| ADOPTION APPROVAL PROCESS REQUIRES |
| ADOPTION REQUIREMENTS |
| 1. Fenced Yard Fence must be made of a material that will contain a dog, and goes completely around the yard with secure gates. Four feet tall is minimum height, six feet tall privacy fence is preferred. We have made exceptions in few cases, so please inquire if you do not have a fenced yard. 2. Boxer Kept as Companion Animal Boxer will be kept as an inside dog, a companion, part of the family. Never chained, tied out, kept in outdoor kennel/garage for extended hours. Boxers do not grow an undercoat, so they are highly prone to frost bite if left in the elements. A dog house would never provide enough cover for this breed. They will become emaciated in an attempt to stay warm. We rescue them from this kind of situation and will not put them back into it. You are their pack, and canines are not happy unless intermingling with their pack. 3. Nutrition Boxer must be kept on HIGH QUALITY DOG FOOD. The reason the rescues look so good after spending time in this program is because of the nutrition they have been receiving. Read the ingredients label and make sure there are no "by products" or wheat and corn, should be gluten free. The meat should be the number one ingredient listed. This is our weapon against cancer. Boxers are very prone to cancer. 4. Veterinary Care Boxer will be kept up to date on ALL yearly vaccinations, including Heartworm Preventative even if the disease is NOT prevalent in your area. Boxer will be treated for ANY and ALL health issues that arise, regardless of COST, with the exception of a senior dog or if the prognosis is not good. 5. Forever Home Boxer is getting adopted into his or her FINAL and FOREVER home. If for ANY REASON this does not turn out to be true then adopter is responsible for bringing Boxer directly back to Rescue. There will be no exceptions. Adoption fees will not be refunded after the initial two week period when dog is first adopted. You must hold onto the dog until we have a space available. Your dog will be given the highest of priority and will get the next open slot. 6. Training All boxers 2 years of age and under require the adoptive family take their new Boxer through a round of Group Obedience Classes. This must be scheduled within 30 days of the adoption. Proof of this class will be submitted within 60 days of the adoption. 7. Adoption Range You must reside within our adoption area. The area includes, the State of South Dakota, and approximately 300 mile radius of Rapid City and the Black Hills region. Exceptions have been made for special circumstances. Note: On occasion we do make exceptions to some of the above requirements. |
