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.
