Thinking about adopting a Boxer puppy? Like most people, you’ve probably heard time and again that if you have kids, you should adopt a Boxer puppy (or, gasp! find a Boxer puppy for sale). The rationale is that an adult shelter dog is an unknown quantity, so buying or adopting a Boxer puppy is safer. Puppies eventually can be trained out of this behavior, of course, and there are exceptions to every rule, but generally speaking, an adult Boxer (or any adult dog) is much less likely to shred your drapes like coleslaw or function as a “helpful” canine document shredder.So a three-month-old Boxer puppy needs to go outside every three hours, a four-month-old needs to go every four hours, and so on.  But if you’re planning on leaving your dog alone during your workday, you’ll definitely want to adopt a full-grown dog, ideally from a Boxer rescue that can help you find the right dog for your lifestyle. Let’s bust these myths about adopting a Boxer Time to get real: when we ask people what reservations they have about Boxer adoption, we hear the same things over and over again.  

You CAN find purebred Boxers for adoption in an animal shelter or rescue group. Boxers and Boxer puppies for adoption are NOT in any way inferior to or different from those for sale. If you want a puppy, you DON’T have to buy a Boxer puppy.  Boxer puppies ARE available for adoption. Here’s the truth: you absolutely can find a Boxer, even a Boxer puppy, for adoption in an animal shelter or rescue group.  Think about it: let’s say you buy a Boxer puppy for sale by a breeder. But what would happen to your wonderful Boxer if, tragically, something happened to you? The lucky person who adopts your Boxer would be getting a great dog!  Boxer rescue organizations often care for their adoptable dogs in foster homes, which means their foster families will be able to tell you if the Boxer you want to adopt is good with other animals or kids, and if he or she is housebroken and knows any basic commands. As you can see, adopting from a rescue organization is likely the very safest way for people with children to add a new Boxer to their family!
