BRINDLE FEMALE *FOSTER NEEDED*

Our adoption process: 1. Completing an Adoption Application - Click here for why this is important! We screen potential adopters very carefully in order to find the best possible match for both you and our foster dogs. All adoptions are expected to be lifetime commitments! You must be at least 21 years of age to apply for adoption. We require that you complete the entire application including the contact name/ phone number of veterinarian, and 2 non-related personal references with email addresses and phone numbers. If your application is not complete, it will not be processed. MN Boxer Rescue does not usually place female Boxers in homes with other female Boxers or bully breeds. To have two female boxers live happily ever after takes the right personality and temperament between the two dogs. If you have questions about this policy, please email our Adoption Coordinator directly at adopt@minnesotaboxerrescue.onmicrosoft.com A fenced yard is required to adopt a deaf or blind dog. 2. Veterinarian and Personal Reference Check All pets in your home MUST be up to date on all vaccinations, receive heartworm preventive, and MUST be spayed/neutered. Once your references are checked, a volunteer will contact you to schedule a home visit. 3. Home Visit The purpose of the home visit is to inspect the surroundings in which our foster dogs will live, meet all household family members, address any major concerns, and get to know you better. (We are not at your home to pass judgment on your housekeeping skills.) 4. Adoption Fee Our adoption fee is based on the age and health of our dogs. The fee can range from $200.00 - $500.00. We will not negotiate adoption fees. This is not a "sale" but a fee that enables us to continue to help more Boxers in the future.
