Buddy's Story

WELCOME BUDDY TO NJ BOXER RESCUE! <br/><br/> Meet Buddy! This absolutely gorgeous 3-year-old brindle Boxer is looking for a new place to call home through no fault of his own. Sadly, his dad passed away suddenly, and Buddy has been staying with his grandparents. They love him, but they already have Buddy’s mom, dad, and another Boxer boy to care for, so they want to make sure Buddy finds a wonderful home where he will be safe, loved, and cared for the rest of his life. <br/><br/>Buddy is a bit of a diamond in the rough who just needs someone willing to help him polish up his manners! He could use some training and may need a little help with his housetraining, but he has a great start. He is crate trained and knows sit and down. With patience, consistency, and love, we believe Buddy can continue to learn and become an amazing companion!<br/><br/> What kind of home does Buddy need?<br/><br/> Buddy loves his mom, but he and his dad don't get along very well. Because of this, we believe he may do best with a female dog only.<br/> Buddy hasn't been around children, and like many Boxers, he can get jumpy when excited. Since this handsome boy weighs around 80 pounds, we think a home with older children, ages 12 and up, would be the best fit.<br/> Cats? That's still a mystery!<br/><br/>Buddy has been through a heartbreaking change in his life, and now he needs someone to give him a fresh start. Could you be the person who shows him that there is still so much love waiting for him? <br/><br/>INTERESTED IN BUDDY? <br/><br/>You must be approved by NJ Boxer Rescue before meeting him, so please submit your adoption application at www.njboxerrescue.com.<br/><br/>Already approved? Contact Barbara at BarbaraABoxer@gmail.com to learn more about Buddy and see if he might be the perfect addition to your family!<br/><br/>Let's help Buddy find the loving forever home he deserves! Please share to help this handsome boy find his people. <br/><br/>BUDDY'S PROFILE<br/>• DOB: March 14, 2023<br/>• Dogs: Females only<br/>• Cats: Unknown<br/>• Kids: Ages 12+<br/>• Weight: Approximately 80 lbs<br/>• Training: Crate trained; knows sit and down; needs work on manners and possibly housetraining

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. We especially love receiving pictures and updates on how your new family member is settling in.
