K2

Cami

Hello, my name is Cami and I am a young (maybe 1 1/2 year old) female who is now spayed. I was abandoned by my family; they moved and left me in the backyard. A good Samaritan came to my rescue and brought me to her home. She thinks that I may have been around to have puppies and then was no longer needed. I am a little shy at first meeting people (my current foster parent came over for over a week before I decided not to bark at him); but, I get along great with all dogs (male and female). I am even good on a leash even though it seems that I was never taken out much. I am now looking for a permanent home with someone who will come home everyday and love on me. If that is you, please contact BRA by email to find out more or arrange to meet me! Cami has been adopted!

Kami

Hi there, and yes my name is also Kami. I had a little accident and broke three toes on my left rear foot, oopsy. I still have about 4 more weeks to wear this annoying cast. But, I still have a lot of energy to get excited and play. Even though I will need to be re-checked and have the cast removed in four weeks, I’m ready to go to my new home if you'll just give me a little extra TLC. If you are interested in adopting Kami, please let us know by sending us an email! Kami is currently on a test drive!

Norman

This is Norman. He's a neutered male who is just a dream. He's about 3 yrs old and has great manners with other dogs. He is a very large lapdog! If you are interested in adopting Norman, please let us know by sending us an email! Thanks Liz & Sam for fostering Norman!

Handsome Harry

This is Handsome Harry. Harry was left on the street to fend for himself because of behavioral problems - his owner's. He is a fun loving, high energy, low energy boxer. How can that be? Well, Harry must have had a run-in with a much larger object (most likely a car). His left hind leg tends to stay up but not because it hurts. He broke a bone and it healed in a shortened position. He still runs at full force but does tire out after some rough-housing with his foster siblings. He is an extreme wiggle butt and his tail is always going and going and going! He loves people and other dogs and seems curious about cats while on walks but not overly interested. Handsome Harry has been adopted!

Audi

This is Audi. He comes to us from Roswell and just arrived on 7/3. He has been neutered and has received all of his shots. He's is a cutie and it's really fun to watch him play. He gets along well with the other foster dogs. Overall, he's pretty mellow unless you get him wound up by playing with him. He's a goofball and is the Pluto of the foster dogs. If you're interested please send us an email. Audi is currently on a test drive!

Delilah

Dancing “Delilah” is approximately 7 years old, and is anything but a wallflower. Don’t let that gray face fool you, this kid loves to wrestle her stuffed animals, play tag, and walks around the house as if she were on stilettos. Cute as a button and smarter than a fifth grader, she knows how to sit, stay, shake hands and always uses the doggy door. Loving and so affectionate she has warmed our hearts with her tender kisses and will light up your life with her bouncing, bubbly and ever cheerful personality. She is one very special little girl! Please send us an email. Thanks Stacy and Richard for fostering Delilah!

Penny

My name is Penny and I was rescued in Clovis. I was very skinny but I had a big surprise for the Shelter; I was pregnant and once I found my warm safe place, I delivered 8 puppies! Sadly one of my puppies didn’t make it but my foster family took care of me and my pups for 2 weeks. Once in Albuquerque my foster mom and her kids took care of me and my pups and I got all the food I could eat, Boxer Rescue of Albuquerque (BRA) made sure we got the very best food. From my foster Mom: Penny is a great dog and she was also a great mom, she always made sure that her pups were well fed and once they were big enough, loved to play with them and taught them good manners. Penny loves to play with her foster boxers and loves to play outside. I would like Penny to be in a home where she can get a lot of attention and maybe one or two other siblings to play with. If you are interested in Penny, please contact BRA so we can find Penny her forever home. Thanks Sheryl and Doug for fostering Penny!

Alfie

Hi! My name is Alfie (for all legs and feet) I was really skinny when my foster mom first picked me up from the shelter in Los Lunas. I had gotten sick after a tick bit me. I needed a blood transfusion and lots of antibiotics. Thanks to my hero- Dr. Neal I am healthy again. I will have to take a thyroid pill once a day from now on, but it isn’t expensive and my foster mom just puts it in my food. My favorite toy is my squeaky football although I recently discovered how much fun tennis balls are. I love to cuddle on the sofa with my foster sister Cheyenne. My foster mom tells me how handsome I am and I love when she smothers me with hugs and kisses. I always use my dog door to go potty outside and love going on walks. Alfie has been adopted!

Panchito aka Pancho

Hi my name is Panchito (toasted peanut). I am a male Boxer mix about a year old. I came to Albuquerque from Deming Animal Control. I have just been neutered and my tail has been docked. I am obviously a Boxer mix, but the more I hang around my foster brothers and sisters the more I am learning how to become a Boxer! I was pretty skinny when I first arrived but I am at my ideal weight of about 60 lbs. Being only a year old I am still very much a puppy and will need a good pack leader. If you are interested, contact one of our folks at BRA. Thanks Doug and Sheryl for fostering Pancho!

Please fill out the adoption form if you're interested in any of our dogs!

Las Cruces Boxers

Chato

This little guy is Chato. He is between 9-15 months old. He was left with someone’s grandmother and she is too fragile to take proper care of him. The neighbors are doing the best they can to help out, but he is not getting the attention and exercise he needs. The neighbor said he is a real sweetie and just wants to play. But Chato hasn’t really had any training and he is probably not house trained either. "In the time that I have spent with him, through the fence he is very sweet and just needs some attention." Chato has been adopted!

Shelter Boxers

Howdy! My name is Sloan and I'm waiting for you here in Aztec. From my photos I look like a Boxer mix but when you see me you'll know I'm ALL Boxer. Basically I'm all about wiggles and lots of love.

To find out more please contact the Aztec Animal Shelter. Sloan has been adopted!

Petey

I am a neutered male, tricolor Boxer mix. The shelter staff thinks I am about 1 year and 6 months old. I have been at the shelter since Aug 24, 2008. I'm a beautiful, high energy boy who needs alot of exercise. I should go in a home with a very high, secure fence and lots of attention. Please come see me today.

For Adoption By Owner

Andy

Andy is seven years old and purchased from boxer breeder in Albuquerque. He is very very easy going and extremely sweet. He can sit, shake hands, lay down on command, and stay on the couch or bed as long as I am on the couch or sleeping in my bed. My son had Andy and Jasmine ( our jack russell ) sleep with him from the time they were little puppies until he left for college 6 weeks ago. If left to their own sleeping desires they could all conk out for hours and hours together. If you are interested in Andy please contact Kevin at 316-1297 or email!

Boss

This is Boss. He was found by the side of the road chasing bugs. He is about 2 or 3 months old and is too young to be neutered. His color is golden brown and he has greenish color eyes. He is crate trained, extremely smart, very energetic and loves stuffed animals. Boss has been adopted!

Maya

Here is Maya - a boxer/pit mix that was found abandoned at a gas station up north here in New Mexico. It looked like she had been wearing a chain around her neck. She is about 2-3 years old, spayed and up to date on shots. She appears to be very good with kids and JUST LOVES TO BE LOVED! Her foster mom has about 15 other rescues and wants Maya to have the home she deserves - one with love and attention. Maya has been diagnosed with rickets and is on a calcium supplement. We know that Maya's forever home is waiting for her, so please contact Gail at 505-586-0010 to find out more, or you can also contact Boxer Rescue. Northern New Mexico Friends of Animals

Kodi & Apache

This is Kodi (top) and Apache (bottom), brothers from the same litter. They are current on all of their shots and very healthy as well. They are about 3 1/2 years old and are not neutered. They enjoy being outdoors and going for walks. They both really love people and kids and are very playful. They are not very good with other adult dogs, but may be with a puppy. They both love to hang out with me in the afternoon and at night they like to sleep on my bed. They have been together their whole lives, and if possible, I would like to keep it that way. I understand that it might be a little difficult, but I would like to see them stay together. Kodi is a little more hyper than his brother, but not so much that it is overbearing. Apache has always been the calmer of the two. He has a kind of laid back attitude and loves to cuddle. If you are interested in Kodi and/or Apache, please contact Charles by email or by phone 575-430-1227!

BRA almost always has a lack of foster homes, and therefore regretfully cannot serve every single Boxer dog in New Mexico who is displaced. We devised this page as a way for the public to be notified of additional Boxer dogs in need, but BRA does not get involved with behavior evaluations, health checks, vaccinations, etc. You, as the adopter, must understand from the family and the dog's records, what health or behavioral issues may exist. Boxer Rescue of Albuquerque does not charge a fee to the family to list the dog here or to the adopter who "adopts" the dog. We do not advocate offering pets for free, but it is ultimately up to each individual family whether they will charge a fee to the new person acquiring the dog (it's best for the dog if s/he comes with a fee because it helps to weed out people who acquire unwanted pets for use in dog fighting rings or who sell to animal testing facilities, etc.). Though the Boxers on this page remain with their families and do not enter our rescue program, we still care very much about the dog's well being and fate. That is why we allow descriptions to be posted here, in hopes that we can help a Boxer find a better home than if the family were to just give the dog away or take him or her to a shelter.

Our FABO dogs Missy, Guera, Camber, Murphy and Milo have all found new homes!
