Bruiser's Story

Look at those eyes!!! 😍 Welcome Bruiser to NJBR! This handsome boy was sadly surrendered to the shelter when his owner began facing serious health issues and could no longer care for him. Despite the change, Bruiser has been nothing short of a sweetheart. He is currently settling into his foster home, and his foster mom says he is perfect! Bruiser has been a wonderful house guest — he is well-mannered, comfortable in his crate, and easy to have around the house. Bruiser did arrive with kennel cough, so we haven’t been able to fully dog test him just yet. However, we do know he is good with cats and walked calmly around other dogs while at the shelter. If you already have a dog, a proper meet and greet will be required. The good news is he only has a few more days of meds, which gives you the perfect time to get your application in! Interested in Bruiser? Contact Barbara at BarbaraABoxer@gmail.com. Please remember you must be approved before meeting Bruiser or any other dog in rescue. Applications can be found on our website at www.njboxerrescue.com. Processing takes time as we are an all-volunteer rescue with jobs, families, and pups of our own — but we promise he is worth the wait! Bruiser Age: 5+ Dogs: Unknown (meet required) Cats: Yes Kids: 10+ Could Bruiser be the missing piece to your family?

New Jersey Boxer Rescue Inc.'s Adoption Policy

Thank you for considering to adopt a rescued boxer. The adoption process is outlined in the steps below. Please note, each step is contingent on the successful completion of the one before it. 1. Read our Adoption Policies than complete an Adoption Application The adoption application may seem long, but please understand each question is designed to assist in placing our beloved rescues in their forever home and to determine if the applicant is the best match for a particular dog. Our only reward is to ensure each dog is placed in their forever home. 2. Reference & Vet Checks After the initial review of the adoption Contract, a NJBR volunteer will call the references on your application. 3. Telephone Interview A telephone interview will be conducted, in order to review points on the application, answer any questions or discuss a particular dog. If the interview goes well a home visit is then scheduled. 4. Home Visit A NJBR volunteer will conduct a home visit in order to meet the family members, and other pets and to ensure that the home environment is suited for a boxer. Whenever possible a boxer will be brought along for the visit. 5. Approved for Adoption After the home visit is conducted, and of course if all goes well, you will be approved for adoption. At this point we will do our best to match a boxer with your home and in the ideal case coordinate the adoption of the dog you selected on your application. If we do not have the right dog for you and you do find a dog with another rescue group, we will be happy to share our approval information. 6. Email the Dog’s Contact Person If you are interested in a particular dog on the website, be certain to email the contact person listed in the dog’s biography. 7. Adoption At the time of adoption the following documents will be executed: Adoption Contract* – stipulating (in addtion to other contractual requirements, that the dog must be taken to obedience training unless their is a special circumstance (age or health) that prevents the dog from participating in training, Follow-up Schedule Restraint Agreement (stating the dog cannot be let off-lead in a non-fenced area) * In homes with children under the age of 12 the contract also states that the dog and children cannot be left alone un-supervised. 8. Follow Up A follow-up schedule is a part of our adoption package. We request that you keep in touch with us on a regular basis and we are always available to answer questions and provide support if needed.
