gently stand on my hind legs to greet him and allow him to pet me.

I also had exposure to multiple adults when my caretakers had a small gathering and I was kind and quiet with everyone. I am house trained but would need assistance crate training if that's required in my forever home. At night I sleep on a dog bed and it is unknown how I will react if the humans must be away because they currently work from home. When outside I have good behavior and do not currently jump fences/gates. Some of my favorite things are riding in the car, playing with a ball, running zoomies, receiving affection, lounging on the sofa, and taking naps! 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!

27. Dasha
Senior · Female · Boxer · 18 mi from Leander




Hi! My name is Dasha! I am a beautiful 6-8 year old petite fawn girl that recently had puppies but now the rescue is working hard to find me my own forever home! I am a fun girl that likes to play chase and play box but am the best snuggle partner when it's time to relax! I'm a little stubborn but if you have cheese or watermelon, I'm all ears! I am house trained, crate trained, leash trained, know to sit for my meals, and "load up" when needing to get in my crate! I'm a smart girl that takes about a week to get into routine but am golden after that! I recently had toddlers and my foster home's 10 year old granddaughter visit and I was very gentle with them! I currently live with another dog and I enjoy playing chase with them or roughhousing sometimes.
