Gunner's Story

Gunner is coming to town! Gunner needs a foster so he can begin his next chapter. If you’re able to open your home and heart, NJ Boxer Rescue will cover all medical care, provide food, and supply a crate if needed. Sadly, this handsome guy is coming from a breeder—the same situation that Sweetie and Chief came from a couple of months ago. If Gunner is anything like those two, he is going to be an amazing boxer. Gunner has been dog-tested and did well; however, he does show some dominant behavior but has since been neutered. He also had a lump removed and it was mass cell that was a low grade 2. The doctor was able to get clear margins. He will need to have some dental done and the rescue will cover that at our vet's office. If you are interested in fostering or learning more about Gunner to see if you might be a good fit, please reach out to Barbara at BarbaraABoxer@gmail.com Please note: You must be approved before meeting Gunner or any dog in rescue Applications (adoption or foster) can be submitted at www.njboxerrescue.com You will need to complete the full approval process, and we cannot hold dogs while applications are being processed. Gunner’s Details: Age: 6 years Housetrained: Yes Dogs: Yes Cats: Unknown Kids: 10+ Help us get Gunner out of the breeder situation and into a loving foster home where he can thrive. 💙🐾

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.
